Hey Tom, your plants look really happy - I cant see below the canopy, but you may want to clean up the lower half and let those tops get all the glory. You have a few stretchers, which you could still train down and even the canopy - with a TS1000, you would do well with keeping them as close to all bud sites as you can. Keep the pics comming, as I would really love to see how this plays out. Well done so far and happy growing!!

GH Trio and calmag. Ph'd to 6.5-6.8. Got some flower fuel too but it's only been used once now at 1/4 recommended dose. Water, water, feed. That's how I've been doing this run. So far no nute burns and no signs of deficiency.

Honestly, I bought a big bag of miracle grow from the local farm store. Small bag of earth worm castings, small bag of bone meal, and a small bag of perlite. Mixed them all together in a big storage bin and that was that. Soil ph gauge has read 6.5 since the start.

Three weeks ago the plants were looking really good, now you have some yellowing and I think I see some rust spots on the left side of the photos. Question about this statement: "Soil ph gauge has read 6.5 since the start". Are you using the inexpensive combo ph, moisture gauge or a high quality ph guage to measure your soil ph? The cheap ph probes are not really accurate. I'd suggest measuring your feed / water ph with a decent ph pen or at least some strips or drops. i.e., just make sure your ph isn't way off before you do anything. If the ph is good, could it be lockout? Maybe give them a couple of half strength feeds with plenty of runoff.
Hopefully this helps a little and it would be good to get some other opinions too. Be careful not to fix anything too much!

So yes it is just a pH probe that I got for the first grow. It has been pretty accurate thus far as I check my run off with a digital pH pen after I water/feed. Runoff is typically 6.4-6.7. I'm just wondering if they are hungry as I go pretty light with nutes. The last few feeds have been 2ml GH Gro, 4ml GH Bloom, 4ml CalMag, half recommended dose of Flower Fuel, and 3ml PH Up to put me at 6.4 to 6.5. So I'm thinking maybe double up on my doses of nutrients next feed and see what happens. Thoughts?

Hmm, if you're using the GH Floratrio, where is your floramicro? But yeah, they do look hungry and like they are missing something.

I withheld the micro the last 2 feeds because of the higher N content in it.
