Ok, ok, ok......so I royally f'ked up my babies by feeding them nutes with 7.8-7.9 ph in Pro-mix. Partly my PH Pen's fault for not working properly and partly my fault for not calibrating the pen and finding this out earlier!
Anyway after a miserable two weeks including a full 5 hour per pot flush session to return the PRO-Mix to a ph of 6.3 the gals have come back full force and we are back on track with the feeding and vegging in my 600 W SCROG.
(I guess the silver lining for a newbie scrogger is that at least the problem was found and the corrective action worked...)
Problem is is that the girls, IMO, still need another 2 weeks of veg feeding under 18/6 to suck up enough Nutes (that they didn't get for almost two weeks in which the fan leaves had turned quite pale) before flipping into 12/12 flowering..... yet my SCROG screen is very nearing 50% full!
To add to this the species is Brainstorm, which is predominately a sativa and is noted to stretch at least another 50% during flowering.
Soooooo... the issue is should I continue veg feeding to beef up the plants nute levels/overall health for flowering which will in turn give me capacity/screen problems later when the gals stretch for flowering ....
Or..... should I chance the current plants condition while they still seem to be recuperating and flip to flowering, in which I won't have a screen/capacity problem... but the gals might perform poorly (or worse) during flowering???
Thanks in advance!
