Observations & Actions Taken
I identified what looked to be a calcium deficiency and took the following action:
- On date of 1st feeding, top dressed 3 tbsp dolomite lime to each plant
- on date of 2nd feeding, top dressed 1 tbsp dolomite lime to each plant
- 2 days after the 2nd feeding, fed 1 tbsp of dolomite lime mixed in 750ml of water, distributed evenly among 4 plants.
- I went easy on the dolomite lime b/c of its effect on soil ph. I figured it was better to start low and see how the plants reacted.

-Double Grape has been the most vigorous grower, but, like my other 3 plants, recently seems to have slowed down. Double grape is also showing signs of nitrogen and calcium deficiency. 3 Bears OG has steadily trailed Double Grape in terms of growth. I'm concerned about what I'm seeing on 3BOG as it looks like it could be pest related or it could be from past waterings. I'm unsure. (pic related: 3BOGP1_2)

- I suspect that I simply haven't been feeding them enough and since they're in flower I was thinking giving each girl:
- 5 tbsp 4-4-4​
- 5 tbsp 2-8-4​
- 3 tbsp dolomite lime​

Let me know if you think I'm off base here and what you think I could do to help these girls. Thanks.

Try 15 -20 gallons. 5 is to small for organics.. Follow the system on the buildasoil website. The worms do all the work. Chop and drop. I collect rain water, and run it through a 25u bubble bags. No meters needed. You also need a good source of compost.
