RastaRoy, Im using Nectar for the Gods advanced feeding. Im not sure if I like it yet as Im already seeing some issues possibly with Iron deficiency (from using RO water?), Nitrogen deficiency, or it could be from overdose. I have only given the small ones one full dose yesterday (5/23) at 1/2 strength. And I gave them a small dose at the beginning of the second week but it was just a small amount of leftover diluted with RO water that was leftover from feeding the 2 larger ones... So maybe 1/8th dose? I got the 6 bottles as a free sample.
Ive been giving at Ph 6.5-6.6 (recommended at 6.4), and my soil runnoff of the affected plants as of yesterday was tested at 6.46... So Im not sure whats going on here. Im thinking if I simllify this whole thing Ill run into less issues.

I am going to start flushing with Ph 6.5 tap water on their next watering and I might either just switch to the beginner line with the 3 main bottles instead of 6 advanced line, or I might go pick up a different nutrient line that only has 1-2 bottles so theres less margin for error.

Not the best picture - my first grow in 35+ years. 4 Critical Mass clones, 60x60 micro scrog under 400w HPS. End of 2nd week of flowering. Apparently this strain finishes in 7 weeks so I'm starting a count down!

Yeah that all sounds way too complicated. I'm taking advantage of daylight and getting some work done outside right now but I can give you some advice later tonight on how I run my personal garden and you can read my thread about my simple one.

That would be awesome, I appreciate that. I got the Nectar line for free so I just thought Id try it out but Im really not liking it. Its just too much. Lets chat later though, Im always looking to learn from more experienced growers and get some ideas about my own. I think what Ill end up doing is just flushing and starting over with a different line that only has 1-2 bottles such as FF, House and Garden soil A+B, or even DynaGrow, all of which they carry at my local nursery.

The appearance of different colored zones in the leaves, sometimes also the stem of a plant.

Welcome to RIU and nice lamp!
Oh ok yea Ive heard of that but didnt remember the name for it.
Whats actually going on I belive is the result of a nutrient deficiency/lockout. Im going to begin a flesh here starting with the next watering and probably go with a simpler 1-2 part nutrient system for veg instead of this 6 bottle Necatar for the Gods stuff... Too much and too high margin for error. Im thinking FF, House and Garden A+B, or Dyna-Gro maybe Im still reaearching.

Yeah, someone who thinks he can grow told me to use the nectar of the gods line, went to the hydro store and that stuff is ridiculously expensive. Dyna-Gro 9-3-6 is great from start to finish, I feed quarter strength every day for a lot of the grow. It's better to feed in small amounts frequently than little amounts occasionally because that is how it works in nature. Plants don't get a major boost of nutrients and then nothing is available for a week or two.. You can use bloom for the last week or two but it isn't really necessary, use "bloom" nutes too early in flower and you will get N defs. Also be careful not to misdiagnose defs/lockouts.

Yea it is is pretty expensive stuff. It was free but if I had bougt one to start I probably would have just went with FF or something that is tried and true. I could just use the Nectar 3 part but Id orefer at this point to use something that if I have issues with I can get more input.
I am being as careful as possible which I decided to just flush with Ph adjusted water to 6.5 and see if they start getting better. If they do, I know what it was. If they get worse, I know it was a lack of something and I can adjust that too. I should have just went simple from the start... Live and learn right?

Did I put them outside too early?

What do I do when the clones top growth dies? Seems like the twisted ball of gross that forms takes long enough to justify a replacement each time

Really nice - strain, age?
Thanks! It's Blueberry @ day 59 from flipping to 12/12

It's coming out a little different than the mother I took the cuttings from did, looks more indica-y. Only big difference was getting a dehumidifier and I guess the temps have been lower overall because of the season. Here's the plant I took the clones off of:

Not sure if mine are performing or not :( Small 60x60cm scrog - Critical Mass clones - first grow in far too many years...

Flower day 28, harvest in about 22

Yellowing is them just coming off a hard week of Canna PK13/14 - not an issueIMG_0301.JPG IMG_0327.JPG IMG_0310.JPG IMG_0316.JPG
