Magnesium deficiency? Maybe?

These look like a way better route than the traditional stake I was thinking of. I love how I wouldn’t have take the chance of disturbing the roots.

Now the only obstacle is figuring out where to hang the lines from. This grow is in a stand up shower And I have a plank sitting on the top of it for my LED’s to hang from. I’m sure I could figure out a way to make it work by fixing it to the plank somehow.

How are yours fixed up in the closet? Do you Just have them screwed into the wall?

Ya, I have eyehooks screwed in to the sides of the closet that I've stringed twine through. I just attach the yoyo's to the twine and I'm good to go. I also use the light hangers ropes as anchors too. There's all kinds of stuff you can do with these things. I don't like the idea of stabing my roots or soil life also.

I didn't read all of this thread, too long, but you think that pH'ing to 6 might contribute to a problem?
FFOF is ready to use, out of the bag. Micros would be nice, but not required. Granular ferts require micros to break down to a molecular level that roots can take up. Granular, as in Down to Earth, Whitney Farms, Dr. Earth, etc. Whitney and Dr. Earth come with micros.

I didn't see he's pH'ing to 6. That's probably not helping.

FFOF does have microbes out of the bag, but adding more via extra EWC or other methods isn't a bad thing.

@PadawanWarrior Awesome! As always, I appreciate the help!

I'd give plain water for a bit and see how they respond. I have a feeling you're on the low side of the pH we want in soil. FFOF shouldn't really need any pH adjustment for awhile but you probably flushed a lot of the Ca buffering shit out by giving it more acidic water. Check the soil pH if you can.

I stopped adjusting the pH a couple weeks back and sticking to water straight out of the tap. It’s testing out at 7 on the nose.

I do need to invest in a soil pH reader and am going back and forth between getting a good one or a cheaper one from Home Depot or Garden center.

I started flushing with just water starting this past Saturday. I stopped feeding/supplementing in hopes I can chop soon. (My high school age niece is coming over to watch my daughter in a couple weeks and I really don’t want these girls hanging around - ready or not).Out of curiosity, are you pro-flush before the pre-chop dark period? There is a lot of debate out there if it’s necessary. I would rather take my chances for a smoother smoke.

Don't get a soil pH meter unless you plan to spend a hundred bucks or so. The cheap ones are worthless.

I don't flush, but in soil you can give plain water the last couple weeks if you want. And early harvested weed is better than no weed. My wife actually really likes the really early stuff. I've even picked a Sunset Sherbert at day 28 and she loved it.
