Hey Panhead,
Sorry it took me a couple of days to report in but here's the latest pics and update.
I've given her 2 foilage feedings with the 30% ratio, 6.7 ph water and 1 rinsing usin 6.7 ph reg. bottle water since the last time you told me to do so, so this makes it the third day. These pics are from yesterday after I rinsed the first nute application off. I'll post the pics from today later on tonight when she wakes up. My light schedules have been wacky lately because I've been a little busy but she is getting at least 16 hrs of light and 6-8 hrs of sleep. I'll get her back on a steady 18-6 schedule today. So far the plant seems to be recuperating well but I'll let you be the judge of that. Have a great day my friend and the same to all the members here who have been kind enough to lend a comment here and there...Thank you all!
Cool,im glad to hear & see its comming together,im hearing something very bad when you say "your light schedules are whacky",this is not good mt friend,in fact it is very very bad,plants that are not on a very strict schedule are very prone to turn hermaphrodite,what this means is that the plant may start out as a female,then after having its lighting routine all screwed up it can now start growing male parts (pollen sacks),this is not desired,once the plant has both sex organs the male parts will pollinate the female parts.
The more pollen that reaches the female pistils the more the plant will turn its efforts away from bud production & focus on seed production,again not good.
In nature a seedless bud (sensimellia,meaning "without seed") is made up of thousands of sticky hairs called "pistils",the job of these hairs is to catch any pollen that comes along,even when the buds are huge & sticky they can & will catch pollen,the earlier in the budding process they are pollinated the less bud they will produce & the more seeds they will make,the thing is that this is not a win win situation,the seeds that come from a self polinating hermaphrodite are not desired,a large percentage will become hermaphrodites,another large number will not germinate & the rest will be all males.
Another thing,if you get a male plant right from the start it will not produce seeds,a male marijuans plants fuction is just like a mans which is to donate sperm,in the case of the plants its pollen,this pollen needs to be caught by a female marijuana plant in its pistils,remember the sticky hairs that buds are made up of,once a female catches the pollen from the male it then turns all its energy into seed production,it takes both male & female plants to make seeds.
If you do end up with a male you'll know,once the plant becomes sexually mature it will show its sex,or after the plant reaches its 5th set of nodes you can force sex,the male can be determined by the pollen sacks,picture a bunch of bananas on the vine,yes regular old bananas that we all eat,now picture a very small version of the banana bvunch,hanging from the plant,this is what a male will produce,if you let it live long enough for the pollen sacks to burst open & spread its pollen the entire grow room will be tainted,pollen is hard to remove once its in the grow op.
Please go to the hardware store & buy a "heavy dut appliance timer" like this model,light duty or regular duty timers are no good as often they overload & burn out,a good timer should cost $20 or less,stay away from digital timers & keep it simple with push tab timers like this model.
Having the light on a rigid schedule is of extreme importance.
Here is what a timer looks like,this is an excellent model only you need the heavy duty version.

BTW,blade count on leaves only means the plant is growing older,as the plant matures it will grow more blades on its leaves,it goes in multiples of 2 most of the time & in odd numbers of blades,the plant will produce,7, 9 & 11 bladed leaves the older/larger it gets,this allows the plant to collect more sunlight & convert into energy to builds itself with.

,this is very dangerous my friend,not only to the people who read these threads but equally dangerous to your own grow op,i never said mg nutes were the best only that they work well if used properly,by reading what others say, then taking it as gospel will lead you down all the most expensive paths in this hobby,it leads to fox farm soil,magic sauce mixtures & $50 a quart fertilizers.
