DAY 20
Again, these pics don't do justice for showing the yellow leaves but things don't seem so well, believe me. Checking these pics I'm sure most of you'll think it'll be fine, but in most of these I'm sure those lower leaves will be lost soon. If I tune the nutes just right, the upper growth will be fine... but I may have stunned them for a few days.

See the yellow cotyledon in the last pic? The one to its right is almost as yellow but doesn't show here...
Things should have gone better by now but haven't. So I said fuck it, I'll increase the dosage to AN's suggested 2nd week, I got passed that point anyway...

Sensi Grow A: 56ml
Sensi Grow B: 55ml

That makes a total in the res:
Sensi Grow A: 242ml
Sensi Grow B: 241ml
B-52: 250ml
Voodoo Juice: 250ml

PPM: 680

That 680 sounds a bit terrifying but it's been almost 36hours and the girls are showing no sign of nute burn, so I guess they'll be fine. I'm now wondering at what stage I'll have to pluck those lower leaves off. Cuz at some point, I definitely will have to. I'll try to take better pictures of them sometime :)

Btw, all girls except 1 have sent their roots in the totes, like in day 15-16... But one of the early growers have some reddish substance on the roots. I'm sure some will immediately say it is root rot forming:

I was always afraid to see this kind of harm done before the chiller got installed. I hope I wasn't too late for that... and this, what you see above might be the stain of B-52. It has this exact same color. And if you check the inside of the buckets you can see the residue sticking to the walls:

So it is probably, HOPEFULLY, some b-52 sticking on the roots. I've felt them and they don't feel slimy at all, yet. I'll hold myself before taking any extreme measures for this now... do you guys have any idea?

And finally, I've raised the lights from 24 inches to 30 to make them stretch a bit more, and it felt like it might be too intense. Running them only in VEG mode currently, and in a few weeks (maybe next?) I'll switch the BLOOM on as well. Do you think I might need to raise even a bit more higher at that point?
