Mag problem I think

This is a Blue Dream from clone. I think it mag. Growing in 5 gallon roots organic with tap water phd to 6.5

Feeding Happy Frog 5-8-4 and a little bat guano right at flip (10-1-1) with EWC tea. Alto topping monthly with a tbsp of dolomite lime. I think I may need to hit with a little additional liquid cal/mag next watering. This one went through a big growth spurt after I flipped on 4/20

Thoughts?

The worst of it is the new growth up top, but it is throughout the plant. Also, the BD is a bit further from the light than the Blueberry auto and the Hazy OG. It could be that the Blue dream is much more sensitive, but I would expect it to be only on the top, and then not on the side that is a bit further from the light.

edit. Light is about 10-12" above the canopy in a cool tube.
 
Really, interesting since I have not fed them much. They only got the organic top dressing 3/31, 4/10 and 4/20
1 Tbsp of 5-8-4 and 1 Tbsp of 10-1-1 on 3/31 and 4/10
1Tbsp 5-8-4 and 1/2 Tbsp of 10-1-1 on 4/20 (the day I flipped)

They also got 2 toppings with 1Tbsp of dolomite

Extremely powerful, i placed 1 '' 1/2 layer at bottom of my buckets. It does help! just be careful.

to break it down on how i fed or what i fed. I would study the Genetics, as in Were it was evolved. Than once you know origin you have a foot into the door to know exactly what the plant wants. Each Strain comes ( If Naturally not sexed through cultivation by humans ) with a set of Needs from its origin.

So for instance, If it was a Middle Eastern Origin, That area has totally different nutes, temp, bugs. Nothing wrong with doing a bit of study on each strain!
 
Really just this weekend. You can see the starting of it Saturday in the lower leaves here:

They are in full stretch mode since I only flipped 9 days ago
 
For some reason my brain is telling me that its the bucket size, may be wrong. Just seems a little short for the bucket size. maybe the roots bounded before hitting bottom? thus creating really weird problems.

I agree the pot is on the small side go for the standard 3 us gallon(15 liter) ...bigger pot = bigger root = bigger plant = bigger buds
 
They are in 5 gallon smart pots. I try to do about 1 week for each week of veg (from clones). Plant is about 18" from soil to the tip. But this BD has stretched a lot more than the Hazy, it was expected since she is obviously more sat dominant.

I may just need to up the feed a bit and will add in some liquid cal/mag into the next feeding (probably a couple days). I will add my nutrients to my next tea and get a TDS reading.
 
Just a quick note I am also using roots organic soil and it has bat shit in it. You may be overdoing the shit. Literally.

Yes if its not the light it has to be root system issue, affecting the new growth.
 
Thanks, I will give it a good watering and measure the run off. If I am getting a big swing in PH I will flush the soil.
