Mephisto Genetics 4 Assed Monkey, RDWC, COBs and MegaCrop

[Boradan]

Day 17 UPDATE:
The proverbial poo hit the proverbial fan with failures of BOTH my pH pen and my ppm pen - that's what I get for using Fleabay and cheaping out on them I suppose
Lesson learned (maybe)
My ppm was reading 150-300 too low (and was changing by a LOT every reading on the EC calibration solution).
My res pH was at 6.5 instead of 5.8 ...
System has been flushed and things are starting to look a touch better. Not 100% yet, but definitely an improvement.

As you can see, the Lady is too dark in colour and the leaves are clawing/drooping still, but it's a slight improvement from a few days ago.

DAY 20 UPDATE:

Definite signs of improvement:

Still some Clawing present and the top leaves are still a touch too dark, so I have been adding pH'ed water to the reservoir to drop the nutrient concentration slightly.
I will get there in the end...

The lady also got topped today:

Day 30 Update:
The lady is still not enjoying life.
In addition to the leaf droop & Nitrogen Toxicity, she has now developed (rapidly) a serious calmag issue.
Nutrients have been dropped further, and remo Magnifical has been increased.

Lets see if she recovers from this lot

Day 36 Update
Things are looking MUCH better.
The leaf droop has been greatly reduced, the calmag issue has been knocked out of her and the N Tox is also vastly reduced - it is still there, but only on a few leaves, and even those only have it on one finger of the leaf.

She is still the smallest of the ladies by far, but hopefully she has merely been slowed and not stunted by the overfeeding.

Day 42 Update
Having to run a balancing act here with this one.
Cal/mag issues returned, so I increased the amount.
Unfortunately, it also has quite a bit of N, so the N Tox rears it's head again.
I may drop the MegaCrop feed amount slightly and add a PK booster to try and alleviate this.
pH 6.2
Humidity 62%
Water temp 20.5C
Air temp 24.5C
ppm 580 EC 1.1

Day 45 Update.
Going along nicely now.
Did a full reservoir change yesterday and went with the following feed:

60L Tap water (200 ppm)
50g Mega Crop
20ml Remo Magnifical
20ml Remo Astro Flower
Atamai Ataclean
Water Surfactant

Now sitting at 700ppm and 5.9pH
This girl may suffer from N tox again due to the increase in feed, but she is just going to have to buckle up and take it - I don't want to hold the other 3 back trying to coax this one.
She is definitely looking a LOT healthier than she has done, so I am getting somewhere...

Looks better. But looks behind for day 45. No pistils yet right? i can't see any in the picture. Might have taken a bit of a hit from the topping and earlier issues. I have plants that slowed right down from topping too. Using Mega Crop.

Pistils are there - just not a great picture to see them in.
I think it's more the overfeeding/calmag issues from earlier that have slowed it.
It is only about 1 week behind the other ladies and one of THOSE (Northern Lights) just showed pistils yesterday, so it's ahead of that one. Nowhere near it in size though.
Not necessarily a bad thing as the tent is pretty damned full now.
THis lady is front left.

DAY 48 UPDATE:
Coming along nicely now and starting to hit her stride.
Still a lot smaller though, but not worried about that - all my own fault anyways because of the overfeeding initially.
pH 6.0
ppm 730
RH 55-60%
Water: 19.5C
Air 19C-24C (lights off/on)

She is getting some minor leaf tucking and LST at the minute and had about 4 leaves removed. Hopefully not enough damage to slow her any more.
