Considering I am day 30 from sprout and am happy for them to finish a bit early for home inspection reasons anyway..i am thinking about flushing all of them with straight RO water, then introducing Bio PK from Biotabs for flowering and from now stop adding calmag to my water at all...

does this seem a reasonable idea? maybe test this on one plant and see how it goes first? ok here goes...

EDIT: mini flushed the girl looking most like nutrient lockout with about 12-15L of water. added some Bio Pk flowering nutes to finish off. Run off PH was between 6-6.5PH and ppm started between 3000-3500 and finished about 1250 before i added the Bio PK. will see how she goes, as well as other plants and then consider further action...

Still think the little white squigglies look like thrips, but I'm in thrip mode right now. You smack the leaves over white paper? That or water/nute spots.

I don't know anything about biotabs, but all these changes === stress. Flushing soil isn't ideal. Chemical salts in organics isn't ideal. If anything, you may have a little magnesium def. Try foliar feeding water+epsom salts. More microbes, whether it's recharge or AACT or a layer of EWC or compost or....

Yes. Didn't catch anything on the paper I think. My eyes are not the best..gave a foliar of neem, spino and beauveria bassana just in case was a pest cos i agree those silvery spit patches seemed accurate. I prob have a range of problems going on, but thrips is one that with one more foliar today and they should be virtually gone...if they were even there.

agree about all the changes causing stress, this is why i thought it best to flush just 1 gal and see how she goes vs the others...
