Using a better camera now! Hope you all enjoy. (Day 44)

They look great

Thanks @Cat I'll be following those green poisons.

Looking very nice! If the burnt tips you're talking about or on those leaves down at the very bottom that are turning yellow? Then that burn happened a long time ago and you don't have to worry about it.

When those leaves get old they show every little injury an insult that they didn't show when they were young.

Hey jingo, I'll post some better pictures of the deficiencies when they wake up in half an hour. I know you don't really have to worry about the lower leaves turning yellow, but there are a few near the main cola that are yellowing with a bit of brown towards the edges. Also some of the leaf stems are turning red.

Just read through your log again... I'm not sure I'd be increasing nutes if they have burnt tips, that's usually a sign to back of with nutes

Thanks Cat, I'm just a bit confused because I'm seeing some burnt tips as well as some signs of deficiencies. Have you ran across this before?

You can have symptoms of deficiencies and the burn at the same time if your watering is off. Meaning you need to have some runoff every time you water and you can't let the plant re uptake that runoff. The other thing is in soil its best to water in a little bit wait, water in a little bit wait, water in a little bit and wait until you get a nice run off and then not let that run off reuptake.

Close ups of your concerns would help.

I water in exactly the same way as @jingo said, little at a time until 20% run off. I'm wondering if your feeding too many grow/bloom nutes and not enough calmag. I'm not sure if this is possible. Do you test the ppm of the water going in/coming out?

Thanks Jingo, I will try that from now on. I need to go grab a few trays for the pots in a bit. I'm also going to be switching back to organic nutrients, it seems nutrient availability is better in soil with organics. The top two are today (day 49) and the bottom three are day 47. I've been pruning the bottom leaves that become necrotic.
