New Grower Finally after 5 year of waiting, decided it's time for a new Grow.

[Bob's Auto's]

Got a problem houston,
think it's a deficiency of some kind so I have top dressed with 25g of Silicium Flash and will water in with 2g Bactrex.
Here's some pictures.

This is the Northern Lights from Seedstockers, I think she is a big eater as she has never got any burnt tips and grown big.
What do you think @Bob's Auto's , do you also think I should give her your tonic as well, in a few days, when dry enough, or do you think the top dress will be enough.
She hasn't bulked up the buds much in over a week, but has been growing taller by the day.
I think the problem is at the early stage, just hope I catch it in time, so it doesn't get worse, as I can see a few leaves about to show a deficiency.

Looking at the first picture I'd say she's stretching like hell and looking very healthy indeed. I assume the other pictures are from the same lady? Looking at the pictures from before I agree, you went the right way with the Silicium Flash. Much of it are directly absorbable nutrients and there's also a lot of Silica in there which will aid in strengthening your plants.
I would start by not watering the plant until the soil is dry and start brewing tha tea 36 hours before you actually want to use it. In case you didn't bookmark the page, the recipe is here. Half an hour before you want to use it, take away 1 or 2L and set aside for a moment. Then add 1gr Bactrex and 2gr Mycotrex to the bucket, not to the 1 or 2L you set aside. Before use, dilute the mix by doubling the amount of water.

Now filter the liquid you set aside through a cheesecloth or if you don't have that a clean handkerchief. Add to this 5ml BoomBoom Spray per Liter and shake like a mad man!! You need to use this liquid within 4 hours, so you have time.

Now, who am I to tell you how to do something, but this is how I did it...Set everything within hands reach and take the dry pots outside the tent. Spray them first with the BoomBoom spray until they are dripping wet, don't forget to spray under their skirts as the underside is where the most pores are.
Put each pot into the tea until you see no more bubbles and then ever so slowly pull out the pots. Take your time doing this as the slower you do it, the better the soil's structure will remain. Let them drip and don't let them sit in their drippings. ie, put some sort of riser in the tray.
If you got one, put a heatmat under the pots, so the soil temperature sits around 20-25°C. This will help the bennies and myco to colonize the soil and start doing the heavy lifting once again.

@Don't Fear the Reefer, do you have hard water? This could be the source of to much Calcium. See below...

Could be mg def but also think it could be Mg lockout… Which seems effected more the uppers or lowers? Just a hunch looks similar to a issue I had going and MOG suggested mg lockout from too much ca

He could try and add 0.5gr Magnesium Sulphate to 2L of water and foliar feed with it. But he already added the Silicium flash so I wouldn't recommend adding anything more then the above mentioned recipe after a good drying out of the soil.

Thanks @Bob's Auto's , for such a detailed and thorough reply.
Unfortunately I can't use the Boom Boom Spray as I have another girl at over 60 days old and well into flower.
Also I'm not ready to start brewing teas just yet.
I have the Bio PK though, ready to use.
What do you think about using the Orgatrex mix you mentioned before?

My water is now classed as soft, used to be moderately soft.
The typical calcium is 16.1 mg Cal/l, Conductivity - 129 µS/cm
What do you think?

Yup, Orgatrex to complement the Bactrex and Mycotrex. You want as many of them in the soil.
That water is indeed classified as soft and not the culprit of any Calcium excess. I would wait adding any more nutrients until the Silicium Flash has done it's thing. Give it a couple of days. The dark spots will probably won't go away, but you should see a darkening of the leaves. Then when you thin them out, start with them ugly b!tc#es and go from there

Thanks very much @Bob's Auto's you're a star.

Hi @Bob's Auto's , it's only me again
Got a problem now with the Ravenberry, I think it's the same problem as the Northern Lights, but it could also be late life fade.
She is 62 days old. She is supposed to grow from seed to harvest in 70-80 days, so she is well on the way.
Is it too late to do a Silicium flash topdress?
Some pictures.

What do you think, too late for a topdress, should I instead give her 1g per litre of water of magnesium?

Don't want another rubbish grow

Since last night the inter-veinal yellowing has worsened on the lower leaves and also the buds haven't really progressed in the last 2 weeks, as far as I can tell.

Sounds like a too much of something problem.. maybe head over to the infirmary with pics and details to get some one more experienced looking at them

Thanks mate, just waiting, hoping for Bob to come on line later and offer his advice, as he is using the same nutrient line as me.

Sorry you guys, had to work late today and then and then...
I wouldn't give any more Silicium Flash to that plant. Two to three weeks to go, so you'll be alright. Let those leaves yellow a bit more before you remove them, the plant is pulling certain nutrients from the larger leaves to make the new ones. Is there an issue? Maybe, but you're not going to change that anytime soon. The nutrients are in the soil already.
I would give just plain dechlorinated water and maybe add 1gr Magnesium Sulphate/4L water, but don't overwater the soil. You can keep the mix for a couple of days, so. Better to water less, but more often then to much in one go.

Those buds will double in size over the next weeks. They are not finished swelling up brother, so don't worry about it
If you want to make sure the buds are swelling you need to take a picture every day from the same angle and vantage point. ie, use a tripod with a camera on it. If you do, you will see them expand every day. It's a very slow process, this ripening of the flowers

Thanks Bob, some great advice there.
