Thx Squidy 
, no don't think we did cover cal-mag altho I had put in about a tablespoon of dolomite lime as top dressing the feed before this one, just in case, as was worried about the brown spots. I know it's slow release tho, so will add some epsom salts next couple of times as per your recommendation. Not sure on dosage tho, does half teaspoon per litre sound about right?
Thx too The Dude. I'm chuffed to nuts with the pics my phone takes, it's a Galaxy Note and does a great job :smoke:

Thx again Squidy
@ Greg, nope didn't want to top it in case she got stressed, so did some light lst instead.
I looked into bottled water instead of tap water, as mine's so alkaline and when I looked again at my water board's analysis calcium could be as low as zero mg per litre as we're in a soft water area. So I did some research, including a commissioned study of mineral waters compared to another UK water board's own water. Tesco's Ashbeck mineral water came out tops, with a labelled ph of 6.2 and study result ph of 6 and contained calcium and magnesium at 10 mg per litre and 2.5 mg per litre respectively.
Soil was fairly dry and she weighed light today, so watered her with the mineral water with 1 tsp per litre of epsom salts til it ran off. Pleased to say that the runoff tested at 6.5 ph as well :booya:
No pics in today's update because of the problem uploading to albums atm, will upload the ones I took later today if it gets fixed, but she has got greener than she was in places, altho a few of the yellow leaves have died/are dying off, but the buds are filling out nicely :thumbs:

Thx blinky.
No updates or pictures right now. My mum died last Tuesday morning, I'll never get the chance to see if I can make oil to help her, not that this grow would've yielded enough anyway.
I'll be back once we've had the funeral next week and everything's settled down a bit, I'm sure you guys will understand. See you then :smokebuds:
