Then on day 38, I return home and find this:

So I start panicking a tiny little bit lol. I've been suspecting a N deficiency while I was gone but thought I could get home and get on top of it before it got bad. Well i was wrong. First thing I do is mix up 14tbs per gal of Worm Castings with 1 tbsp er gall of 4-4-4 All Purpose for an emergency top dress feeding. Once that is given with some water, I start brewing a compost tea with the remaining half 5 gal watering pail. About 24hrs later the plants we dry enough to take some water so I gave them the tea. By day 41 I was pretty happy with the yellowing seeming to stop. I got rid of the yellow leaves and snapped a pic:

Now we get to current day, day 45.

So the plants have been doing amazing. My Double Grape #1 has made a massive comeback from her yellowing, and what i believed to be stunted, youth. She is now 30.5" tall and the tallest girl of the bunch. She didn't get any LST throughout the grow since i didn't want to stress her more than she was. She also hot flower later than her sisters but seems in good health. Almost like time froze for her:

Then we got Double Grape #2 who has just been a star this entire time:

Last but not least is Double Grape #3. She's kept pace in development with DG2, just shorter:

Next on the schedule is some compost tea (it's brewing right now) at the next watering. Then will be top dressing with Castings and Power Bloom 2-8-4 only. That will probably be around day 49. I also have a Crème de la Chem doing great in this tent that I will post on update in this same Discussion thread on another day. She was planted in a hotter mix so no N deficiency for her. She's gonna be a monster!
