New Grower Hog's First Grow

To me that is still a little high in the tds/ec, I wouldn't give them any nutes for awhile, just ph'd water.
yeah i would just give some ph'd water for a day or 2 then check the runoff again
 
Thnx for the rep! My pleasure to have helped in a small part!

I plan on trying the NLS auto flower concentrate on my next grow, I have tried synth nutes several times and have not had a positive experience with them in a soil, but a living soil works fine for me.

Trying to figure out what i want to do next. Ideally I'd get a kit from BAS and make a huge batch of my own living soil for canna and veggies next year, but gotta be cheap next run. Might do BAS craft blend with Promix Premium Organic and run 5 3gal instead of 4 5gal. That plus the FOOP (only if/when needed) and mykos I've got left from this time and I could get it going for about $45. I know I could recycle this soil, and I might. But kind of feel like starting from scratch will help me problem solving when things go awry.

No change in the Muchachas, might be getting worse... just giving straight phd water. Forum Stomper looks like its deficiency has stopped getting worse and has had some noticeable bud growth. SNxPP is about the same, some bud growth think but Im having a hard time telling. The buds that are there look nice. Things aren't going well, but I'm packing in a lot of learning this first time through. If the Muchachas keep deteriorating i may chop one, let the other one fight it out so i can learn from it, and pop a couple new seeds.

Muchachas are in bad shape
So, I think I may need to start considering cutting my losses with the Muchachas and starting new seeds. 52 days in and they're not improving. Still yellow, I can't see any nee calyx development, and they seem to have stopped drinking... It would suck to chop them, but not a total loss as I've learned a lot from them. Not doing anything yet, just thinking the time, space, and energy could be better used if these won't amount to anything.

Shes still looking decent despite. You wont see buds forming for a few more days but its right around the corner. I would try to add some Epsom to your water and see what happens.

Day Temp: 82° Humidity: 61%

The Muchachas are hanging on. Gonna give them some Epsom salt with their water per @DDubs suggestion. They've definitely slowed way down drinking but are still reaching up for light, so I'll do my best to get them healthy again. The issue seemed to occur right when they went into flower.

I've started the Mephistos on FOOP bloom nutes. Forum Stomper was showing some sign of deficiency and SNxPP hadn't shown any noticeable bud growth for a couple days so I decided to see how they reacted to 1/3rd strength feeding. FS looks great and SNxPP has started stacking some more on its buds.

Not much change in the Muchachas. Forum Stomper is getting lighter green, not sure if it's a deficiency or just natural life cycle at this point. SNxPP is slowly packing on little s buds.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated
