Yeah. Mine definitely doesn't like sharing.
It seems to be very light on nutrient needs, but needs a lot of cal/mag
My next run might be 4 x 4AM, so I will be able to tell better then.
Although... it may be Megacrop that doesn't agree with 4AM. I wonder if anyone else has grown 4AM with Megacrop???

Yeh, my 4AM showed calmag def on day 17, despite initial soil amendments of dolomite and silicum. She was the only one of the 4 who did. I gave her immediate top-feed dose of calmag, which seemed to stop further appearance. The reservoir was activated later, and so far, it's always included calmg at 1 mg per ltr. So the canoeing started later --- once she was on the reservoir with MegaCrop at 1 gram / liter.

Day 24 for my Forgotten cookies. A little dissapointed so far by my first go at biotabs. She looks healthy (if a little dark) but has stayed small with little branching.

Its the 30-Day mark for this GOTY Leg. Guess it's time to pick my final contestant. Here's my gals this morning. Left to right: Gold Glue on day 29, 4-Assed Monkey and Grape Walker Kush on day 34. Tough decision, I've developed an appreciation of each.

Gold Glue, although the youngest, is the fullest and most vigorous. But she's showing no sign of flower development yet. So I can't take a chance. She's out. Here's a parting view:

Then there's 4-Assed Monkey. She is the "fastest" of the 3 and has responded well to double-topping and strong LST. But ... she's had cupping / canoeing of her leaves and I can't seem to get that fully under control. So she's out. Say good-bye Monkey:

That leaves Grape Walker Kush. She's also responded well to double-topping and LST, She has nice flower development. And she has no health issues. She's in. We'll go forward from here with Grape Walker Kush:

Hey, bro. Some very savvy & experienced growers here use Bloom nutes throughout the entire grow. My assumption is that at your point, the GSCs will do better on the Bloom nutes, than your flowering girl will be keeping her on veg nutes. But, like you say, top feeding the bloomer by herself for a couple of weeks is a viable option --- everybody gets what might be most optimal, except for the extra time & effort on your part.

thanks pal i used to use the lucas formula so floranova bloom from the off when i first stated i dont want to top feed so i may just wait till my res is empty and start flower nutes the gsc girls will be 5 weeks old in 5 days i just needed a bit of friendly advise from the awesome community here
