Water out of my hose is 75ppm. Have been adding 2ml calmag, which brings the tap plus calmag to 185. Light feed schedule for the nutes says add 2-3ml calmag and total ppm around 560

Believe me I'm no expert and I do soil grows and have a deep well in a limestone aquifer so your situation is different and I can only relate my experiences. After much searching for why my 1st grow was not doing well at all I found AFN. After listing all the info I could think of the concensous was to put my cal-mag on a shelf and switch to quality water.....saved that grow and done me well ever since.....since then it's been put in as few items as I can and it's a lot easier to figure out what's causing a problem....so I bought distilled until I could put in a undersink R/O system completely taking the water quality out of the variables. As a side note since then my wife was able to go from medicare to medicaid and she gets EBT now, which to my surprise bottled water can be purchased on it......so the Govment subsidized my grow for a bit, lol.
3 weeks. Plants starting to finally stand up and pray a bit the last 2 or 3 days. Hopefully because of the feed change. But newer growth looking a little better. Would have liked to get them into the autopots today but that's looking like later in the week or next weekend if they're still improving. The marathon og (last pic) is a total mutant with weird leaves and nothing symmetrical about it. Gonna let it grow for another week or 2 and see how it's growing. I'd rather not replace it, just so everybody's is on the same feed schedule but we'll see. I've grown some great flower from small mutant plants, but usually only a small amount of good flower from them. Will start bending them over and begin some lst probably tomorrow. Don't think I'm gonna top any of these since they're already a week behind what I'd like to see and I don't want to stunt them any longer. They all got some recharge today and seemed to react well too the lower calmag and lower pH. 5.6-6.0 this week. Hopefully they'll continue

Somewimes mutants can lead to interesting variations.
Got an extra top watering this morning with some soaked mosquito bits and into the autopots. 1ml calmag+, 4ml grow a and b, and 2.5ml slf100. Total 500-520ppm. pH 5.6-6.0. Rearranged plants so the bigger ones are easier to reach. 26 days and 22 days old
4 weeks... New growth looking better. The queens banner and makeda looking pretty good, the cannacheese is very sparse but looks ok, and the marathon og is weird with all 3 and 4 point leaves but new growth starting to look more normal. The Athena nutes seem very stable pH wise after initial adjustment. Been around 50-55%rh and keeping temp at 72
I've seen some pictures of some others online but nothing weird like mine. I know I overdid the calmag early but the other plants aren't mutants. The 1st single leaves grew crazy long, like 2in before it even attempted to grow anything new. Looking better the past few days. I'll grab a picture of the better looking new growth
Obviously not ideal but might come back. I had a Rocbud grape mints that was similar to this weirdness like a year ago, didn't put out a lot of weight but was great smoke and finished around when it was supposed to
