It was about 4 days ago that I posted the "weirdness" with my White Widow. Lots of you chimed in, and several made great suggestions. Many thanks for all of that.
@Padawan1972 @Prophetiko @NastyN8t @jingo @Dudeski Now here's what she looked like yesterday, day 23.

And for perspective, here 3 days earlier (day 20) and then a previous shot from 4 days before that (day 16).

I haven't killed her yet. And if I do, hopefully I'll learn something in the process. So I've checked soil pH. Its 6.6. I liked the idea that the Mephisto SuperSoil might be too strong for this "Seedsman" strain. So I ran 1.5 liters of RO water through as a flush -- thinking it might dilute the medium somewhat. I let her rest a day or so,then gave a tiny drink of RO water with a bit of ReCharge and Calmg. Today I raised the lights up higher from 22 to 24 inches, but since I'm still just running the monochromes on my Amare, I doubt that too much light was the issue. Tomorrow I'll water to full run-off, and test the PPM.
Anyway, as you can see, she continues to put out new growth that is deformed and bright yellow spreading out from the base/center. Over time I think the older leaves are actually losing some of the yellow, but they still set no record for health. I should also mention that her roots have clearly NOT developed well. I can tell because the cup stays wet and heavy in the bottom much longer than my other Solo Cup plant. Ok, that's it for now.
