Plants seem to be constantly improving from the earlier deficiency scare.
Just to recap, it was the Perfect Storm of their sensitivities and borderline fetish for having temps on the high side, humidity on the low side, and little [if any] air circulation.
It screwed with transpiration rates, nutrient transportation, and general wellbeing.
A quick trip to the infirmary, with an accurate diagnosis from Dr @pop22 and Dr @Waira - the resultant addition of Micros and CalMag to the mix has seen measurable improvement in their condition.
They can now tolerate temps and humidity where I prefer them, and no longer sulk if the elements aren't bordering on extreme and masochistic.
Thankfully, air circulation is also being tolerated.
The girls also seem to have taken to their en masse topping without blinking a budsite.
Everything appears to be going according to plan, and its only a matter of days before the decision of precisely when to flip will be the focus.
I'm looking at Day 50, tentatively, although Day 56 has a nice feel to it; 8 weeks of veg to mirror the 8 weeks of anticipated flowering time.
For the record, I am LOVING the [HASHTAG]#Autopots[/HASHTAG]
More specifically, I am loving not having to handwater.
Airdomes seem to be doing their thing, but to be honest, I don't have anything to compare it with.
I'm not sure how the girls would look if the airdomes weren't in the system.
Enough blah blah - time for the pics to do the talking.
Various snapshots showing general condition, structure and topping.

mo' bettah, brudda, these girls are phaa-aaat! The Autopots and the extra love have them exploding now
... I'll post up the Sick Bay response here too, just for educational purp's!
....brown eye winkin' at yeh Yoz'! 
-- niiiiice! Much better mate, well done- 
..... this my friend, is why I tout foliar spraying, especially when in veg'! You bypass the whole root/res'/pot route and associated problems, plus get direct injection speedy results! Then you can tinker with just maintenance in nutes,... but you need to have right tools and technique for the job! I personally always keep a micronute supp and Ca-Mg around for this reason; I like Earth Juice Microblast best, broad coverage on micro's, mostly sulfate based (S is a secondary nute, really important for bloom.terps, like K), chelated for ready uptake,.. a wetting agent (Coco-Wet is bomb) is critical for good foliar, as is spraying tops and bottoms of leaves (more stomata there than topside)..... The ultimate though is 
... ( I did a showcase review on this, it's buried toward the back)... Transport allows temporary penetration through the cuticle layer, so whatever you add to it, gets hauled right on into the "business zone"- 
... no need for wetting agent or even spraying the undersides!
Cheers Yoz, these girls look very nice indeed! I saw your thread earlier, and am stoked to hear your tender diddlings has seen these Diva's into better fettle!
