I'm caught up & sub'd up.
IMPORTANT: Now that you're using R/O water, you should be adding Cal-Mag or you will show those deficiencies!
Also, once you PH adjust a solution, the PH will drift over time. The larger the amount of solution, the less drift (or more time), so a larger reservior/container will always be more stable than a smaller over time.

I decided I would start doing 5 gallons at a time, put a blister on my left finger from shaking gallon jugs lol. Should be easier than trying to ph 1 gallon at a time.I'm caught up & sub'd up.

All caught up......yeah like Mr Krip said, with RO it strips out all the minerals and nutrients that are found in tap water so Cal Mag is definitely warranted. Get that Ca issue handled and the garden will be back on track. Looking great otherwise.

Add calmag by manufacturer recommended strength or more because of the deficiency
Recommended strength...I think it's something like 5ml/gal

Open question
How long do I let auto flower plants before harvesting, I have 1 that looks like to me, it's good to go at 10 weeks, I think I let my first grow go too long but after the great nutrient burn it was hard to tell.

Don't even ask how many hundreds of pictures I had to scroll through in my gallery to find that!

Yeah I would start with the recommended strength listed on the bottle and go from there. See if the plants show you any signs of being happy or angry. Most things in a bottle I would recommend you starting at half strength.....however CalMag is one of the few that I think you can safely start at the recommended dose and possibly move up (especially if you are growing under LEDs)

i went ahead and watered them with about a quart apiece and 7.5 ml of cal mag today. they just kept looking worse, i did hear that you can't overdose them with cal mag. i looked at the 1 plant i thought was ready for harvest with a jewelers loop and they were clear. going to keep an eye on them.

Photos of trichomes in the flower tent, any recommendations?
That's with a loop here is with my phone.

I see, very few clear and mostly cloudy with very few amber.. you’ve probably got a week or two left

Week 11 update, mildew issue gone for now, cal mag issue I'm working on, watered with cal mag only today, ph at 6.4, week 1,the 6 TWA are up and running and the 2 photos are stretching, a couple quick photos.
Looking good Mojuan, i'm sure you're near to harvest now 
Great to see you've got the next batch ready to rock!

That looks like a severe cal mag deficiency to me-I think that may be your whole problem.
Maybe @Emilya or @SweetSue could take a quick look to confirm?
In the meantime,I'd stop spraying anything on them until you get a handle on this issue-if you are treating it with calmag,you may have to adjust the dosage a little higher.
