hey Beez, calmag, 150ppm per week. Like the crew above said, let them dry out, it wont hurt them. Like almost bone dry. It will dry out any rot, and promote new root growth.

Girl Scout Cookies Update for day 46 post sprout
Seeds sponsored by @Weed Seeds Express
Okay, so although I haven't been here in a week I haven't been neglectful of the plants. Just the opposite. I have been experimenting with the @Prescription Blend nutrients a little here and a little there and feel fairly confident I can make it work. I will go into some more detail about the nutrients below the photos.
But besides that the girls have all been up-potted into what are going to be their forever 3 gallon plastic homes. AND they have been relocated into the 3x3x6' tent and are now under one of the other stars of this grow the @Mars Hydro FC-4800 light. I have located the driver outside the tent to help with heat. Currently the light is set at 50% of capacity and the bars of the light are cool to the touch and the driver is barely warm. I'm actually really amazed and look forward to seeing how warm/hot both components get with the light turned up to full strength. Now I've never had a fancy light like this one with a dimmer and it's more powerful then my other lights. In your opinion guys at what capacity should I be running this light with the plants under it for only their second day?
Now keep in mind the plants were just up-potted yesterday but if you look back on the last pictures and compare them to these I think you'll see quite a difference. Better color, they're standing up stronger, and just have a more positive appearance. And the FC-4800 light is awesome. Time for a few photos.
If you look at the last photo you can see spots on the bottom fan leaves. I was reliving my worst nightmare thinking it was going to turn out to be Hemp Russet Mites but thank the good Lord it was only a Cal-Mag deficiency. So after raising the dosage of Core B from 10ml to 11ml, and increasing the Kelp-Ful from 5ml to 6ml I began to see the color coming back into their cheeks, the green began to darken. When I watered them next 4 days ago I raised the dosage of Core B from 11ml to 12ml and the Kelp-Ful from 6ml to 7ml. And as much as I hated doing it I added 5ml of Cal-Mag to the mix. Just two days later which was two days ago I saw a noticeable change in the overall appearance of the plants. I up-potted yesterday and wet the new medium to help draw the roots outward. And that's where I am right now. I feel like the plants were not getting enough nitrogen but not off by much. And that could be strain specific. The Kelp-Ful I bumped because well it's good stuff that the plants love. I'll be watching the leaves closely making sure I am not seeing any more spots I would attribute to calcium deficiency.
That wraps it up for today. Hopefully when I post next all four girls will be stretching towards the Mars Hydro FC-4800 light.

You certainly have made progress with them in your week away...they look much improved! 
Tent looks bright and ready for action, and without a lux meter, I would leave the light where it is and lower it 2" a day until you see the leaves get pissy and then back it up to where they were happy.

Day 48 Update on the Girl Scout Cookies plants from Weed Seed Express
Just a quick update with new pictures.
Just a quick update with new pictures.
Has the Ca deficiency stopped spreading since the addition of cal-mag? And what week formula are you on for the Rx Blend (or are you winging it with your changes)?
Don't forget that stronger lights often cause higher demand for cal-mag.

The spotting seems to have stopped although I do see a spot here and a spot there on two of the other plants. Not winging it with the nutrients. I've upped the Core B and Kelp-Ful while everything else is following the chart. They should be getting 10ml each Core A and B and 5ml each of the other three nutrients. I'm thinking week 5 maybe without looking.

That light is only at 50% of full power.
It's not about what power it is, it's about how much the lux got bumped!

yeah, that light is no joke. Need a lux reading if you can.
