Now that the ph is in a better range she looked much better this morning. Here’s a pic from last night showing the leaves with issues.

My seedsman order came today. They sent some extra blueberry auto seeds that wasn’t supposed to be included, more free seeds never hurt.

Free seeds are awesome!

what is your medium your growing in again?
have you given her a good healthy flush?
What is it again, that your feeding them?

Yes they are.
DWC... GH flora trio series or something like that. Changed the res out at 13 days and will do it every 7-10 going forward. That is I guess a flush in a way.

Update for the 12th: found she is doing much better since the PH issues have been fixed. I removed the 1st and 2nd nodes leaving the fan leaves.
Sorry for the color I usually try to turn off the burple led.

Update from today and couple days ago.... during the night for her (day for me) few days ago she had some more issues. Happens rather quickly when it does. I added more calmag and she is doing better. I had been giving 1/2 to 2/3 the recommended doses for calmag, but she is hungry for it. Going to have to increase it during next res change in a day or 2. New growth has been good and strong over last couple days.

Looks like you caught it early, good job.

Greenthumbs42019 · May 18, 2020

Update day 22 of veg, changed res out... ppm about 1050, ph 5.89. Took off 2nd node on both tops, going with flux again, so only need every other node with odd nbrs.

This girl is one finicky plant like you mentioned @Backlipslide. Seems every few days she has issue with magnesium (I think). Thoughts? @Pennywise
New growth seems good, then the older leaves have the issues.
Tied down some of the new growth.

Is your ph in range?

Greenthumbs42019 · May 21, 2020

I did increase the calmag to 3/4 or little more the recommended dose per gallon. Ph has been somewhat steady between 5.6-5.9. Sometimes drops down to 5.5/5.6 and I adjust back to about 5.9.

Pennywise · May 21, 2020

Let it go to 6.2-6.3 to make calcium more readily available.

Increased PH to 6.24, hope that helps. Though from what I read calcium deficiency affects new growth 1st. My issue appears on the older leaves not the new ones. But I’ll let her run with this for a while and see.
Also took some growth tips off of the smaller newer branches.

Lower growth is going to be magnesium

Greenthumbs42019 · May 21, 2020

Well after more reading that 5.8 is the ideal ph I put it back down to just under that.

N420 · May 21, 2020

5.8 is a good ph for Dwc to start. Let the ph rise up to 6.1-6.2 then adjust it back down to 5.8. Letting it drift like that will make all the different nutrients more available to the plant particularly Calcium and Magnesium. I have always gone in at full strength with Cal Mag based on what the manufacturer suggests for the age of the plant and it's always worked out well for me.

She seems to be doing better now, new growth is looking good. PH started to swing some, prior it hadn’t been. So put it at 6.0-6.1 and when I check on her again after 12 hours or so it’s down near 5.5-5.6, then I adjust it back up and she does it all over. Next feeding I’ll go with full strength calmag. Adjusting the tie downs and tip spreading every time I’m in there pretty much.

Res changed tonight, full strength calmag pushes the ppm a little higher than normally like it but she can handle it, ~1100 ppm, ph 5.8. It has been swinging up lately, to about 6.1.

Day 37 of veg she seems to be doing well. Do have some slight yellowing, almost lime green on a few leave tips. I think that means she’s hungry and wants more nutrients, thoughts???

2 pics of her as I opened up grow box this am:
