growing some nice buds for yourself HG!
Gotta be happy with these after the DDA grow. That's a tough strain to start with! Looking good.
Is it always raining where you are or it that just the windows that make it look that way?

We have had some rain but it's probably just the angle of the window through the plant or something.
Also, for this grow, I've been upping the Mega Crop on your say-so. How do you know when to up it?
Right now I think you're at 5.7g/gallon (if my math is correct) so unless you are seeing the leaves complaining I don't see any reason to bump it up. Cal-mag is more for a deficiency that would look like brown spots on the leaves rather than yellowing though. With MC we usually bump the feeding amount first rather than supplement with something additional.
I don't see anything particularly concerning other than some leaves on the GSC2 with the browning on the edges. Given that the other GSC looks good I'm not sure I would try to correct that at this point.

WEEKLY UPDATE
I'm still fertigating at 15g of MC to 10L. Each plant took 2L. Here are the photos:

Nice to see the sun out there

Just curious but do you know approximately when they'll be done?
One thing I can tell you is not all at once! CBD2 looks to be the furthest out of those three from the white pistils, and the same for GSC2. No reason not to get a loupe and take a look at all of them now for the same price though.
You go HashGirl
Current plants are looking great, I love this pic below! Nice family.
With timing, I look at the breeders estimations and count the days/weeks from pistils appearing in the tops. when it’s about 10days out from that projected date, I start looking at all the things I wrote about recently - including trichomes but also general look and smell and if the ‘thirst’ is diminishing.
You‘ll read it right when the time comes. How many weeks into flower are they now?
The bud is at peak potency when the maximum number of trichome heads on its flowers are milky/cloudy.
Or did you mean know ahead of time? Assuming you wait to change the lighting schedule until the plant is sexually mature, and then don't screw with the lighting (change hours of uninterrupted darkness to lesser or greater than 12, add/remove lights, change spectrum) during the flowering period, don't make any changes to the root zone area, don't do anything to artificially manipulate the stretch via chemicals/hormones or temperature... the 40:60 rule works with most strains - so you can count the number of days in the flowering stretch and multiply that number by 1.5 to calculate the approximate remainder of the flowering period. See:
CannaStats - The 40/60 Phenomena
The 40/60 Phenomena allow growers, who have no previous knowledge of the cannabis strain being grown, to predict the strain's flowering time based on observation.

Aren't pistils the white and orange hair-like part of the flower like this one here. If this is correct, I have no idea when they first appeared. I didn't know to track that.
They're almost 8 weeks into flower. (55 days)
That is so cool. Thank you, TS, I will give it a read.

Most of the information on that website was compiled years ago (the copyright notice states "1997" for the first year) - there's even an article on upgrading a Phototron

I assume it's okay to post that; it's not a cannabis forum, and there are no sp*nsors in competition to the ones that advertise here. And I've posted it a few times over the past 11 years, so...
And now you do!
I’m not sure about that thing TS is talking about. That would mean if a plant only stretched for 2weeks, then it’d be ready in another 3. That’s a 5 week flower
Seems a risky calculation too seeing as other factors than genetics can inhibit stretch. I thought my recent post about harvesting - which was inspired in part by your questions at the time - covered most of the technical elements that growers around here talk about as well as the pure instinct and connection to each plant aspects. I think growing is alchemical, spiritual and practical .i dropped back in to link it
in the text above. Just in case you forgot it was there 
What strain have you grown that has a (natural) stretch phase of only two weeks? Least I ever observed was (IIRC) 20 days. I don't recall what strain it was; long time back and all that, some kind of indica. I do remember that the longest stretch I ever loved to hate saw was just over eight weeks, and that was one of the two Nevil's Haze mothers I had - a whispy, viny, sadomasochistic %*@# that I wish I had right now. It wasn't exactly devastating, but you could roll a joint, light it... and end up lost (trying to remember whether you'd walked to wherever you were or driven), with half the unsmoked joint forgotten, in your hand. Didn't so much expand your mind as diffuse it across several acres .
I listed several "artificial stretch period length modifiers." Feel free to add more.
