Good question GDB! When it's dry so the water in the test will be almost entirely be the distilled you are adding.Conduct the test when the soil is wet or dry? It may not be intuitive.
Awesome collection, @HashGirl!
I keep switching my fav from one to the next, so I'll just keep it to myself.

I have seen a few older leaves with little teeny signs of nute burn...after reading this, I am thinking that it was always right before they needed a feed. Only 1 or 2 if that in a plant. I'm wondering if that was the case for me those few times, they were just hungry and searching! Thanks @HashGirl And @FelipeBlu BTW...just glorious stuff here HG
to my journal, Krissi. And, thank you for the compliment.
Of course!

*** Weekly Update ***
Good afternoon.
Things are coming along. The Carnival is almost done and I have trichome pics for her. The Jack Herers and Diesels are all in flower and stretching like crazy. The Dark Devils look pretty good overall but DDA1's leaves are starting to claw so I'm thinking that means too much nitrogen??? So, do I cut back on the amount of MegaCrop I'm feeding them?
I have lots of pics today so without further ado, here we go:
Carnival - Day 107 (+65):
Alpine Star CBD - Day 90 (+65) - Grown with just rain water:

And, finally, we have the flowering photoperiod plants:
DSL - Day 74 (+5):
JH1 - Day 105 (+9):
JH2 - Day 96 (+9):
SD - Day 94 (+9):
Group Photo - DDAs:
Group Photo - Photoperiods:
And, that's everything. I hope you enjoyed the photos and if you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to speak up.
Everything is looking great, especially the DDA2 which just looks like a regular plant! I don't see an N toxicity in DDA1 so I wouldn't back off the nutes. And are the JH's 9 days since flip or 9 days since pistils? If it's flip +9 that's incredible flowering for 9 days!

Here are better pics showing the curling from just now:
All the photoperiod plants were flipped to flower on September 29th. However, I'm counting my flower date from when pistils first appeared approximately 10 days ago.
...everything looking great HG... 
...DDA's are so much better this go round, and my trimming hand just cramped up looking at the carnival... 
...every grow is looking better and better...good job...cheerz...

Oh gotcha! N toxicity shows with a downward claw at the tip of the plant rather than the upward curl with yours. That curl looks like it might be heat/light related though the blotching on the leaves indicated the plant's not happy about something. Could be a potassium deficiency so a bump in the MC might fix it. Of course it might be hard to diagnose since many DDAs look unhappy from pistils to harvest and still produce nice flowers.
Okay thanks, so about 20 days post-flip. I'm looking forward to seeing those on my JH since I will be flipping in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks, h00k. The DDAs do look better this round and they're a lot taller, too but DDA1 was beautiful a week ago and now not so much so I'm hoping the same thing doesn't happen to the others.
The leaf curl started after I bumped MC to 5.25g/gal. so you don't think it's related? I did move the light up a bit just in case.
Thank you, dynamo. I just might be getting the hang of them.
A plant in flower will have a higher demand for K, so although it may be too much at 5.25, it may also not have been enough! Tough to tell, particularly with a plant as weird as a DDA.
Did you bump it from 5 to 5.25? That's not much of an increase unless it was already on the high end of happy at 5. You could try going down to 4.75 with a lot of runoff and then bring it back up to 5 with the next watering and see if it looks happier. Though I would say those damaged leaves won't recover.

Looking good Hashgirl! Only an aesthetician would care about those leaves....I would drop a touch if I were you but it may be futile. Like Shed said, those leaves are gone and you still have a fantastic plant

Yes, I bumped from 5g to 5.25g based on Felipe's advice here.
Given that Dark Devils are more sensitive to nutes especially nitrogen, I think I'll definitely reduce the nutes on their next watering and see if that helps.
