All good here my friend. but this is the worst season yet for me. I’ll have a few to harvest but not what expected. But there’s always next time. 
I don't know about the nute issue mid-grow but I'm losing track of the number of growers that have had problems after switching to QBs in the middle of the grow. All that new white light makes the plant change in ways that are difficult to predict or get a hold of, so don't think it's just you. And don't toss the boards. Next grow the plants will start and finish under the same light and you'll be golden.
Switching nutes mid-grow also introduces unknown variables which you can end up chasing. Stick with the GH and if you want to change do it from day one.
What I've seen with QB's is you need to increase nutrients just a little for most plants.

Things are looking (almost) lovely in that grow room 
. Have you considered painting the walls white?

though QB is mostly white lights, but they are still leds, so possiblely will still like other LEDs , you need to add more cal and mag?

I believe you are right after my plant studies last night me and the wife came to that same conclusion.

Im going to up cal mag to 2.5 ml per gall also I was reading up on dynagrow and they say I can use the pro Tec as a ph up. Now this is the first grow I have hade to use up. Every day I use up general hydroponic was using down but maybe with the amount of nutrients thet the tangerine is using If I ph her with the pro Tec that’s a full nutrients it will offset the amount of ro water added to my Rez to top of who’ll still adding the nutrients back. Hum. Maybe that will work. Or it will just raise the ppm and kill them off 
Armor Si raises pH as well. I think it's the way they have to make it to keep the silica in solution that causes it but I may be remembering that wrong. Either way, it's def a pH upper!

I agree with that statement about armor si being a ph up. But my issue with that is if armor si should be used first due to it being a sillica how does it react to a complete nutrients bucket. Wouldn’t that create a lockout of a sort. But also same with the pro Tec it’s a sillica also. And they suggest using it as a up. But makes sense. The ph shouldn’t raise or lower unless there is nutrients being used. Lockout raises ph and ppm and usage lowers. Ph due to the plant using up the trace material I’m going to try the pro Tech as a ph up for this week. We will see how they react. Should be ok the tangerine is drinking a lot of nutrients. It should keep her on point. Or I’ll just start twice a week bucket changes. I did that for the Brooklyn. And she loves me for it.
That Brooklyn loved you for sure! I don't use silica as a pH up (especially since my water starts out in the mid 7s anyway) but I haven't found that adding it first creates any trouble when the nutes are all in. I just mix it well before I start with the rest of the nutes...with cal/mag coming second.
Of course, I'm not in DWC. But I'm sure loads of hydro growers are adding silica to their reservoirs.

That’s the proper mixing method. Ph was sat at 6 last night with a fresh bucket this morning it was 5.9 11 hours later it was 5 and a 1/4 gallon lower so I toped her off and gave her ph up. The 2 week old lsd is flowering also now Could it be the qb being turned like 3/4 way up. Is just to powerful for the little guys making Them bloom

Hope the adjustments will help the plants recover soon.

They look happy to me Ice. With the Qb's i add a bit of cal mag on occasion. Think i am under nuting again. What's up with the leaf tip curl i am having on my Golden Tiger?

Thanks granddaddy I agree they do look pretty good but not what I’m used to the other two plants should be as big as the tangerine. But I’m happy at the moment. Lol. My blueberry bliss is super stalled it’s bin 3 weeks and she still isn’t showing roots from my plug. But she’s growing. Things are just a bit crazy and this grow. But still learning as I go
