RO water should get you pretty damn close to 0ppm.

Everyone seems pretty happy. The AG were praying this morning. There doesn’t appear to be any more spotting - another day or two will tell.

I'm glad you caught it
Just curious, by the mixing instructions on your calmag, did you go with a light feeding or a heavy one?

I gave them 4 ml per gallon. The instructions on the bottle call for one tsp per gallon...per gallonI'm glad you caught it
So an 80% feeding. 
They'll relax and green up now!

I hope so!
All looking good, but those DCs really shine. Cheers

Agreed cr8! Lush says it all with those two. I defoliated 4 days ago & today they look like they did beforehand. I'd expected them to grow similarly based on breeder info (that I most likely misinterpreted) but that ain't the case. One of them is actually an inch or so taller than the AG. I'm hoping they stretch similarly. Flipping in 6 days...

I'm 99% sure that the spots on the AG in the 5 gal sip aren't spreading any further but I'm not so sure about the 10 gal. I've taken pics at the same spot on the plant for a couple days & I'll post those & one from tomorrow morning for comparison tomorrow. The leaves that are already spotted look uglier than when I first spotted it, but again, it doesn't seem to be spreading. I'm planning on flipping them in a few days but I'll wait if the new growth starts showing the same deficiencies. I definitely don't want to put them in flower if they're not healthy. I can move the DC & flower them separately if necessary, but I don't mind giving them a little extra time to grow. My preference it to flower them under the same light to save electricity, but I like having the option of flowering them separately. I probably have room for both of them in a 3'x3'x6' but I have two of those tents also, so I'm prepared to do whatever it takes! I really do have high hopes for this grow & if I have to nurse the AG along for a bit, so be it!
It's hard to judge at this point whether the soils made a difference in their health because of the difference in size.

Been there…all ended well. Cheers

My apologies to those waiting with bated breath for the comparison photos, but I decided on a different strategy. Since I'm so close to flower, I decided to pluck the affected leaves to eliminate the guesswork. If more spotting shows up in the next day or two, I'll separate them into their own spaces & try & get them healthy before I flower them..
Honestly, I'd feel confident flipping them tonight, but a few days of waiting will be a good exercise in patience. The only reason I want to wait is to make sure they're ready, but I'm really tempted to flip them now. The targeted flip date is six days from today. What do y'all think?
I would go with my gut feeling. CLMy apologies to those waiting with bated breath for the comparison photos, but I decided on a different strategy.

Beautiful even canopy! Only you know when it's time to flip, but looks like you have plenty of room!
