Thanks for taking a look by the way.

Ok, just took a quick peek and snapped another photo. Had a vape and now ready to go 
Regarding epson salt and cal mag sup/nutes, I only added 1/4 strength of cal mag+. I'm also using tap water. Ec is very low, like 15/20.
I ran without it the first two waterings before adding 1/4 strength. I water twice daily. 2 mins. Recirculating system. Water change every 10 days or so. It's now been 4-5 days since res water cleaned and refreshed.
Any more info please ask,

The only thing I can think of, since it is only affecting the top leave right now, is a sulfur deficiency.
I might be wrong, but other deficiencies tend to affect more than one area of the plant.
And I'll add this, one thing that has helped me tons, is Silica. I highly recommend getting a silica additive for your grow, is gives you stronger/healthier stems and leaves, as well as providing a buffer against mineral toxicity, stress, heat, etc..
Basically it works as a PH up, and a second line of defense for you girls.

Have been reading a lot about silica and added it last week at 1/2 strength.
Also added some epson salt to that plant only. That should help.
Dropped the ph to 5.6 yesterday to mix it up a bit. This morning after after three 2min waterings the ph was back to 5.9. Funny thing is that's where it stays most stable. Good thing in a way I guess.
Thanks for your help brother

She will not be denied her place in the tent, that's for sure. Looks to be returning. Still adding a little calmag+ here and there.
Thanks for checking in man.

just keep up the TLC and she'll make you happy.
My pineapple chunk looked like she wasn't going to make it past 2 weeks old, and I was ready to toss her.
But everyone here told me to hold tight, and sure as hell she rebounded in a few days.

update time.
ok so today is 23/12/14 day 69. Day 15 of 12/12.
plants have stretched considerable since flipping. at least double in height.
still feed 6/9 formula with silica.
the under growth below the canopy is dying. i hope that's due to lack of light and nothing else. any feed back on this would be great.
anyhow i wish everyone a merry Christmas and a safe new year. happy holidays for the rest.
undergrowth looking sad. hope its not bad news. no signs of flies or bugs.

Most of the time, the plant will get rid of leaves that aren't serving a real purpose. I would suggest doing a light defoliation.
Cut a few leaves/thin leggy branches from each plant over the course of a few days to prevent any stunted growth or shock.
Getting rid of those leaves/branches that aren't collecting light and just wasting the plants energy, will increase your top growth, and energy available for flowering.
That being said, your garden continues to look excellent my friend! Wishing you and yours the best the holiday season!

looking great man, hope you enjoyed the holidays as well!
The stretch should continue for the next 7-10 days then level off, so the next week and a half is gonna require a lot of training.
Noticed a huge difference in watering/feed requirements as of yet?
looks like you got the undergrowth cleaned up real nice too, don't see anymore dead/dying stuff, thats awesome man!

10/01/15 day 87. day 33 of 12/12 (photos taken.)
PH 5.7
EC 1.7
H 50-65%
nutes.
dropped half of the micro, upped the bloom to 12 and added PK 13/14 (hence ec rise to 1.7 )
had to add water to drop ec back to 1.4 as it look like they didn't enjoy my mix. today there responding much better.
next res change ill go only half micro and 12ml/g of the bloom no pk13/14.
cleaned a lot more foliage and supper cropped one of the OG Kush branches has it was getting burnt.
White widow bud hairs are turning brown early. have looked for female or Hermes and no sacks to be found. i think it may have been due to the high temps.
