Backing off from the silica/calmag addition, at least for now. I just couldn't keep the silica from precipitating, no matter how I mixed things, so about the only benefit I was getting from it was an increase in pH. Thus I've been flirting with the mag lockout line, and a leaf here and there supports that observation.
Mostly on my Auto Lemon Drop (Super Lemon Haze) and only a couple of fans were showing. It was starting to creep a tick on a leaf of the blue dream'matic though, so with this mornings breakfast I skipped the silica, but kept a little bit of additional calmag in there. May do that again with the next, and then be off the wagon and back to just straight MC.
For breakfast this morning I mixed up 5.5g/gal for the 4 bigger girls. It's right on the tip edge, as shown by the last feed, but they'll grow into it with this meal or the next anyway. Not going to sweat it.
I went ahead and run 2 quarts of breakfast into the Lemon, then flushed 3 gal of plain water through her and let her drip dry over a bucket. Then I put a gallon of food back in, and hopefully have reset her a bit. I think it was probably a tad unnecessary to do, however it was more precautionary measures than from desperate need.
The others weren't needing it, and the only other plant showing any signs of a mag def was the blue. She was barely starting to show on one leaf, so not concerned yet. Observant, yes; concerned, no. Will be keeping an eye out and seeing how things progress though.
Anyway, the short of all that dribble is the calmag/silica is out, and we're back to just straight MC at 5.5g/gal.
