Hmmm. Try using strait tap water. I’ve done a whole grow using API stress coat. Only takes like 4 or 5 drops per 5 gallon bucket to rid of chlorine and chloramine from the water

My tap was 600 ppm so I put in an ro system but I mix it back into my tap with a pinch of ascorbic acid that wipes out the chloramine

I use all ro water basically. If I do most of my bucket 5 gals of ro and top it off with tap and use jacks I usually don’t have to add up or down usually falls between 56 and 5.8 if I use tap without setting or without the API stuff I end up with a 6.6 pH before anything they do have a version of jacks out for tap water if I’m not mistaken

Jacks does have a tap line and it’s much better than the 321 line for tap water users. I ran the 321 last run and the jacks for tap on this run with the bloom and finish nutrients. I can notice a lot better results. .

@MeEasy @Mark0427 @OGIncognito thanks a lot. You all are awesome. I was just thinking about what everyone just said. Do you think it could be because I “reverse light shocked” it. I moved it to a spot in the tent that has less light. I’m running 24 hours right now so it makes even more difference. I just went downstairs and pulled out the quantum sensor. In its previous location it was receiving 260 ppfd right in the center but I moved it to a location on the outside and actually lower. The resulting ppfd was 210. Spread out across 24 hours I’m looking at about 4 moles less. 
I went straight to the controller and bumped it up from 360w to 468w and the resulting ppfd in that location is 280. I’m going to move some stuff around in there today and get light spread more even.

So it’s been a long couple of weeks. Life has been trying to kick my butt. I’m to stubborn for that 
though. It just takes a lot of time alone and thinking. Starting to get that crap behind and moving on with the girls. Needless to say, the babies have not got much love, only watered twice a day. I’m trying to decide if I should even top or FIM at this point. Today is day 25. Don’t know what really happened with OG but I just let her go and figure it out, lol.
Flowering tent is almost ready. I need to check some trichomes.

She’s 2 weeks younger than everyone else and was stressed by some bugs at the beginning. Barely made it. Wasn’t expecting much from her but she’s proving otherwise. Might get a couple O’s.

It’s so green vs the rest lol. All looking nice tho. Can’t wait to get some of these clones in the flower room. I have to drop some tester seeds for a guy and I’m out of room. I need to off 4 of these clones to make me some room. The clones are between 1 and 2 feet tall lol so basically can take and flip to flower right away if needed I have no room with this CBD plant being so damn big taking up half the flower room

Thanks everyone. I hope all is well around the growmies! It’s been a crazy last 3 days. I have some time to get this update in. Hopefully tonight I can check some trichomes. I did a quick check 2 days ago on pineapple 1 and BB and they looked cloudy couldn’t see many amber so it’s looking about time. I will get a better look tonight.
I have been having some issues with my timer on my uv light. Power went out for a couple seconds and it freaked out and I can’t get it to set right. @MeEasy this is why I need a mechanical one and not digital. So I have to go turn it on and off by hand. Is this what happens when you forget to turn it off before work and they get 10-12 hours of UV - B. Luckily it’s a single 2’ T5 24W. I have forgot about them twice now.
Here’s the GG2. She is so dense. I’m excited to see her final product.
Tent 2 is quietly doing its thing. I had a chance to get in and do some LST. I think that’s all I’m doing this grow and see how it does. I really haven’t had time to mess with them much so I’m just rollling with it. These 3 gallon pots are hard to keep moist and then not overwater when I do water.
There are possibly about to be some big changes around here that I’ve been trying to get figured out. The girlfriend and I both have to be on board though. It also means I will have to change my grow style or hope the girlfriend gets interested in learning to grow with me. She has said multiple times she wants to and that’s a big reason I got the second tent. That and to do perpetual but hoping she would get but by the growing bug like me and be something we could do together. She definitely likes the reward of it 
. I hope everyone is doing good and growing some bomb a$$ buds!

The burn sucks but it doesn’t look like it ruined anything, beating up on these plants normally turns out for the better so you might have helped them build more trichomes 
the girls in tent two look good and will fill it up fast, personally I would at least top them once but you do have 10 foot tall tents 
so they’d be fine either way… You are missed in the early morning bs sessions but life has to come first bro I get that… take care bro
