Day 51
We're moving into the 8th week of vegging. :-/ Taking forever.
I took out the plants of the tent for a res change and frankly, until I had taken this picture, I had not realized how big they had gotten. You lose perspective when you watch as they grow every day.
I changed the res because some leaves were showing deficiencies and I don't know why (PPM, pH, water temp, rH, ambient temp are all normal)
All new growth looks fine, the problem appeared to be in the lower leaves only. Since I wasn't sure I just switched the entire res and added fresh calmg + fresh nutes.
99% of the leaves are fine. Could this be damage in the past that is now fixed but the damages were permanent?

Just to help with troubleshooting, these values are maintained 24/7:
Res temp: 68F
pH: 5.8
PPM: 800-900ppm
rH: 60%
Ambient temp: 85F
CO2: 1350ppm
FYI this has been there for 2 weeks or so, I just didn't notice in full details until I got the plants out of the tent and under white daylight.

53% of the squares have a head coming out of it, I am flipping to 12/12 tomorrow, FINALLY 
The first six weeks the plants were at 85F 24/7, the past two weeks at 87F, and I'll be maintaining 90F day temps in two weeks from now (75F at night).

I flipped to 12/12 and I've added the second light in the tent, so now two SS400W are running (total wattage: 630w). So essentially my two LED are the equivalent of a 600HPS in output, though they lack the same penetration. Which is why I went with scrog.
I'm surprised but my 1/10 hp chiller is enough to cool all of this.

Res change complete, and with my newly devised method, it took less than 15 minutes to do it all. Woot. I had to remove the second light because my 1/10 chiller was getting too stressed. It did the job, but it ran too much, so I'm getting a 1/4hp to palliate this problem, but I won't have it before another 3 weeks.
By the way, if you are a new grower and use Advanced Nutrients nutrients or additives, do not trust the indications. A half dose of just the basic bloom nutes (connoisseur A+B in my case) brought my PPM to the 900 range. Obviously a full dose is ridiculously over the top, I don't even understand why they write this. A new grower without a PPM meter, if he followed the directions on the bottle to the letter, would completely burn and kill his plants. If you can't even trust the frickin' manufacturer's own label, there is a problem. Of course I knew this prior to using them because I had done my research and every forums warn potential users of this, but you shouldn't have to read forums to get appropriate guidance.
Their "pH" perfect formula though is pretty neat.
A week in bloom and they are growing like crazy. My screen is completely filled now (I'm leaving some room on the right for when I'll need a dehumidifier).
As soon as pistils show up I'll take pictures.
Hopefully my fem seeds don't give me a male. That'd be catastrophic.

They grow so fast it's hard to keep track. Do you see these two new baby growths? The on e on the left was invisible to the naked eye 20 hours ago, the one to the right was a minuscule blip.
I've seen faster growth ever since I upped temperature to 90F.
