Took a while to get the magic goo and then it took a bit to go through the required procedure.
As a result, the plant looks like it has been through a difficult time.
Will be flowered as is.
Running a PPK with chunky coco, and a reservoir of just under 30 gallons.

Not pleased with the readings I am getting off the res. I dumped and the res and rinsed it out and refilled it.
Refilled it with jacks at 600 ppm. Replacing the fan and hose with a 4 inch system in an effort to try to
keep things a little warmer. Lights were raised a little and turned up from 60% to 100%.

Have RO system and more Jacks on the way.

Oh, they look bad. I hope that is not light burn.
Does look rough, and I am working on a remedy.
Live in the LA area and the water here changed.
Will see if RO makes the difference.
Would think others in the area would be
experiencing similar.

The above were vegged under a FCE-3000 .
Flipped them last week, and put a couple 600 Watt HPS in to flower them with as it is how the place gets heated.
There are four plants in here, a Sour Diesel, a Platinum Kush Mint, and 2 True Mints.

would the plants be too close to the light? Hope there will be no light bleach issue.

As these plants were accustomed to a 250 Watt Metal Halide, I had this light tuned down to about 70%, to give these a chance to acclimate. I did however raise the light so there is 10- 12 inches between plants and the light. I appreciate your input, thank you most kindly.

Am a little undecided how I am going to deal with these. May have 18" of height left. Giving thought to moving them over to the closet and standing them up in a line, and making them into flat plants, and then hang the LED lights vertically, so that each plant will get lit by 2 light bars one on each side of the plant running from top to bottom.

I suppose I could leave them as they are and drop a 400 Watt bulb down the in the lower one third of them. That would give me some bud development.

Could always pull the LED and pull the plants back to the corners, and put a stack of two 600 Watt vertical bulbs in there.

The images near the top of this page, from the 'bad ol' sick plant days' look more like fungal issues or excess watering/moisture to me, possibly with some excesses and deficiencies in nutes or ph issues (which I think you'd mentioned before; the ph issues), but that's just my opinion, mostly from looking at the pics at the top of this page.

They're looking a LOT happier down near your posts this evening.
