Hello again everyone! 
I posted here a few months ago about a couple of plants that were just starting up.
I was concerned that one was growing significantly slower than the other. az2000 very quickly pointed out that it was just genetics which turned out to be 100% the case.
Since then, I've had some difficulties... First being that I couldn't get my hands on the nutrients that I wanted.
I'm a really big fan of Advanced Nutrients for many reasons but particularly for their PH Perfect Technology.
If anyone remembers back in December when I posted originally, I said that I wanted the whole project to cost less than $100. Seeing how a ph kit and tester would put me WAY over, PH Perf was my only hope.
I'm in Canada, which means 2 things. 1) $100 dollars doesn't go very far and 2) it's impossible to find stuff.
I had an unusually hard time finding AN here for whatever reason so the ladies went their entire veg without nutes and just untreated, filtered water. I think it's safe to assume the water was at least a little bit too acidic.
When I finally did find it, they were already at least 2 months in veg because I decided not to switch to flower until I had the AN Bloom to give them.
By today, 3 months and 9 days since my last post, I've discarded 2 of my 4 plants as they were male, leaving just my two ladies.
Allow me to introduce them:
This is the oldest one. As you can see, leaving her in veg for 2 months caused her to nearly outgrow the space I have for them so I started LST just under a week ago.
I wanna point out all the missing leaves, tho I'm sure you didn't miss it haha they started to die a while back, then eventually just fell off. I'm sure there's a myriad of reasons why this might've happened, unfortunate.
First question: do you think these will still turn into buds? It kinda looks like they might!
Here's the second one, a couple weeks younger. As you can see, she's not doing very well... She's starting to flower, but just like her big sister, all the lower leaves died and fell off.
Second question: it seems as though this little one's leaves are dying from the bottom up, towards the only seemingly healthy part left. Think there's any hope for her? Maybe now that she's got nutes she'll recover?
Another thing I should mention is that in anticipation of the AN Bloom in the mail, I switched their lights to 2700K. This was probably a big mistake as I didn't get the Bloom for at least another week or two, so they were still on a 24hr no dark cycle but with 2700K lights. Big deal?
Here's some more pictures:
Looks like nitrogen deficiency in these lower branches, I'm hoping that'll clear up now that she's gettin fed.
Question number three:
What's up with this one leaf that looks like it's showing manganese deficiency? It's the only one I can see like it
That's about it, in addition to the 3 questions, I'd love to hear any tips you guys might have. I'll also be watching this thread so I'll reply and answer any questions as quickly as I can. Thanks!
