First an update on my plants. Fat Girl & Little Lady or Res "A" & Res "B"
(BNP)
You guys will remember i dropped into flowering 05-Oct. using : Full Nute Pak
"FNP" (Sensi A+B Bloom + Root Juice + B52, Bud Candy + Big Bud at their respective times @ a 70% of the AN calculator recommended dosages...), in Res "A" Fat Girl, and
"BNP" in Res "B"
"BNP" is everything in
"FNP" except "
BIG BUD"
On the 16th I started running the nutes at 100% of the suggested amounts as per the AN calculator.
Fat girl (the healthiest and fullest of the 2 plants) was hit HARD!! The decline was so fast i had so little of a chance to diagnose it before the plant had given in. -->

I keep the res active and continued changing the nutes out? This is how Fat Girl looked immediately after the fallout, this was about 2 days after I noticed signs, I'd already began the flush!!

Now she has new growth and new roots growing! So now she is back on the vegging nutes at 70%, sitting in a separate little area normally to be used for clones.-->

--> Today!! She's coming back,
I'll throw her into flowering after the roots are better established --->

So now here are the errors i made!
First off I was trying to adjust Sensi Grow and Sensi Bloom pH.
--> I've notice that my normal tap pH is 7.6, when i add my nutes the pH is dropped down to a consistent 6.5! This si great except I've always adjusted the pH of the clear water to 5.6 prior to adding the nutes, then adjusted again after!!!
Now this was bad enough since it left me with daily inconsistent readings. And pH balancing trips 4 to 5 times a day!
So in parallel to that issue the pH tester that I purchased was not calibrated so my readings were off my readings in the res were 7.x and the actual pH would be 2 points lower..
Along with that i ran two res's with 2 different nute mixes
FNP= Full Nute Pak -- (Sensi A+B Bloom + Root Juice + B52, Bud Candy + Big Bud)
BNP= Basic Nute Pak -- (Everything except
Big Bud!!)
I may have miscalculated a Big Bud dosage twice also..
So now the res that only had FNP is now on FNP @ 70% recommended dosage. I'm not adjusting the pH. She's growing great.
In order to help her out I added my 400w HiD. I figured she had enough stress already I'll test and run comparisons on the next push. Since my harvest will be cut in half I need to ensure maximum yield from here forward. No better way than to light up with a 400w HiD eh?

So in retrospect Advanced Nutrients did pretty well in keeping the plants alive throughout my "pH down attack!!" all the way up until either:
1. I bumped up the Res mix to 100%
OR
2. I overdosed the plant on Big Bud
So now let's see what these nutes can get these girls to grant me in terms of BUDS!!!!
Ciao,
Pure...
I posted a variant of this thread in my AN thread!!
