What happens if - at the end - everyone votes for you. except you, who decides second place... Who get's third?
Chew on that for a bit, I'm H.a.Fuck!

@H.A.F. looks like Dyna-Grow customer support ended up at the same red box I did.
What's the plan?
Cut back the nutes?
I'm having fun as this grow progresses and don't really play for the prize.
I enjoy competition and how it improves my grow skills.
I have learned something in every comp and I'm learning in this one also.
I just voted over in the LED comp and it wasn't much fun voting it was fun playing the game.

Funny, HAF wanted to feed more to combat defenciencies in micronutes.

Are you kidding me, That guy at Dyna-Gro has no clue what he is talking about! I'd just keep doing what you're doing HAF! (Sarcastic laugh)

I'll go with what the pro says. I have 3 other plants going. And thank him for his time.
I just double checked and the ppm on each feed was well under the 'recommended' ppm for each feed. Recommended ppm for this point in the grow is between 1200-1400 per their chart. last feed was1060. the runoff from the flush after that feed was in the 400's (first run-off).
So for the haters, that is the only reason I was skipping that box. For the rest thanks for the help.

Thanks.
Yes, DG 'was' in the middle. They are crowded back together now because of another plant I'm flipping.
To the right was the FF Gringo Rasta (the one I had to LST)
The regular FF trio was the glamour shot. All are getting leaf issues where they touch the wall, but if it stays there I'm cool with that. nothing looks systemic.

Thanks man, your garden looks good too. I appreciate it.

Cursed myself when I said nothing systemic. Since I flushed them the Gringo is getting either deficiency or nute burn signs on other leaves.
Since they all got a good feed after I flushed, I am going to keep R/O feeding them and base the next feed on the exit ppm.
I mentioned it to someone yesterday, but I have grown this skunk strain and never gotten past 51 days in 12/12. The average has been right at 7 weeks. So at day 32, I think they'll all survive another 3 weeks. These did take longer to show pistils than the others, so it may go a bit longer, but it has been around 21 days from seeing the first brown pistils on top. Each grow, and even plants within that grow, has been 21 days - and the difference between the 45 day harvest and the 51 was probably in how long they took to show pistils.
Another thing I noticed is that the tops have one extra set of nugs than previous plants. I have usually had 3 sets of nugs, then the top - like the avatar. But the 2 big ones (FFTrio and GenHydro) have 2 sest of nugs in each direction before the top. And I mean ones with no stem of their own.
Yeah, I'm high, caffeined, and posting again, sue me

There are lots of ways I could approach the topic of your grow.
I truly want to help.
It was to soon to talk about growing in soil last month, I was curious then how things were going to go.
In the comp I was in in 2018 we were having a good time helping growers off the bat something that some probably didn't prefer us doing. Several of us were having a great time.
We can have a conversation about soil and feeding it and it won't have any impact on your grow in the comp but it might help you in the future to look at soil in a different way.
You and I are growing in completely different ways.
Most of the fertilizers you use feed the roots (synthetic).
Most if not all of the ferts I use are organic and feed the Microbes. ( bacteria and fungus )
A lot of the bottles you are using would do excellent in hydroponic setups.
Coco would be a good medium for your experiment.
Only one product you are using feeds the soil. FF Big Bloom.
Look at all the bottles you have.
Read the ingredients on each.
Learn which ones are synthetic and which ones are not.
Read a bunch of these links:
https://www.google.com/search?ei=wcPeXL27HoPm-gTttJzADA&q=synthetic+vs+organic+fertilizers+"edu"&oq=synthetic+vs+organic+fertilizers+"edu"&gs_l=psy-ab.12..0i13.1362.6864..8854...0.0..0.135.611.4j2......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71j0i22i30j33i22i29i30j33i160.iTOXQMMHJdk
If you want to continue learning more buy "Teaming With Microbes" a well written book for learning about soil.
Your bacteria are likely very unhealthy at this point and there is not much you can do other than finish the grow the way your running it. In the future the best thing you can learn if you stay with soil as a medium is how do I help my bacteria become super athletes.

Very well said! Teaming With Microbes is full of great info and I would recommend it for anyone trying to understand the "Soil food web" and how it can benefit your grow! (Long Golf Clap)
On a side note, It will save you a lot of money also!
