Please say poor lighting

Sorry to spam this post, but it also just occurred to me that you are through 2 weeks of flower and I can't really see any bud site development in these pics. Maybe it is just the strain, but this just makes me lean even more towards too much N.

They have quite a few bud sites and actually those parts of the plant seem to be doing really good and filling out at a good pace. Colors are wack cuz the hps was on but the leaves are all a nice even green.

Whats the ph of your Run off water???

Ph in today was 5.85, ph out was 5.91
ppms in were 430, ppm out was 295

According to gh nutrient sched for transition they recommend:
Micro - 4ml per gal
Gro - 4ml per gal
Bloom - 4ml per gal
Calmag recommends 3.78ml per gal all through grow

I was feeding for the last week around 430ppm:
Micro - 2.5ml per gal
Gro - 2.5ml per gal
Bloom - 2.5ml per gal
Calmag - 2.5ml per gal

This week, early bloom GH recommends:
Micro - 4ml gal
Gro - 1ml gal
Bloom - 5ml gal

I started feeding today still about 430ppm:
Micro - 2.75ml gal
Gro - 1.23ml gal
Bloom - 3.7ml gal
CalMag - 1.23ml gal (messed up my math and will start using the recommended 3.78ml)

The bud sites are all going really good and all canopy growth looks lush and happy. The one plant with the most substantial bud growth is the one with the most yellowing lower leaves coincidentally. I'm hoping the boost in bloom nutes may help plus getting my calmag back to where it should be.

Id get the ph up to 6.1/6.2 range. and that should be the run off. Give it a few days and it should recover. Also i would go lighter on the nutes until it recovers.

I'm new at this but don't see how raising my runoff ph from 5.9 to 6.1 is going to have any significant impact on what is currently happening. I'll go read some more and maybe something will jump out at me.

@nomoresnow It better snow lots! I ski !!!

Ok you called, I'm here....

I agree with UncleReemus 100%!

I'll add this.......Water when needed or water less amount everyday.......Every cpl of weeks,,,,,flush instead of daily run off. Your media is staying too wet.......I would Ph all in-going to the higher end of the Hydro pH scale! Say 6.1 or 6.2 as long as any run off is lower then the in-going.

Thanks for the input, I will try watering less often, keep my ph higher and see how that goes.
No skiing here unless it's behind a boat, hence the no more snow. Thanks again.
