TGB i feel your pain bro......im a coco grower soil alludes me so im no help..:dunno: sorry man ...i can tell you that from my experience i have to agree with Medi ...and your run off i maybe high do to evaporation but once again im a coco grower

Wzup, CGR?! Thanks for poppin' through, bro! Man, I seen leaves dyin', and my ass started freakin out... again! LOL! I'm just gonna sit back and let her do her thing. No more panicking or freaking out. I swear, I mean it this time! LOL! I'm gonna roll with Medi's suggestion and just chill the hell out.

I wouldn't worry to much about a few bottom leaves turning yellow.It could be low on nitrogen so I would try and get her a little higher dose and see if she greens up.Also keep giving her cal/mag at every feeding.It takes a few days for your nutes to kick in so just relax and see what happens.I would also try and lower your intake ph a little to 6.4 or 6.5.

Think Different is a pretty resilient strain and for 31 days she's looking good bro... I'd guess your phenotype is the 11/12 week version cuz it preflowered in week 4.. mine didn't preflower till week 8 she went 14 weeks. She's almost at week 5 bro and you might be underfeeding her N if you're following the 15 week dutch pro schedule.. their week 5 is 2.5ml A/2.5ml B of Grow if she was gonna go 15 weeks. But don't follow their 18 hour/16/18/16/14 light schedule.. never seen that before.. I think it could hurt yield cuz of less light, but idk.

Evening, GB!:tiphat:
I'm with Nam and Medi, give her some time. Don't be tempted to over-correct, it doesn't work any better on plants than it does with cars.
Nam kinda echoed my Pm, try to hit between 6.4 and 6.5 with your water and feed, and monitor your run off. I think her top growth is looking much better, but that's just looking at the pics.
Yellow fans... well, they do that on even the healthiest plants. Watch, but take some deep healing breaths. :Ohmmm.......:

Hello Nam, and thanks for swinging through. I'm gonna take that suggestion of yours and bump up her feed a bit, and continue on with the CalMag. The solution had a PH of 6.5, and the soil was at 6.4-ish, but the runoff was a high 6.9, which is still confusing to me. I'm also gonna take your suggestion to relax. This damn plant! She has me all in touch with my emotional side, freaking out, and panicking n shit! I never knew a silly as plant could have me all caught up, but not no more! From here on out, I'm chill. Thanks again for stopping through, and I hope you come through again.

Yeah, I was definitely riding the 15 week schedule, so I'll chalk that up to my ignorance. That damn thing had me confused the way it started out in the negatives! What week do you suggest I bump her up to? I should still be using the grow nutes for at least a couple more weeks, right?

Breathe in, breathe out. Nice deeep breaths. I'm chill, bro. Like the other side of the pillow...
Except for that high 6.9 runoff! That shit is still nagging at me! Other than that, I swear, Red, I'm gonna start taking things in stride. I ain't gonna have no damn plant taking me for emotional roller-coaster rides no more! LMAO!

I think skip foward one week so instead of the 2.5ml each AB bump up to the 3ml..

Since I only gave her 2 ml of each yesterday, do you suggest I feed her again tomorrow to make up for the difference, or just wait until I feed her on Saturday to bump up?

Just a thought, GB, I like splitting my feed schedules so every watering has a dose in it. So if I water twice a week, it's two half doses, instead of one big one. That lets me tweak things... a little more here, a little less there, and if I'm going too hot maybe just some cal/mag or a shot of molasses in pH'ed water.
That's the cool thing about growing, Brother. No one way is the only way. Like my Nana used to say, "Don't be afraid to take that thing out and play with it". Oh, wait, that wasn't granny....
I've had great luck using GA's pH chart to figure out where I need to be:
PH Calculation Guide by GoAuto6

Rough Calculation Guide:

Here's some good info on ph.....
If your runoff pH is higher than your starting pH, use this equation to determine your soil pH:*
Soil pH = Runoff pH + Difference

If your runoff pH is lower than your starting pH, us this equation:
Soil pH = Runoff pH - Difference.

For example, say your the starting pH of your solution before it goes in is 6.5 and the pH of your runoff is 7.0. The difference is +0.5, so using the above equation:
Soil pH = 7.0 + 0.5*
Soil pH = 7.5

If your starting pH is 6.5 and your runoff is 6.0, your difference is -0.5 and using the above equation:
Soil pH = 6.0 - 0.5
Soil pH = 5.5

Yikes! That means my soil PH is still running high at 6.9. Solution went in at 6.5, runoff was 6.9. So, I still need to drop it. I was thinking about splitting the feeding to twice a week, so I'll go with that suggestion
