Okay thanks, just found it odd that it only happened on the biggest plant, doesn't seem to be getting much worse over the past couple days. Then again I don't really think it can unless leaves actually start to die off.
Something kinda weird happened today. After mixing my nutrient solution and letting it sit, what looked like solid purple strings formed in it, they almost looked like clumps of dust (but reddish/purple). Would this happen if chemicals in the nutrient solution are binding together?
I mixed it twice, cleaned all instruments thoroughly before second mixing, it's definitely forming from the nutrients themselves.
The only thing I did differently today is up calmag from 1.2 ml/l to 1.6 ml/l
10ml Sensi Bloom A, 10ml Sensi Bloom B, 5ml B52, 5ml Overdrive, 8ml Calmag, 10ml Carboload, 10ml Bud Factor X in 5L of water
PH 5.8 PPM 1360
Before upping calmag from 1.2 ml/l to 1.6, the feed was 1280-1300 PPM, so it doesn't seem to be effecting the PH or PPM, but I'm not sure if .4 ml/l of calmag should add more than around 70 PPM.
Everything has been the same for the past few days and this didn't happen, except I was only mixing in 6 ml/5L calmag before now.

I only let it sit for 10-15 mins after mixing, but apparently it's the bud factor x reacting with carboload... Before today I was bubbling my water straight from the tap, but since they've been needing watering more frequently and my air pump only has 2 outlets, the water (starting today) sat for 24 hours and was then bubbled for 24 hours, wonder if that has anything to do with it. Because I've been using the carboload and bud factor x together for the past couple days and this didn't happen.
Day 50
The ladies are looking good. but things are getting really cramped now. Probably spend 20 minutes tucking leaves after each watering in an attempt to increase light penetration. Looking forward to not having this issue next time around. Smell is realllly starting to pick up, opening my tent is like running into a brick wall of dank haha.
So the nutrient binding issue I was having was definitely caused by carboload + bud factor x... I've tried a few different things over the past few days, and the only thing that stopped this from happening was dropping calmag from 1.6 ml/l back down to 1.2 ml/l. I wonder if the bud factor x containing mag has anything to do with it, like too much overall mag causing the solution to bind to the carboload or something. This "binding" never occurred until both bud factor and carboload were mixed in, never with one or the other.
This is the smallest gal and she's looking great. Some of the bigger fan leaves (only maybe 2 sets near the top), have some serious canoeing going on. Don't see how it could be heat stress, temps are usually 77-79F, 81 at the highest. Can low RH cause leaves to canoe? It's only 45-48% sometimes lower.
The Cal Whore - It's funny how much bigger she is than the smallest, they look like two entirely different plants. Her branches are a lot longer, and the buds also seem more elongated and less dense. Wondering if her potency will be effected at all.
Frosty time!

Wow thanks man! She's actually the one with a serious cal def
... Wish I would have taken some better pics of the other girls, they look much better and are around the same size, there's some in the thumbnails but the flash wasn't on.
