latest update.
the dreaded deficiency (or whatever it is) has spread to the buds :/
she was still growing really well and budding nicely.
have posted these pics in the infirmary - but have done another PH check run off check which was fine, so flushed a couple of gallons through her with qtr str nutes.
fingers crossed, but I am mostly thinking she will now not make it to harvest - I just wish I new what this was.

the people over in the infirmary have been very helpful.
so far I have, checked PH runoff (6.5 ish), flushed with two gallons of water and switched to chemical ferts.
she is looking a whole lot better than she was a few days ago - hopefully she can limp through the next 4-5 weeks and give me some harvest.

roughly 8 weeks old today.... 4 weeks left
I know i only updated a couple of days ago, but she has me excited again, and looks the healthiest she has been all throughout the grow.
Had to switch off the lower lights as the temps outside have gone up to 22-23c, hopefully the temps will drop down again - it is the UK after all
I am still using the dodgy cheapo chemical nutes from the garden shop, the plan is to plain water feed every 3rd or 4th feed - I also have a sample of FloraKleen to try.
Extremely positive now - and cant believe I was ready to chop the plant last week given how poorly she was.
After the grow is complete I am going to have to do some tests, I cant understand how a tub of tomato £2.99 nutes is doing better than proper cannabis £80 worth of nutes.

hi all, time for a bumper update.
It is exactly a week since I gave up on the biobizz nutes and went with cheap tomato garden center chemical nutes. I have to say the difference in a week is astonishing, and whilst the nutes I am using now may not be a long term solution to my growing requirements they have saved the grow - no doubts about that...
So please find latest pics - huge differences day by day now on the budding - all sites have nice frosting over them when you get up close. Couple of leaves are dying down low, but that looks normal like she has just decided they weren't worth saving and the nutes are being drained.
I have also included 2 pics of the nutes I am now using (called Blooming Marvelous NPK 20 20 20) (cost £2.99) - the local hydro store has also given me some samples of chemical based additives and flush to try to see if I can increase the yield (the other pic). I am using 1.5ml/l and she is guzzling about a (UK) gallon (4.5 liters) of water every 2-3 days.
My previous experience with NL's was an exactly 12 weeks from seed to harvest, so she has about 3-4 weeks left before chop chop time.
I estimate around an oz to an oz and a half yield, however given how (relatively) gorgeous she is now, I can only dream about the yield I would of had, had I not spent the last six weeks battling with her.
Btw, my latest thoughts on why the BioBizz didnt work is my water, I have reasons to believe that I have an extremely high chloramine and or fluoride content which was destroying the bacteria and fungus... I plan to test my water when I can afford to, and also plan to run some fert tests once this grow is complete in order to try and get to the bottom of the issue... I did spend £80 on the bloody nutes after all. This is a stealth grow, so use of well, rain, bubbled or RO water is really out of the question, I have to use tap water.
Also included a pic of my grow box to show the top and side lighting - there is 370w's of CFL in there at the minute - I figured overkill but better than wasting the electricity on powering heaters.
thanks for looking and all comments welcome.

Tomato food is great. Lots of nitrogen in it because tomatoes like their nitrogen same as maryjane. Have a look at geranium food or orchid food for flowering though.
If I had to go with one, I go with the bloom fert. I try to make good enough soil to get it through veg alone.
I reckon more. Those flowers are young.
My experience has been the same. Megabucks for magic potions that never do much.
I can sell you some magic water. Himalayan mountain spring, blessed by monks. Techno laser-ion water, it's got quantums. Bio water, seething with bacteria, nematodes and fungus. If the pitch works, they will sell it.
latest pics - she is 9 weeks old tomorrow.
no more vertical growth, but loads of bud growth everywhere... she smells awesome now and is really sticky (cant even wash it off your hands).
she is still guzzling about a gallon every two days (4.5 liters).
thanks Po boy - appreciate the NL love
