Ok I'll need to find another tub for the excess nutes but I can do that. What's the target EC?
They're already looking happier but I definitely want to get them back up to speed.
You'd mentioned reducing light levels the other day and I did; how much less are you suggesting? Right now it's 240W spread across a 3x3' table, raised up quite a bit to reduce intensity.
I use a ppfd meter I downloaded from Google play and it's actually really accurate. Measure what u normally run and get it down to just above good and over low

I'm going to need to calibrate it somehow. There's no way I have as much light as it says.It's for.android

I compared mine to.a buddy's 400 dollar meter and it was almost dead nuts
Check the setup info in the app. I know the Photone app I use on my iPhone says you have to wrap a strip of typical printer paper around the top of the phone to act as a light diffuser.

They look much better now. I was in the same court with some of the other members, looked "waterlogged" in those earlier pics.
You might have had light issues, and shocked them and it took a week or so to acclimate to their new home.

They still aren't quite as green as I'd like but they're growing again.

Are they going to get topped or trained?

Absolutely! However, they'll be trained for a 6' tall by 4' wide vertical trellis- so they need to get a bit taller before I start whacking at them.
The first thing to do is label the individuals, take cuttings and sex them so I can toss out the males. I'm not breeding so they're just wasted space.

No pics lately because... Girlfriend problems. Anyway, the sauce adjustments didn't take and by the time I noticed the flocculation in the tubs some of the leaves had gone crispy critter. Soooooo it's a setback but the plants aren't dead, they're just delayed.
Dumped the tubs, sluiced them out real good to get rid of any residue, mixed a fully fresh batch of stock solution and then made nutes again. Watching carefully to see how they respond.
