Hey no problem DrFarm...

Just a quick question... Are you growing in Soil or Coco? I can clearly see some dead leaf tips, which could mean that they are being overfed, or perhaps there is a salt buildup in your medium from pH issues... If you are in soil, then 6.0 is really a bit low...however in Coco, I have found that 5.6-5.8 seems to hit the mark for me. Like Spinkus said, there does seem to be a bit of a calcium problem (the spotting, dead edges on the serrations) which definitely will rear its head with pH issues and the lack of Cal or Mg in the Bloom nutes.

Id suggest a bit of Cal/Mag if you have it, as I also see some intervenal chlorosis starting (sign of Mg def)...

Here is what I would do.... First off, give em a good flush... use 2-3 times as much water as the volume of your containers (2 gallon containers, use 4-6 gallons of water)....If you are in Coco, Id flush with plain water pHed to 5.8, in soil around 6.8...

After a good flush, then I would give them your normal feeding...Perhaps 12mL Bloom may be a bit much if you do already have a nutrient lockout....after the flush Id go with the normal feeding 9mL Bloom, along with a dose of Cal/Mag or Micro to get some Ca & Mg back in those babies...

Either way, with problems like this I would certainly give them a good flush before you give them more and more food becuase like I said I can see some tip burns, which could mean you are overferted and the medium is locking out many of the nutrients your ladies need right now.

Good luck, I hope the problems clear up for you.
