Seems like a good time for an update. I didn't intend for this to be a grow log, but I didn't imagine I would have so many troubles either.
Environmentally, everything has been awesome. Temp 68-70F, Humidity 40-50%, pH 5.5-6.5 with rare adjustments, PPM700ish, EC 1.5. I refilled both buckets Sunday. Bubbagum was down more than I realized and took 2+ gallons. BBK was closer to 1.5 gallons. I mixed my new water to be as identical as possible to the existing water as far as nutrients and pH.
Bubbagum is doing awesome, best I can tell.

BBK looks freakish to me, but she keeps on truckin' - roots seem to remain clean. I've been tempted to chop off the browned leaves, but have resisted the urge so far. Folks say autos are fragile by nature, so after all the abuse I already inflicted on her, I'll just let her do her thing as long as she keeps progressing.

@AnselAdams - I missed your comment last week about keeping an eye on Cal/Mag. Can you explain a little more please... like I'm a 5th grader?
Hey Nate!
The CalMag issue I was talking about is during flower in particular. During this last grow I made the mistake of making my last CNS-17(grow) (high N) feeding during grow, and my dosing of CalMag (also high in N) too close together (only 3 days apart instead of a week as was indicated by my log). This caused my N to spike, which delays flowering .
I did a quick five gallon flush to correct but the two day of being too high (while i figured out what was going on) caused a short delay in the more mature plant that was about2-3 weeks into flower; vs a huge impact on the one that was just beginning to flower. This caused uneven growth and made scrogging the second plant impossible. Here is a look at the mess it created. https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/ansel-adams-hydro-adventures-journal.108531/post-2417439.
Hope that helps; if not keep asking and I'll keep answering
