Nitrogen/magnesium/calcium deficiency and what im planning to do

Hey green machine, thanks for weighing in. The City Pickers are actually 20.5x24.5x7.5". They will carry 2 cf of soil if full. But, yeah, I didn't fill them full, and have two different cultivars in each, grown from seed. I wanted variety so I would have choice when it comes time to have a puff. They are all hybrids, mostly indica leaning. But, I think you are right as far as transplanting from solo cups, go two weeks to flip. It's hard for me to have a bunch of clones and whatnot due to a low plant count. Am in Canada, only allowed four. But, would be nice with two clones in each. For future reference for sure.
If you’re using fem seeds you can flip even faster! Try it out once and see what happens,

I average 5-6 harvest a year, even if the plant stays shorter and smaller you’ll get a whole extra harvest or two each year and less investment in electric cause your cutting your 18 period down
 
Not necessarily, I do GLR, in veg its: 12 hours lights on, 5.5 off, 1-hour on, 5.5 off and this would help OP with heat issue
Hey budman, do you use a mechanical timer? Seems like that would be the easiest to setup for this light cycle.(GLR) I have a digital. Not sure if I can program more than one "on" and or "off" times with it.

Yes , a timer is best and all you do is set 12/12 then set 1 hour of light to come on in the middle of the dark 12 hours

Shits derailing! Now from taking to much advice online your gunna start GLr and fuck everything up way more when the basics of your grow don’t work.

The plant is veg to long, root bound in container, then P K stalling out because the soil can not keep up with the large plants demands!!!! It’s simple, don’t go fixing a lightbulb with a pipe wrench!!!

I think OP came to want to use GLR as I said I was using it and I’m sure they did some research.
I don’t see how this light routine can be a bad thing for his setup and goal to help his sick plants. Can you explain?

Right. Seems like a soil issue. 20% compost sounds low to me imo.

Yeah, I get what you are saying Green machine. I haven't switched to GLR yet, and maybe I shouldn't. Screwing with the light schedule that much at this point may create more problems, not sure.

The plants are showing a bit more green in new growth, and lower leaves still look ok. I'm still tossing around chopping it down and starting over (in the fall), or just trying to feed enough to get them across the finish line.

Maybe 20% is low, but, I don't really think so. Not having enough medium altogether, and not amending soon enough, plus driving them too hard with ppfd for those conditions got me where I am today. I f*cked up.

Yeah, I am a bit concerned with what will happen if I switch to GLR now. Still contemplating it, but not 100% I will switch. Would love to try it from the start of a grow, and likely will next go around for sure.
