Well Bud production looks pretty good and the overall health of the plant looks good so odds are your worry is for nothing. However, that being said, if your using tap water you may be having a nutrient tie up from the ph. I use tap on a soil grow similar lighting and the works and what I do, more to ease my mind than anything, is when I see something that may look like defieciency I give it a small shot of veg nutes at 1/3 rate. If all else fails, flush again.., you saw improvements with that last time. Keep it posted. Nice grow. I'm subbed

WEll, I don't know about tap being better for any grow or not, I use it for convenience. I guess I think of it like you. RO is a more source but the main thing I think is to control teh ph. 4 is not good about 6-6.5 is what I've been reading.

I think they look hungry. You could probably run full suggested strength on your EJ system for the given time of life. I think you look short on N, P, Ca, and Mg primarily.

The single leaves up top indicate possible dark period light interruptions. Make sure everything is light tight.
