    What’s the temp of your feed when your plants get fed?
    The light mix is just right in my opinion but defo agree that the normal stuff is very strong, it used to kill 75% of my seeds

    I never have an issue until week 5/6. Thats when the girls start to yellow from the bottom, well most of them and I also get a problem plant and a devil plant (strange growth, leaves etc)
    It has been happening for the last 4 years but they always produce a similar amount

    My rain water is collected in 2L bottles and placed in the room for 24 hours to warm, never actually checked, dont know why.

    Yes it does sound like something is consistently messing with you're plants. In week 5 there is a huge pull on p and k and also cal and mag amongst other micros. Wondering whether you have turned the medium toxic by week 5 and so get lock out, down to feeding the soil. You should be able to keep them nice and green all the way with just a little bit of understanding and also when to hold back nutes. Have you learnt to read a plant yet?, they tell you with their leaves. IMO the best thing i learnt was to do NOTHING when in doubt about feeding. and quite possibly back the nutes down unless she is showing you a yellow skirt (bottom leaves). Sound to me like the nitrogen has been depleted from the older leaves due to either lock out or not ENOUGH feeding (but only you know).

    Regards this plants here that is looking a bit got at, have you flushed out the medium? If the scorching of more bud leaves develop then i would flush her out with tap water and follow up with a feeding of standard bloom nutes. All the best mate, looking nice that bud shot

    I have often wondered if it was a Cal Mag problem.

    I have attempted to understand the plant better but in the past when I have made changes it always seemed to make matters worst, Found it best to continue regardless
    I am hoping that people like yourself with a much better knowledge base will be able to impart some wisdom

    By week 5 my girls are on 5ml root stim and 3ml grow per liter.......maybe too much

    oh you mean by 5 weeks from start inc veg. i thought you meant flower lol. If you are using virgin soil from either of those brands you mention then there isnt any need for food mate, just root stim. no ph'ing. just measure out 5 ml stim (which one, canna is 4mls max) and throw it on. The leafs below will start to yellow, this is you're cue to start adding food, ie - start at 1 ml pl then 2ml, what for tip scorching, up it to 3ml and so on. constantly observing the state of the leaves and coming on here before it gets bad, that way you will gain knowledge mate
