Looks like I had some potasium locked out from these leaves. Hopefully over the hump. Some pics from last night. The buds are starting to grow outward now and not looking like smooth cones. Is there a term for that? I call it getting gnarly. Day 51.

Super interesting thread, I commend you for getting high tech with this one!
I gotta get me a ph and ppm meter cuz I just kinda wing it
.
But yeah bro, remember were growing buds, not leaves lol. Since your buds look fire I say job well done. If your PH has been spot on, then the only thing I can think of is that your nutrient ratio might be off?
I used to use Koolbloom but I have learned since that FloraBloom has plenty of PK making KB kinda pointless, just increase Pink stuff and no need for a PK boost. I just run calimagic, micro, veg and bloom and Great White. I used to run Diamond Nectar but it doesn't have fulvic acids so I finished my bottle and wont run it anymore. Looking to get MR. Fulvic next run and try it out.
Only thing Im changing this next run is Im gonna nix the calimagic last few weeks of flower and run epsom instead for the sulphur till harvest.
Also, I dont fk around with gradually increasing PPM's. I put seeds in, grow em a lil bit and give em full strength veg nutes at transplant into final pot. I think slowly increasing ppm's and changing NPK ratio's shocks em a bit. Also i dont go over 650ppm's like your running, total waste of nutes running 1200ppm imo, unless you are using CO2.
Here are my ratio's in case you wanted to see what I use.
VEG Stage: 600-650ppm
Calimagic: 3.5ml per gallon (my water is 60ppm well water). *I increase this amount if I see any signs of calmag def, its strain specific.
Micro: 3.25ml per gallon
Grow: 3.25ml per gallon
Bloom: 1.6ml per gallon
FLOWER Stage: +/- 650ppm
Calimagic: 2.5ml per gallon (Until last 3-4 weeks where I switch calimagic for epsom salt)
Micro: 2.75ml per gallon
Grow: 1.65ml per gallon
Bloom: 5.25ml per gallon
