Just at lights out…
The ‘normal’ lighting does a good job of showing all buds taking shape…

Buds are stacking nicely… Be getting some nice colas soon!

Hey Brother! That input stuck hard in my brain apparently.
I did some listening last night (link below) and in the first 10-20 minutes is a discussion of biological complexity and the impact on biomass production, and the production split between above and below ground growth. What’s interesting is the suggestion that roots will grow better with fungus in the soil as it helps oxygenate and create space for root growth.
So I buy that the fungus will contribute more available/relevant nutrients during flower, but I think this opens the door to the idea that the relationship between the fungus and the roots is more broad than that nutrient exchange during flower and can make growth below ground more vigorous earlier in the plants life.
At least in my set up where I want to use the same soil again, I think this is encouraging.
…that’s my daily dose of bro science…

Pistils on Gerty are already turning a little bit. Good frost formation on both…
Then they’re a little lighter green than I’d like. Not sure… I’ll give it a few days. I’ll innoculate Sunday so nothing extra until after that…

A lot of folks here have talked about DGC, dude grows, I’ve been checking it out. They were talking about a similar concept regarding fungus and cannabis roots. If I understand it correctly, the fungus forms a symbiotic relationship that literally expands the surface area in that it allows for maximum uptake of readily available nutrients. There’s products like restore soil treatment which helps to establish a healthy biological system, encouraging this environment of maximum nutrient efficacy.

Right on man!! The experiment goes deeper!!

Glad that stuck, and you right of course…just remember to feed " broad spectrum "…

Pretty sure I have a deficiency here…
Lots off bug damage to sift through but I see brown spots too…

Inoculated over two days cuz I made five gallons. I’m all over the damn place with water so it’d be a miracle to know that there are any actual organisms in the soil… 
They’re still stacking but I’m losing potential everyday. I think they’re underfed in a big way.
No sweat, it’ll be plenty of smokable bud, but I’m gonna need to be more aggressive next run…

I’m fairly sure this is not all thrip damage. I’m specifically looking for advice on what kind of deficiency I have here. I have done peroxide application in about a 1-3 ratio h3o to water (went really strong this last time) but far enough before lights on that I’m pretty sure the leaves were dry.
I’m 100% organic and not watering to runoff so I have no PPM or Ph available.
I’m under a 300w Mars Hydro QB at full blast about 18” off the canopy.
Temps are consistently between 72-78 f in the tent with RH low between 45-55 depending on watering mostly.
I’ve innoculated twice with a store bought NPK booster tea this week and about 4 weeks ago, otherwise it’s straight water (sometimes with molasses) sometimes with Molasses.
Soil is pro-mix, coco, castings, and perlite… no real amendments added.
Help??
(I’ve tried to add front/back photos of the leaves here to show that I don’t have bugs actively crawling around…)

Looks like bug damage to me. I would definitely get a ph and tds reading to determine if there’s a nute issue

First picture looks like lower leaf die off from lack of light, and thrip damage. Taken near the bottom?
The rest looks like thrip damage. Heavy infestations will yellow spots you’re seeing.

Man I want those bugs to F off…
I’ll keep on the peroxide, I’m not willing to use any other chemicals at this point…
But thanks for the feedback guys!!
@fano_man I have seen very few mites this run…
Spot on @Covertgrower that leaf was from the edge of the skirt, so pretty low
@breezy I guess I’m really in denial about those damn thrips.
