Looking good WHAB!! Don’t fall thru the ceiling.. this is something I would do! 10 times!
Th light green I am used to seeing a bit less intense than what your plants are exhibiting.. N deficiency will present itself lower on the plant- the new growth coming on here looks like the beginning of a lockout ?? I would triple check everything! Something may out of balance ! It looks 2 me like the roots may not be workin’
Ph rising like that quickly maybe means the nutrients are doing something funky in the mixture ..
Could be wrong.. Worth check in’ !

I hit a glitch in the matrix!
I wasn't thinking about it, but the West side of the roof is all pitched roof. It's not a Gable End. There is no "Fascia" to vent through as it is on the East side. The Fascia on the West side looks to just be attached to the faux rafter tails. I think. I can't get a good look at the outside at night. That's what it looks like from the inside and what I can see on the outside.
This is looking West and how I want to duct it out.
First image is after I cut the strong-backs out of the way and before I flipped the duct the other direction.
This is what it looks like on the outside at night.
Even IF I could go out the West side, the transition duct I have won't fit in the space, IF I were to go out the Rim Joist.
So, I 'think' I am left with 3 options.
I could go out through the "rim joist" with a different (narrower) transition duct.
I could go out the Soffit with a 90 degree transition duct, pointing it down (which may be a good way to go).
Or, I can go out the Fascia on the East side, flipping the fan and ducting back the other way from where I just moved it!
And, then, something I had not thought about until this point, I'll have to get some sort of screened register to prevent wildlife from inhabiting it when not in use - or sooner
This is from the pitched end of the roof, where I hope to run the duct, looking back to the AC Infinity T6.
Things to ponder!

Thanks, man!
I've been pretty careful up there up to this point but, they're called "accidents" for a reason! . I'm almost done with this aspect of the work up there. When I start the other work I will put some temporary plywood 'flooring' up there.
Yes, I thought N deficiency right off .... but as you say, it would be in the lower leafs first. It doesn't fit this circumstance at this stage of growth.
It 'may' be the onset of Lock-Out. I had not considered or researched that...even though I do have knowledge and memory of it.
It wasn't really a sudden pH rise. It's been sitting at 5.7 or so for days.
But, it still 'may' be something funky with the Nutes. That 'white slime' I ran into the other day has had me wondering about these Mega Crop nutrients since then. I've never seen anything like that.
I will triple check everything as you suggest, starting with re-calibrating the Bluelab pH Truncheon and go from there (it's only been about 10 days since I last calibrated it, so I don't suspect that to be the problem).
I still think the high E.C. is a contributing factor. But, I can't get it down without emptying some of the reservoir, which I have been considering since the white slime issue....only to get the E.C. down a bit.
Thanks for getting me to think about lock-out...that is a real possibility!

It just might be lockout. Thanks for making me question it, Mister G!
I just tried to calibrate the Bluelab pH Truncheon and I don't think it calibrated correctly.
I tried pH 7 and pH 4 calibration solutions several times. A few times it seemed to calibrate to pH 7 and a few times to pH 4 solutions. But, a few times it didn't hit on the solution I was testing to OR it started blinking .5 after in addition to calibrating on each solution. I've never seen that before and since this Truncheon is no longer supported I doubt I'll find documentation on it. A couple of times when I was using the 4 solution it calibrated to 7
With each time I 'thought' it 'might' be calibrated I kept getting mostly 6.0 or higher readings in the reservoir and I pH downed it a few times. I 'think' it is at 5.6 now - I 'think'!
I just bought the Bluelab pH Pen... $90 I was hoping not to spend.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005POOJHG" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I also bought some bulb-seal for the Cloning Machine. I tried to find locally, that wasn't possible when I looked previously. I'm hoping to find the angle iron I need locally. And I bought both 180 degree and 360 degree spray nozzles for the cloning machine as well. I'll get the 1/2 pvc locally. I expect to have that up and running very soon.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07V2N1N6L" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
And I bought a Hydrofarm BAC100A Xtrasun 1000W MH/HPS Convertible Ballast (not the 'budget' model) to avail myself of Roots VERY generous gifts! Thank you, sir!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009I66I8" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Dang! I forgot I have a CT Scan later today!
Thanks again, folks!
I'm outtie!

I have looked. I can't find anything on why during pH solution 4 calibration, it locks on a number and I put my finger on the spot described to calibrate it and it flashes .9 like it should, then goes to flashing .5 when it should be locking onto 4.
I don't get it. Damn!
I'm sure I'm not getting a good reading and that second plant on the right side is looking worse today than it was yesterday.
*that picture is from yesterday*
Damn!
I should have figured out Lockout before being prompted, thankfully by misattribution @Floyd [insert] Mister G (apologies, Mister G!)! It just didn't come to mind. I was stuck on a deficiency.
I'm going to try and bump the shipping up to get the pH Pen here sooner. I saw that option but I have 2 items in that order and I'm not sure right now which one the speedier shipping is being offered on. I'm hoping it is the pH Pen.

I did successfully bump the shipping...
but, I still don't know which of the 2 items it applies to .

On a positive note:
That bulb-seal in that sped up order and this...
*everything to the right of the brown bag and excluding my old 4" inline fan, and the medicine bottle with hardware for my vertical reflector and the speed square, that is *
12 feet of 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch Aluminum angle and 25 feet of 1/2 inch PVC...
3way 90's (going to have down leg on each corner this time where the last one teetered...caps to close the legs to keep the pressure from escaping), and extra T's for the added cross bars.
And, all new Stainless Steel hardware (I'll use packing tape as a sort of Mylar layer like I used to use in Aviation to prevent galvanic action (corrosion))...
is the new Cloning Machine II.
Oh, and Diatomaceous Earth, just in case!
Here's to look up and forward!

This is a pleasant surprise, although not entirely unexpected...
This...
according to Amazon had a delivery date of "April 13 - April 20".
This afternoon I got a text message from FedEx. The message said they had received a shipment and that it would arrive April 3rd. I didn't know what the shipment was, what was arriving April 3rd. Amazon just emailed me to say it was the order above, a Hydrofarm BAC100A Xtrasun 1000W MH/HPS Convertible Ballast, 120/240V. I only know because the FedEx shipment number, the un-associated # I received hours ago, now matches Amazons.
This morning is looking up already!
Now, all I need is some living plants to put under it!

WHAB Warts & All....
Well, they're still alive, it seems
I checked the pH with the untrustworthy, discontinued Bluelab pH Truncheon I tried to save and put back into service.
I feed at 2pm/8pm, 2am/8am. I checked the pH just prior to 2pm fill... it's was reading 5.8 (I suspect it is higher as I don't see the color of the plants improving, BUT do I adjust it down the other way and wind up too low? )...
...but,
When I get the new Bluelab pH Pen - which I hope they don't discontinue and leave me stranded again - I'll see where it is sitting and I 'may' empty the reservoir, fill it with water softened well water, get the pH in control and flush the plants for a day.
It's not a nutrient problem (although that white slime still has me puzzled. I've looked for it again and it hasn't occurred but that one time), it is an uptake (lockout) problem as Mister G properly identified!.
Photo Day - Veg Day 6:

WHAB's Completely Unrelated BUT Positive Note...
On a completely unrelated BUT positive note: ( )
My nearly 20 year old factory race car (2002 Camaro Z28) - that needs tune-up (nearly 70,000 miles since last tune-up), an oil change and its tires rotated *really just noting it needs a tune-up and oil change*) - is stilling getting GREAT gas mileage. This was mixed city and highway driving, which makes it even better!
BUT also, $3.19 per gallon!
