Ok got a more zoomed in photo of the bottom right leaf, as well i took a picture of the nutrient bottles…bottle #5 hasn’t moved at all. It’s day 13/14 of early veg…I looked inside and made a slight adjustment to the nutrient bottle #5’s hose it looked like it could have kinked.
@Stephen thoughts?

Sounds about right as #5 is cal/mag, and those spots are a deficiency

Hopefully it was just kinked a bit

I just pulled abit more of the hose out and relieved the pressure so it isn’t pushing against black hose anymore.

That’s happened quite a bit. Luckily that’s all it was

@Bloodydrake one thing I noticed others doing (and started to do myself) is marking the bottle at the current fluid level.
After you do a drain/fill it will feed from the bottles shortly thereafter, I think within an hour or so. That’s the time to watch for it to take from the last 3 bottles specifically (it does so in succession, not all at once).

I’m trying my hand at 8 colas for the Grobo on my Blueberry:
I left the 3rd node on each side = Four: When the side shoots get to where I want them, I’m going to top each one again: I’m Extending the (LateVeg.) until they look good to me to start Transition:

I also turn my bottles 90 degrees either direction to get better view of nutrients

Hey @Bloodydrake,
Your nutes are only dispensed after a successful drain/fill, and bottle #5 only if the unit senses you are using RO or distilled water. You can shoot me an email to support@grobo.io and I can dig a little further, but I agree that looks like a lack of calcium/magnesium to me. If you think your line was kinked but fixed now, drain/fill and see if your bottle goes down at all this time.
Cheers,
Stephen

I absolutely love the idea of turning your bottles sideways. I can see the levels so much clearer this way. I don’t mark them, but what a cool idea.
I love this community!

I was thinking maybe if you put a clear line down a portion of the sticker we could keep the bottles facing forward to show those fancy labels and still view levels easily. Just a thought 
or making the white background clear could also work

ok i’m gonna turn bottles, do a drain and fill and send in a service request so you can take a look and see 
I have been using RO water exclusively so sounds like it should have added some
thanks everyone for the help

Last day of Early Veg
I marked the bottles turned them did a full drain and fill and submitted ticket…now to wait and see I’ll check in a couple hours and see if bottle level moved.
Root system seems to be coming along nice

update! after drain and fill the 5th bottle lowered and it seems to be working Stephen confirmed the amount was what he was expecting if the kink was the issue.
So we’re back on track and ready for late veg

One thing I forgot to mention – when cleaning your grobo (between grows, or if something spills) be mindful of those marks on the bottle.
I wasn’t, and wiped a bunch of the marks off when I last cleaned the units. 
Have pictures but that was an oops moment.

early morning things are looking OK, older leafs black and brown spots are becoming more prominent but I can 't see any forming on upper leafs yet. I’m trying to determine how many nodes…I think the 4th? is currently developing, the bottom one where early leafs formed seems to have more then 2 branches but all were very small , perhaps one more node before topping, at this point the main stem seems small and with the cal/mag deficiency I’m thinking I should defer to next node before considering topping.

U could top now if you want. Plant looks healthy enough to top, just give her time to recover
