Looks like I'm late to the party, Subbed!
How did the flush go?
Our rooms are similar in equipment. Good choice on the 20amp circuits, I use them as well for 1000w digital ballasts and 2 of them draw only 8.3 amps. Plus it keeps my lights off of my 15amp circuits that I use for other stuff.
Hey bro, opinions are like a$$holes\\everyones got one! lol But if you want I'll give you mine.
I think you have nute burn plus toxic salt buildup. Let me explain. I noticed you like to keep the soil a bit dry, plus you have constant air circulation, dehumidifier and AC (awesome setup PS). These things take moisture from the air, from the plants leaves, roots replace that moisture- right we all know that. So as your soil is drying the EC level increases, your saltiness increases. Like taking a cup of salt water from the ocean, as the fluid level decreases with evaporation the EC increases. Roots don't like that- they stop uptaking, various nutes start to get unabsorbed, its becoming toxic. Then you hit it with your water, that only dilutes whats already there, the plants are playing catchup in that window of diluted salts. Soil gets dry and salty then fed again, maybe with extra to fix the deficiency. So ya you have deficiencies but mostly because things are not optimal underground for the roots to thrive. These plants are crazy resilient but waisting some energy trying to fix themselves.
I think you said you ph at 6.5? I find that a bit high, especially when handheld pens have a +- of 0.1 so sometimes 6.5 can be 6.6 and if you've ever said 6.6 was close enough, you get where I'm going.
As a rule when I add additives I reduce my base food. I've never started past 50% full strength with a new additive or enhancer. Never gone above 75%
I have a completely sealed room, no air in or out. So I cant comment on CO2 consumption.
Awesome grow! Going to be a great harvest

Next cycle will be better! I have learned SOOOOO much thanks to many of you!! Enjoy the pics....hairs haven't receded in the slightest yet, still packing on hairier and hairer by the week. Thinking they will start receeding in the next 7-10 days. Then for the swell! Some of the colas are gonna be fucking massive!
