Let me describe my setup first.

3 clones, 6 lights, 1 large fan, closet, Happy Frog soil from Humbolt, using pure grow with watering.

So whats going on with these babes? Tips seem to look great untill they get to a good size then they start to get light green. Check out the pics, ask any more questions, I would just like any helpful answers. Thanks guys in advance. Happy growing!

3-2-4, i put one tsp of it into about a 14oz cup about every 2 days or when it gets dry per plant. I couldnt tell you the ph level of the water...i know i need to get a kit but I do boil the water then filter it through a brita then let it sit for 24 hours. Also doing 24 hour lighting

We got a chart and then their are directions on the back of the container. The chart makes no sense to me...I was just looking at it and it said "15" which I do not know what that stands for (ml?). The directions on the back however state all sorts of mixtures between 1-2 tbs/gal

Whit kind of lighting & sizes? How close to tops of the plants are the lights?
Your fert seems very light on the N side - those girls will be wanting a butt load of Nitrogen & not much else. Also you need to use 1 1/2 tsp (half of that would be better) of your current nute. I've had really good success with good old Miracle gro for veg.
what is the temp at the soil when lighting is on?
BTW, welcome to RIU.

I think your plants may be getting too much nutrients. You can tell by how the leaves are yellowish, the only time you want that is when you're getting ready to harvest.

Also, is that a "Rhino" strain?

No, it is a clone of black berry kush which I am really excited about after seeing some pics in hightimes.

To be honest the first few times I added nutrient solution...i um...did not mix it with any water...just wasnt thinking i guess so could that be the problem arising now?

No carbon dioxide, humans need oxygen to breath but plants need carbon dioxide to grow. The cool thing is that plants exhale oxygen for humans to breath, and humans exhale carbon dioxide. Its called photosynthesis. try spending more time with your plants so they can inhale your exhale.
