hey riu, just chuckin up a few pics to see what you all think. these girls are all royal queen special kush #1 grown from seed though they have been cloned for my nxt grow. Along with some big bud #1 im gonna test out also.

my setup:
-4 plants,
-600w hps in 6inch cooltube(i put another 600w in cooltube in there the other day but unfortunately temps where a tad warm, i also have a 250w mh/hps, anyone think thats worth adding?)
-1.2 x 1.2 meter tent (4x4),
-recirculating system, 60Litre reservoir, feed drip lines, air stones and the usual stuff,
-this 100% perlite,
-feed 15 minutes of every hour during day, three times during lights out,
-odor sok (dont any one diss it, it works a charm lol) to six inch exhaust with passive intake,
-AG Grow Bloom nutes (AUSSIE brand),
-ph i set too 5.5 and adjust back to that when it reaches 5.9 (usually about four days later),
-temps range quite a bit but never over 30c(which to be honest i havent seen any problem with) usually sits 20c~ lights off and 27c~ lights on.

these plants are 4weeks into flowering howerver over the last fortnight they started to show signs of a defficiancy that i cannot exactly put my finger on. ive added cal/mag and a small amount of pk 13/14 and has seemed to stop it as far as i can tell. the symtoms where as follows:
-larger older fans yellowing then gettin brown spots and eventually dying,
-large amount of new growth had yellow tips, just the tip only.

i think ive solved this but if you do happen to know what it is let me know, in the following pics you can see the early development of it and and a more advanced stage of the defficiancy.

this is my very first attempt at hydro growing (previously grew in coco) so let me know what you guys think of my overall grow.

yes add the MH the last two weeks of flowering, don't have any experience myself, but I keep reading it should boost the thrics production near the end

and I belive your plant where just hungry, think about how big and beautiful they are ;) they need a lot of food at this stages, both to keep such big plants healthy and support the Bud production, I would continue with the 13/14 as week 4 is where the Buds normally start backing on weight

I will try out the mh in the final weeks for sure.

I have extremely heavy water here which i have always used with out avail (unless this could be the issue) it comes out at approx 450 and ill set it so my actual nutrient solutio is at 1200 ppm. Is this enough or would you guys recommend going higher?
