Have you thought of looking at the plants while there not under the light? HPS while under the light makes the plants look yellowish, while pulling them away they turn green again, I guess what I am saying if its what I think it is its just the HPS yellow refection on the leaves

It's just a lot brighter under the lights so they don't need to have as much chlorophyll. That's my guess anyway. If you raise the lights it will be more even.

Can u take a pic of the buds? U say is in week 5 of flower right? Now that i c those pics of the leafs it looks like she had a nitrogen excess but now during the stretch and actually been flowering for 5 weeks she has used most of it and thats a good thing, to much nitrogen interfere with flower development and can slow down flowering or make the buds small., U should lower the nitrogen doses in your feeding schedule, i said n excess because those healthy leafs are way too dark green. Can u take couple of pics of the whole plant? I wouldn't worry to much about those pale leafs., How many weeks of flower it say the breeder that strain is?

@jimmykimmel Have you ever considered rotating them?

I used to flower in short spaces and i did it kinda like you did, i would run 4 plants under 3 1kw HPS and 2 in between (16 total)

I moved 2 pots to the next row every day. Basically every two pots spends two days under hps and two days in the shade.

The center of the hood usually has the most par, so when you rotate you hit both sides of ALL plants with par galore. Be prepared for a painfull back and more trimming/watering though

You're right I did have a problem with nitrogen, the tips of a few started to curl. I don't know why it quite a few of the people growing this strain have started having nitrogen problems can't figure out why it's all happening. I got some soil testing kit and tested it and there was an abundance of nitrogen so I lowered it. Since they it has recovered apart from the ones in the middle are still pretty dark. Will take some pictures soon thank you
