Six plants. I'm 3 weeks, 5 days old into this grow, from seeds - 4 orng kush and 2 bag seeds. Started in 6-pot bubbleponics system and grew like gangbusters for three weeks! Transferred into 5 gal DWC buckets at 3 wks. Grow room is a small closet with about a 2.5' X 4' footprint.
ph- 6
Nutes- Humboldt grow, bloom, and micro at about half recommended dosage. ppm TDS reading currently 500-600. Water changes once/wk. I did put in a light dose of CalMag two days ago.
Light: 400w HPS - 18/6
Temp- 72-78, Osc fan blowing just across the tops of the plants.
Root mass looks white and healthy except for some small to moderate tan discoloration in places. The foliage is weird though. New leaves droop, get dry, and curl downward, mature leaves get really dry and "papery" although most of them remain a dark/dull green. New growth is coming in yellow now. If the plants were in soil, I'd say they looked like they needed watering, but the bubbling DWC water level is just below the net pots with the roots well into the water. Tons of new growth at the nodes.
Because of limited space I was going to switch to 12/12 at 4 wks to begin flowering, but the veg looks crappy. I am in information overload after reading two books and LOTS of these threads, so I have gone crazy.
I therefore have no idea wtf to do except roll a fat one, watch TV, and let nature take its course. 
Leaves look pretty good in the pics, but they're really dry; thought they were supposed to look green and all lustrous and vibrant. If anyone could give me some advice, I'd be so appreciative. Thank you Thank you. I am so trying to learn. Ok- book finished.
The end.
