Someone help me save these beautiful girls!

I have 2 trainwrecks in dwc buckets. Begining 3rd week of flower. Following the GH trio chart @ "light feed" recommendations. Had a calmag issue early on but that was fixed quickly.

My pH is set at 5.8pH and ppm was between 970 ppm- 1000 ppm max. I adjust the ph 1 time the day after res cchanges and it normally stabilizes after that never going over 6.1pH or under 5.8pH and my ppm drops so theyre clearly eatting.
The only thing different is i moved one plant under an ac infinity evo 6 18 inches away at 70% . I went on vacation for the weekend and came back to this yellowing on the upper fan leaves. Thinking maybe early light stress? But idk because the second plant under the same mars hydro fc-e3000is having the same problem but aloottt less for her. Here are some pics. Its mostly the upper growth but not exclusively.



Any advice would be appreciated! Ok




Its not very clear in the pics but there is severe chlerosis or however you spell it where the margins on alot of the top fan leaves are fading and the veins are still dark green.
Side not. I have just noticed some of the top bud sites closest to the light are looking a bit "spindly" looking. And im noticing the chlorosis thing is very apparent towards the top but i am also seeing it a bit in the middleish area and a few at
Its hard for me to capture the "fading" i think might be bleaching but here it is. Its towarde the ends of the fan leaves and its just fading to yellowing. Im now realizing i think i have 2 problems as you can see in the pics with the bad chlorosis. These look like 2 different problems.









Any input? Will definitely be backing off on the light ppfd a bit atleast for now. But anything on either problems? Happy growin yall!

Looks like too much light. If the growth in the shady areas looks healthy I’d back the light intensity off

100% spot on for the top growth. Theyre like inches away from the light i have and i literally have no more space , the light is all the way up to the top of the tent! As for the bottom, the whole time theyve been in the buckets ive been using the Flora trio. This last water change (week 3 flower) for some reason i decided to try the "lucas formula" route and cut out the flora gro. Im pretty sure thats what was causing the nitrogen problem (what it looks like and what i think the bottom problem was). So i did a res change and added back the flora gro at the right ratio and i believe that fixed that problem. I just gotta figure out a way to raise the light even more now! Maybe taking away the ratchet straps and just hooking the light straight to the bar at the top of my tent. Thank you for the input though! Spot on my friend!

Google "supercropping". It's considered high stress training, but will save you from unneeded headaches when height restrictions reach their limit.

Good Luck & Welcome to RIU.

Thank you friend! These were 1. Being Saved from dieing when i recieved them and 2. Kept as mother plants which is why theyre sooooo big without any training. I was going to trellis them before flipping flower but i saw how hard it was without a seperate pump to change the res when trellised (Strictly for dwc) and decided against it. I will probably not be running full hydro again anytime soon, and if i do it will DEFINITELY be an RDWC system and the plants will have a screen foooorrrsurreee! Ive never supercropped but have used scrogs with greeat success! Thank you for the input and thank you for the welcome to the family! Happy growing!
