1st Hydro Grow - Afgan Kush

Hi all this is my first hydro grow (sorta, grew 2, 3 foot plants that when flowed turned out to be male) now this time i order femenized Afgan Kush seeds from worldofseeds. I planted 6 seeds in rockwool cubes and in the end 3 died. I have 3 in 5gallon DWC buckets. I am using advanced nutrients products (Grow, Micro, Bloom) i started using voodoo juice halfway through. In the veg cycle I did nutritent changes every ten days. I vegged them for month and a half or so, till they were a foot tall and flowered them. That was a week ago, and today is the 2nd Flowering cycle nutrient change. I am going by the advanced nutrients claculator medium bloom (http://www.advancednutrients.com/nut...alculator.html) and am using everything on there minus trantula and piranha. I also used during the veg cycle 10ml of b1 thrive alive and the super thrive. I try and keep the pHs at 5.6. I am keeping them in one of those PVC 4x4 tents in a 5x 11 storage room. I am using a 400w HPS light, and used a MH conversion bulb for veg cycle. I am also using emerald shaman and colossal bud blast as flowering cycle foliar sprays. My camera is broken but hope to get it fixed soon.

Well i have 2 cases of bad news, the camera battery i ordered did not fit my camera, but more importantly, 2 of my plants seems to be heat burned? these two are smaller, thatn the third and some of the leaves are shrivlled, but one the top growth is looking alot better. the other, the bottom growth looks well, but the tops look like the will killed by heat almost, they were stunted and curled up. wish i could show pics. i put a thermometer in the tent and it was getting over 100 degrees. I put in another fan and a small a/c. (the ac seems to create more heat from the back when its on the ac mode, so i leave it on the fan). the Temperatures vary between 80-95 during the day. i have like a box-like hps light, and have ordered a squirrel cage fan for the light that is rated for 185 cfm. Do Y'all think that it will help it most? the tallest plant though shows almost no signs of heat burn, and its like 3-4 inches closer than the other 2 plants to the light
