Plants look sick, Need Help !!!

Sup GC
I noticed a little issue with my plants today and was hoping to get some help here.
Here is what I have going on:
Strain- unknown, it was seed from some really good hydro that someone had screwed up.
Nutes- Flora Micro and Bloom, around 800 ppm.
PH- 5.5
Ambient temp- 80* to 85*
Res Temp- between 70* to 72*
RH- 45%

I am growiing these 2 ladies in DIY aeroponic unit in a 4'x3'x6' grow box. I have 420 actual watts of 2700k CFLs and T-5 floro tubes.

This morning I noticed that the plants have started to droop a bit, and the leaves are curling under along the sides. Some of the leaves are also starting to yellow a bit also.
Here are a few pics. Any help here will be greatly appreciated

Re: Plants look sick, Need Help !!!

looks like too much nitrogen "the claw" have you switched to a flowering fert....time to back off the nitrogen ferts and up the phosphorus

Re: Plants look sick, Need Help !!!

I have been using a 2to1 ratio of the bloom and the micro. 3tbls of flora micro to 6 tbls of flora bloom in 7 gallons of tap water. The tap water has a natural ph of 6 and runs around 35ppm. It is well water not city water.
I am 27 days into the 12/12 cycle, and switched the nutes to bloom on day 1.
Should I back of some with the micro, and add a little more bloom. Or should i back off on both all together. The micro has the the higher nitrogen content while the bloom has the higher phosphorus content.

Thanks for your help bro

Re: Plants look sick, Need Help !!!

My opinion of the flowering cycle is Less is More over ferting in the last 4 weeks is usually a disaster and I have no complaints as to my yields

So what do you sugest? Maybe a 24 hour flush then go back about half streangth on the nutes? Or should I just cut back on the micro to lower the nute level?

Thanks for your help.

Re: Plants look sick, Need Help !!!

Fortunately your on top of this, and its not bad ....if it gets any worse a flush will help

or just go ahead and flush now to be safe....flushing never hurt a plant unless it was already over watered for some time

continue with your bloom, cut back your micro all should go well

Agreed.

i would also look into a temperature differential.
people always think its just light dep that triggers budding (and the dropping and yellowing of sun leaves), but it it also triggered by the start of cool nights (or the simulation of such).

when i start my light dep indoors, i start an air conditioner at 58 deg for the night cycle.

this also helps to avoid spider mites.
