You may have high heat, you may be over feeding while at the same time needing some CA/Mg I would stop feeding base and just use the CA/Mg for a feeding or two and also double check temps are under 80
The heat was a little high up until today. It would hover around 77-79 but now its 73. Had a few non-aircooled hoods but now all of them are AC and the temps dropped perfectly. Still have to plug in one more 1k but that shouldnt raise it much. So yeah, definitely a possibility. I agree on the cal mag front, that is actually what we did last feeding. Straight H2O w/ CaMg at pH 6.0. Thanks for chiming in mon

yeah def heat they're taco-ing also here you go:
Thanks, already have it saved on my phone though lol

Your hydro looks like a lock out of cal/mag. Lock out either from mixing up nutes in wrong order or from too high ppm is my guess. If not that, some disease? Are your roots healthy and white? You clean your rez and change nutes at least every two weeks?
The dirt grow is harder to understand if you are in supersoil and only feeding with Organicare 5-5-5. Nothing else has been put on them? You composted your supersoil first? I'm seeing different issues in every photo and not coming up with the thread that ties them all together. In a couple shots they just look like they are fading early and need a little food, other shots they look possibly overfed and locked out.
Thanks for popping in Bugeye!
Definitely possible the ppms are too high, going to start monitoring the hydro solutions better. A disease was another guess of mine and no unfortunately the roots are not too healthy and we just flush it with clean h2o every 7-10 days. If we were able to we would be much more on top of it. We fucked up by scrogging the buckets but they were so big we didnt have much of a choice. But like I said, the buckets arent a major concern for us. We fucked them up a long time ago by not flowering them so we are just happy we'll be getting what we get. Still going to do my best to care for them, its just hard with the given circumstances.
The buckets and the soil girls that are all 43 days in get the following, only difference is the pH of the soil is slightly higher(6.3-6.6):
Advanced sensi bloom a&b(pH perfect)
B52
overdrive
cal mag(always first)
the ppms are usually around 1500-1700 which I know is high by most people's standards, but the person who gave us these cuts suggested this strength to us for bloom. Any suggestions on taking care of these buckets without having to lift them up
? We just planned to ride it out for the remainder of the grow.
The ones that are experiencing these problems are actually in sunshine mix and are being feed with the regimen above. I did not compost my supersoil first as I was told I didnt need too by the LGS guy. Should have double checked before blindly taking his word for it but w/e. Here is a link to the soil:

The soil plants having these issues are 2-3 weeks from finish. Think it is just natural fade? That was my guess. Didn't consider over feeding though to be honest, is that because of the burnt margins?
Im going to edit the post with more details I didnt have time to fit in earlier.
Thanks again bro!

Whats the PH.5.4-6.2, 5.8 is perfect and where you wanna be. I also say add Calmag+ to res. But you should foliar spray it to, about an hour after lights come on. so the pores on the plants are open and the lights help dry it. Keeps it from causing bud rot and powdery mildew.
pH soil:6.3-6.6
pH hydro: 5.8-6.2
Been adding cal mag for the past week or so. Slow improvement IMHO. Not a big fan of foliar feeding when they have buds, just a fear of mine. Thanks for the suggestions though
