Man...that sucks. I quickly looked up some UK shops and they love to sell the pricey liquid ferts. Screw Athena, they buy their salts from the same manufacturers mix them slightly different and then sell them at 4x the price since they market to cannabis growers.

I know in the US if I buy dry ferts from mainstream agricultural distributers like, Growmore, ICL, Masterblend, Haifa, Southern AG, JR.Peters and Yara the price for 25 pounds each of base salt, Calnit and epsom would run me about $150 if I did a little shopping.
Maybe some of those products are in the UK, if not I would look to see who distributes to the professional agricultural market and try to source from them. Like I said, it's all the same shit in a bag....just with different labels.
Yes mate very expensive here, to get 4.5kg each of Athena Core, Bloom and Grow cost £450

Maybe slightly past their best but I do not think this was the cause. Prime suspects are recirculating nutrients in 60/40 or lack of CO2, must admit it has me scratching my head. Will do DTW this time and maybe turn the intake out take fans up when on minimum tick over (it was about 45%).

Yeah i wouldnt put loss of bud solely on lamps.. seems though you have narrowed down what the problems are or could be..

Holy f@$king assrape.....I though when you said £450 that would be for the 11.3kg bags.
