Hello there , I've been having problems with my kk the past couple years. they do fine in the 5 weeks veg but when they get trasfered to bud they start going down hill. I have 2 different grow places on 2 different foods, set up and everything else inbetween but they have the same problems about the 3rd week in. They start turning yellow, have rusty spots on older leaves, the yellowing seems to start from top down and old growth in the middle. Ph is 6.6-6.9 ,res temp 65, 10/ 1000 watt hps plants are 5 ft tall and 4 feet wide when this happens. one place has food at 1000-1200 the other 1400-1600 to see if it was a diffeciantcy. I flush every week with flora kleen 4hr then run water for 12 hr. flush that out then water, food,floralicious, humic fulvic , cal max ,bud blast and zyme . Mabey its the plants the strain are very old 10yrs. Any ideas anyone thanx!

ok ill start by saying im a little hydro illiterate but ill add my.02
it dosnt sound to me like your doing anything all that wrong. your Ph is a little higher than ideal, i think ive read that Ph for hydro should be lower than for soil.
id really like to see some pictures because im wondering how bad the yellowing and dying leafs are. if you cant take pictures, have you seen the threads https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/157345-have-plant-problem-check-here.html and https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/38772-guide-diagnosing-plant-problems.html ?
if you can find a picture resembling your leaf damage we may be able to help you better

as for uploading pictures; once there on your computer go to "go advanced" and click on the button that looks like a paper clip, its easy to figure out from there

Mine did the same, almost exactly as your explaining. i had settled on people saying as you go to flower your plants will just do that, yellowing is normal and whatnot. i dont believe that today, but at the time i just settled for that. in the end, i was cutting to much nitrogen for flowering and trying to hard to load for blooming. try not cutting back your N so much when you go to flower
I've been adding 150 ml of worm juice every three days with no effect and there eating well 400ppm per 24 hr. My res also goes down 20 liters a day with 8 plants
