I think I'm finally ready to show my grow

Hey everyone, I finally have my grow up and running to where I'm ready to show it. I've put a lot up time into it, and there is still a lot of learning and tweaking to do but I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes.

A little about my set up:
It's approx 17' x 9'
-(6) 2'x8' steel tables that roll on a track, each table has (10) 4 gallon square buckets.
-2 tables per 40 gallon reservoir (nutrient changes are 55 gallons) for a perpetual grow, every 24 days 2 tables are harvested
Each table has (3) 315 cmh light, the 2 tables that are next to harvest has a 315 cmh removed and a 1000 de placed over the center of the canopy.
-nutrients: Total ppm around 900-1000, ph 5.7-6.2 using: prosilicate, epsom salts, Floranova bloom, remo astroflower, floralicious plus, pondzyme, garden friendly fungicide. I still have a lot to learn with the nutrient recipe, but last crop was 5lb for 2 tables, so if I can consistently pull that, I will be happy. But I am very interested in receiving some wisdom. Here are some pictures where you will see some plants with a blatant nutrient deficiency, or imbalance, which I am still trying to figure out.
I inject co2 with a natural gas burner. It's not a sealed room, I do have a small 4" inline fan that exhausts 24/7.
Daytime Temps are around 24C, and nighttime around 18-19C.
Water temp is typically around 19-21C
Currently there are 6 strains being grown, 3 are from clone from a reputable grower. They are great strains but very temperamental and I'm having a hard time getting them to bulk up, I think the nutrients are either too imbalanced or too strong. But the 3 strains that I have from seed do amazing with no issues. I'm tempted to kill off the hard to grow strains, but first I want some more experience with them to figure out.

Anyways, for anyone that is interested, here are some pictures.
It is currently day 55 of 70.
At first I didn't know if I wanted to see you show your grow.

Just kidding man. They're looking good.

No welding. Just drill a hole for the bolt to go through. The shelves are a standard commercial storage shelf.

The track is 1/2" aluminum angle, sitting in 1"x1/2" aluminum channel.
Flexible vinyl hose (that green on the outside and black on the inside stuff) for your feed and drain hoses that can slide on the floor.

The 2' wide tables are awesome because you can easily get in wherever you need for inspecting and defoliage. I estimate you can get up to 30% more efficiency of the canopy with this system.
