First the specifics of my setup:
FF Ocean Forest/Light Warrior (70/30).. Tbsp Dolomite Lime/gal
400W HPS (Hortilux Super HPS w/enhanced blue spectrum)
Mylar on 2 sides.. 4-Tube, 2 ft T5 fixtures on other 2 sides (blue and red bulbs in both)
Temps 80-83 during the day.. 73-75 at night.. humidity 30-45%
Both plants are 7 weeks from seed and feeding on the same schedule.. in 4 gallon pots they get water every 3-4 days and feed every other watering
Using entire Fox Farm line of nutes
2 fans blowing over the top of the canopy, not directly on the plants

The first 4 photos are my White Widow.. she is drooping and the petioles are red/purple.. Some of the leaves are twisting and some of the larger leaves on the bottom are clawing BAD.. they've been fed 3 times (starting week 5).. I started off the Grow Big at 1 tsp/gal (recommended dose is 2-3 tsp/gal).. they took it ok and the next week I stepped up to 2 tsp.. didn't seem to be any problems.. so the last time I got ambitious and gave them 3 tsp.. it looked like there is slight burn on some of the leaves but not anything major.
The next 5 photos are my Pineapple Express.. she is a fucking BEAST.. she took that 3 tsp and she LOVES it.. I had read others say that the PE is a total nitrogen whore and they knew what they were talking about.
I've been searching the forums and I've gotten some potential problems.. maybe my WW couldn't take the Grow Big @3 tsp.. maybe the roots aren't getting enough oxygen (the soil has gotten pretty compacted over time.. so I poked some holes around the edge of the pot with a fork.. haven't watered again since).. Pretty sure it's not pH.. everything that goes in is measured at 6.5 (digital pH pen)..

Any thoughts? Should I flush and start her on nutes at 1/3 or 1/4?106.jpg107.jpg108.jpg109.jpg110.jpg111.jpg112.jpg113.jpg114.jpg

I would venture a guess that your not running co2. I think its a combo of nutrient od and heat. if you ran co2 the heat you decribe wouldnt be a prob. i would run lights at night to try and keep temps down a bit and flush the afflicted plants several times.
