I thought I saw some mildew as well.
You said you monitor your ph daily...does this mean you adjust it with ph up or ph down daily too? If so in active hydro I've found it harms more than it helps to constantly be adjusting your ph. If you have been try a week or so of letting the ph swing. Not only does that allow different nutrients to uptake better at their optimal ph but I honestly think that repeated use of ph up/down seems to cause problems.
Heck just switch to Hempy buckets! I used to run NFT, ebb and flow, ect and have found that I get very similar results with way less work. I never even check my ph anymore and really don't need to check ppm although I do....while my plants ain't perfect they just quite well in Hempy.

Some photos the buds color gets washed out and looks very white, There is no mold.
Just look at the pix in my tent album, Some photos are taken with CFLs and no flash.
The flash makes the White out, I am no photographer....
I do my best.
I only adjust my reservoirs PH when I do a water change, unless it is extremely low.
I will raise PH at 4.5 if I stArted at 6.0 , It will be two days before it swings so much.
My PH never rises, it just falls.
water from my tap is 100 PPM and 7.4PH
So I always adjust my res down after I add my Nutes.

Added more photos to album.
All taken with CFLs on and HPS off.
(Camera set to CFL)
lots of hairs turning red, some nice crystallization.
Lots of fat calyx's too!
so I added 7 gr Epsom salt to my 10 gal res.
PH 6.3

yo bro to be honest it dont look that bad, did u say ur ph is dropping my ph always rises i lower it to 5.5 and let it rise to 6.1 and then lower it again how big is ur rez the bigger the better i have a 3x5flood table with a 35 gallon rez change nutez every 2 weeks, flood 5 times when lights r on and 1 when off, ur leaves r really green, i havent any problems in 3 years sometimes my leaves look a little crazy but it always fixs its self, oh yeah i keep my ppms up around 1500 with no nute burn, also i use 3part gh nutez with koolboom,florablend, floranector, maybe that helps to, i think ur good almost half way through right, just check ur ph everyday and keep it right at 5.8 makes me wonder why ur ph lowers idk about that, hope everything works out

I'm no hydro expert at all
that said, adding the magnesium will help that color and give her more luster.....

oh yeah always make sure u mark a water line on ur rez and keep the solution up to that line, maybe ur plants r eating up more nutez then water cause it to lower, idk let me know what u figure out u dont have any root rot do u

Thank You everyone for the accolades!
as a beginner I am very proud, without all of my RIU friends and others I would not have got ton this far!
I still have another female of the same strain in my veg over 90 days old.
If this stuff is. As good as it looks I will be cloning her and growing out a Mom for future clones.
It is not bushy like the one in the tent, but it's very healthy!
How long can you Keep a Mom?
Then I have 4 Sativa dominant females started July 9!
The two biggies are like bushes, hell not "like" they are bushes!
Two are ready for screen and two have been left to create a Mom and Clones.
when all that is squared away I have my order of seeds tucked away for when I feel really comfortable with growing!

I use 1 tea spoon per gallon of water. Also be carefull to over due the Epsom salt. Start small I always say, you can always add more. I'd go half or even a 3rd for now since your not to bad in a mag deff, so let's say your running a 4gallon tub bucket what ever 2tea spoons max and see. Please becareful on the cal mag. Plants need more mag then calcium from what I remember, please correct me if I'm wrong. so it's a hard lesson to learn if your just relying on a cal/mag bottle.

Please don't foliage feed, foliage feeding can trap nutes and moisture in the bud this late into flowering. You'll run the risk of mold or if not your going to taste once smoked. Just my 2cents.
