I have had grows in this exact setup that have yielded between 2 and 2.5lbs off 9 plants. Moved up to a different location and to the local legal maximum for providers in my area and this started happening resulting in 1oz per plant yields. That setup was very similar except there were tents, portable ac units, and a different water source. Changed nutrients added mg and or different cal/mgs. Changed soils. Put in an RO system and started the same process over. Got new strains from seed. Don't know what else to do.
Setups:
Returned to the 8x12 shed I started in 8x8 of grow space. Two 1000w HPS in a closed system. Tank CO2 I regulate with a timer and test to keep around 800ppm.
Soil I am back to using is just promix hp(just peat moss and perlite) and whatever that pulverized rock is stabilizes ph that I cant remember the name of going with limestone. Changed the amounts of the stone. Used a home grown all-mix soil and ocean forest at different ratios.
Pots: Now using six 7 gallon yield pro (like smart pots) and three 5 gallon regular plastic pots. Have also used 10 and 15 gallon pots. The bigger the pot the longer it has taken for symptoms to start but the end result is the same.
Nutes: Back to using Biobizz, just the grow and bloom. 5ml/gal (1ml/L) grow through most of grow up to double that in early flower and have tried using 3 and for times that. Bloom starts at the same dose then always goes up to about 3ml/L into late flower. Have tried humbolt farms stuff, general organics, and earth juice at different ratios. Earth juice was complicated with catalyst and crap that was brewed for 24 hrs with air stones which had the best yields but still crap. May switch back to that but wanted to get back what worked as much as possible.
PH now goes in 7.5-7.8 and runoff is 6.2-6.5. Different setups have been adjusted and not were within +\- .5 of those readings.
Temps and humidity are and have always been in check 65-80f and 35-60%. Have dehumidifier, humidifier, a/c, and blower for lights is temp controlled which I vary according to season.
Strains: now have a mix of Pineapple Express, Kandy Kush, lemon skunk, and sleestack. All but pineapple are 1st gen clones. Pineapple has been around a while, have had a bubba kush, AK-47, and Snow White also. The bubba was the worst and Snow White best with varying results in between.
Here's what happens (just noticed I can't remember how to attach photos on my phone will figure it out soon). But between wk3 and wk5 of flower from the bottom up leaves turn yellow and die off until by harvest the only leaves left are in and around buds. Main stems have been very weak usually needing stakes to stay upright and largely purple all the way out to leave stems. Back in this location stems are much sturdier and have much less purple in them and symptoms seem to be setting in later. Now in week 4-5 of flower 3 of the plants all different strains, but the only ones in the smaller plastic pots have begun to yellow and drop leaves. All the others still look like champs one I had to tie down as it was too close to the light@ over 4' tall. At this point would literally consider performing sexual favors to get this fixed.
