looks like the bottom parts are dying off just due to them not getting enough light why do you want 7 ft tall plants to begin with? what size is the the room the 1000 hps is lighting.

12/12 10 foot high ceiling I dont think its the light because i have my hood off and i drop the light in the middle of the room 5 feet of the ground then suround the light with plants 2/3's of some of my plants are dead at the bottom I only have 7 plants and this is a medical grow :) And i know I waited way to long to bud them but i have plants in my veg room half the size that looks the same im just givving them fish 5.1.1 and a cap of 0.10.10 per gall of water?

The meter photo shows how much light is getting to the bottom plant it should be enough light to properly grow somthing?

here is one of my worst in veg the light is lower then the top of the plant and only 2 feet away so i know its not reaching for the light i have done some thing really wrong here ?

your internode spacing looks fairly large like thay have stretched for some reason at one point in there life what type of light do you use for veg, but it hard to tell much as you really dont have any leaves left at the bottom of the plant, did the leaves go yellow and then just fall off or what exactly happened to them.

not sure what the problem is but it does seem to be happening in the veg stage and once your lower branches are dead there really is no bringing them back so it looks like you may be flowering palm trees for awhile.
but would suggest you try some different things on a fresh rooted clone or seedling to see if you can correct the problem seeing how it affects the lower part of the plant it may be due to a p or k deficiency alot of your leaves seem small and not nearly as big as they should be and if your not regulary using big bloom in the veg state also you should start along with your fish emulsion you could also try different soil.

my guess would be not enough nitrogen in vegg, reflecting worse problems in flower.

[using foxfarm big bloom 4 tablespoons per gall]

I got a feeling you need to reread that lable, thats almost double what I put into my girls feeding cycle.

Your plants are burnt, from nutrients, not light, nor lack of.

After looking at your pics, I'd clean all those yellowed leaves, all the dead hanging about, get rid of it. It only invites more problems.

I grow naked/verts also, but I put my plants on rollie carts to spin them, hell sometimes a couple times a day. But feeding 2oz's per gallon seems way high, I use PBP and use 1oz per gallon, and have to play with that with some strains, going down to 3/4's oz per gallon, then a 1/4 tsp of KaBloom in flower.

Also, running AC, you usually need to run a humidifier also as AC strips air of mositure. I prefer big tubs when tree growing, 30 gallon and up, nice layer of LavaRock in each. I didnt see drain pans under your tubs, you can do that, but I would poke holes down into my rootmass to get some areation and new nute pathways into the mass, the roots love being pricked up a bit.
Good luck!!
