By the sound of it ur overwatering them u should feed every other day around 200 - 400 mls per plant I'd let the soil dry up abit leave it about 5 days and then start the watering again but remember every other day !!!

"don't wait for no man he will only want 2's"

(everything I post is copied and pasted from the Internet and complete bollocks)

Oh Yh stop the spraying of the plants as the light will dry the leaves out turn them copper with spots on the leaves basically ur drying the leaves more every day by spraying

[sum1cull911]

How old are the plants?

[MEDEDCANNABIS]

you have to keep ph stable at around 5.5-5.8, so do invest in some sort of ph tester. even if its a color strip its better than nothing. start with that and we will go from there.
