From looking at your photo's i would cut back on the fertilizer.
Inside growers who arent use to growing the strain they are attemptimg to grow usually claim two mistakes.
#1. Over feeding
#2 over watering
The rest of your room sounds fine
Good stable temps
good light
good distance from light
good circulation

25 degrees? that C, not F, right?
Temps for most cannabis growth should be 70's in the day
60's at night(or a couple of degrees cooler)
The difference between night time temps and day time temps should be 10 degrees or so

Greetings Budboy, Peace and Blessings to you and your loved ones.

The soultions you use in your system are your fertilizer. They are liquified.
Sea salts can be very confusing eg.... kelp, seaweed.

Hydroponics foods need to be accurately applied. One of the things that make soil attractive to many growers is the fact that soil is more forgiving when it comes to making mistakes than its hydroponic opposite...., like over feeding, etc etc.

I would imagine that you started your crop from clone..via mother plant ? or another source of clone? When planst are young with new roots they need to be nurtured. They are very vulnerablle to many things, including salts from your fertlizer. Since many of your plants look like they are well rooted they are most likely out of danger from rotting. The yellowing comes from Lack of N(nitrogen) the brownish spots look like an overuse of P(phosphorus)
I use soil because if you fuck up using hydroponics and make an error, you lose whole crop. Soil is a great barrier. IMO, your plants look burnt and deprived of Nitrogen.

Peace,

hey hey dai! thanx for the reply buddy!!! next time i think i will try pots!!!
yeah the light is a big problem the roof is only 6 foot tall and the light is at the roof where as the tank is a foot tall.... omg no space i hear you can get a bulb that doesnt give out much heat should i try using this if i have a heat problem ??
soooo how do i fix the lack (N) problem and the overuse of (P)??.... im soo new to this lol .. just trying to gather asmuch info as possible..
can you over water with hydroponics? i leave the pump on 24/7.... if i leave the plants the way ther are now will i still get a smoke from them or will the just eventually die ????????

Your light is ok if those temps are right. I see the big rockwool cubes ,is this ebb and flow or flood and drain ? if so the 24/7 is tooooo much. your rockwool is staying too wet. soil can be a buffer but at the first sign of problems with hydro flush with clean water to stop it quick. When soil starts to go bad it all over. That's the be ? now is water. Where are you getting water because boiling doesn't help. You should use only RO (reverse osmosis) or distilled water. If you don't have a PPM meter you need one. Water over 200 PPM's is hard water and should not be used unless your nutes are for hard water. You can leave it out to let chlorine evaperate if your PPM's are good.Youy will get much more help here try not to get confused. When in dought flush with clean water.

hey LOC the hydroponic tank does a constant trickle out ov 8 small holes.. dont know what this is called.lol but i heard this was suppose to kept on 24/7?? but ill flush with distilled water for how long? and i have just started 12/12 light...7 days ago will this affect the plants?
