EBB/Flow ?

Okay heres the situation, I Have the plants in their fifth week of flowering and they never really did very well in this room for some reason I'v etried everything. although the buds are getting bigger the leaves look like crap.
ANY IDEAS?
My ph is at 5.8- 6.2 the nutrients i'v edialed down to 1 1/2 teaspoons to a us gallon, from three i was using before and the water gets changed every other week with filtered well water(no chlorine).
I pulled by blower intake out because i think it was drying out the plants and now i just have the out-going blower and it seems to keep the heat down and keeps air moving fine.
the plants are growing fine they just look like crap. not all the leaves are wilting but a few and the rest have crappy looking tips only the new leaves look good.
I also raised my 400 watt hps bulb from 16 inches to about 20 inches from the tops of my plants
and i'm using Dyna-gro Bloom 3-12-6 .

I don't do this type of grow but suggest you check out the FAQ section.

Whats the ppms of the well water?You may have to get some hard water micro.The well water is missing something and locking out some nutrs the plant needs.Are you sure there's no bugs in the garden. Peace

The leaves look fine and healthy, theres a few burnt tips but apart from that they look fine for nutes.

What size rockwool did you put them in and did you put the rockwool flat on the tray and surround with pebbles or did you put down a layer of pebbles first.

Its just a guess but i think you put the rockwool down and then surrounded with pebbles, this would prevent the roots from exiting the rockwool and spreading out underneath. Also did you take the plastic off the cube, its just a guess but im thinking rootbound.

It looks like they may be a little heat stressed.The edges tend to get dry/brittle and then curl up,but just an observation.

If you're using well water, I'd say this might be your problem.. I recently moved to the country, and so now I'm using well water at 70ppm out of the faucet. My new seedlings in my botanicare 8-site ebb-n-flow all look rather puney and weak, but the only thing thats changed is the water out of the faucet, since the rest of the conditions are about 85-90% perfect. So, I'm planning on my buying some flora micro for hardwater

wait....isn't flora micro hardwater for ppm over 200 or 70 Ca. Does anyone know if well water lack cal-mag or something? I use well water and in my last grow I had some problems but I figured it was just because it was my first grow. My ppm straight from the faucet is 90 I didn't think it was a problem at all.

when in doubt, flush it out.

Yea, they make a hardwater micro, but i got the regular FloraMicro, because i think my water is lacking in micronutrients. I ordered it today, should be here in 5-6 days.. btw, i think my water is very soft, though i've never tested it.
