What's the water temp like? How high is the water level in the bucket? Are you using a root treatment? And, how much air are you giving her?

IMO your running too hot on the nutes. Raise the PH a tad to 5.8-6.0 (not a huge deal though). I run a recirc. type grow and not sure if its good ar bad but I keep the water level about a 1/2"-1" above bottom of net pot. I use a no-name nute mix so not sure how it compares with yours but have also used sensi nutes and they behave pretty much the same but pricey. Also I try to keep my res temp around 20c but thats getting hard now due to heat. Keep in mind I am new also but have kept great records of my last 5 hydro grows and have not had a big issue yet and have found that TDS levels at 700 (1.4 ec) but no higher seems to work well near the final few weeks of flower in my system. My present grow of Critcal Kush is 45 days old from seed and they are pushing 5' tall now (to tall lol) with great bud formation. I will post a pic. Also you really should get a thermometer, there $10 for a digital one in the kitchen section of any department store.
