Allright from what I'm thinking it looks like a heat issue. recently I put my other 600 watt chamber next to the double chamber. at first without the single chamber my temps were awesome(75-79), then when I put the other chamber right next to it the temp started to rise. I'm thinking I need to move the single chamber over and put a fan blowing the cool air from my basement into the area where the passive intakes are. Here's some pics of what I'm talking about.
Here's the sick girls:





Here you can see where my temp sensor is. Kind of far from the top of the plants.



And here is a shot of both my chamber. The intake is on the base at the back of the chambers against the wall:

the hottest at the sensor is about 82-83, but im guessing at the tops of the plants it gets to 85-87ish max. the current temp b4 lites turned off was 81.8.

That was a thought of mine also. I usually let the plants tell me when to water. Usually every third or fourth day. When I watered with the mychorrizae, kelp and liquid karma mix, they didnt really use that much water for a week. 2 days after i fed them the mix they started to act all weird. that is also when i added the second chamber, so i dont know which of these two factors played a role in the plants acting all weird. I let the top light plants get pretty dry b4 I watered them on monday. They seemed to like it for a day(leaves standing up) then they went back down like the bottom chamber. Maybe the nutes I fed stunted it? maybe heat and nutes? i dont know
