I use Hydroplex for my bloom booster. By looking at your pictures, I'd say it's nute burn. Flush them and lower the nutes, especially if you add hydroplex to the mix. Work liquid karma in there too and you'll have a solid nutrient line up.

A good flush is definitely in order. Salt and mineral buildup caused by a number of thing, namely nutrients; needs to be flushed from your growing median. I like to use "Clearex" which is a salt leaching solution. I use 8-10 ml per gallon and run 3x the amount of soil.

Only other thing I can think of is that you are experiencing some sort of Nute lockout. This can be caused by irregular P.H, or over applying nutrients. Seeing how you followed botanicares program, I don't see over nuting being an issue. Just give it a good flush and you should be stylin

I've seen plants burn at Botanicares suggested dosages. I've found how I introduce the nutes to the plants to be key in how they respond to them. Slow and steady.

The Hydroplex will give you a PK boost in case you have a deficiency in that department, plus it has other good stuff to boot. Didn't notice the purple in your stems before, so that could be the case.

some co2 could help youre density of nugs, dried ice bucket whatever works...aside from a nute boost to help.

To raise your Ph, crushed oyster/egg shells or even crushed hardwood will work on your soil if you cant buy the ph (raise/lower) sulution. It is important to only raise or lower your ph by 0.5 at any one time, so to raise by 1.0 should be done by 0.5 one day and same on second. To put your plants through a dramatic raise/drop in ph, even when correcting it can have a severe impact on your plants.
Good luck an happy growing.

They look good. If you want to maximize your yield, invest in some mylar and make sure your plants are receiving maximum light coverage from all sides.
