First off. How many hours are the lights on? And is the room Totally dark. What strain are they? Are they an Auto strain? How long ago did you flip them?

What is considered a soiless medium? I use Coco Coire, I always thought that was soiless. Coco is supposed to be between 5.3-5.8 PH. As is Rockwool.

Ok. Here is a mistake I did once. I moved lights and such when I flipped to flowering. And I left one light connected to a timer. This made it where I almost always had a light on during lights out.
Just an idea.
