Alrighty Im getting ready to flowe but my oldest three plants are having some issues and I was hoping someone could recognize them since I cant get the pics to load on the stickied troubleshooter. So Im using a 1000 watt hps Im using GH nutes but Im neglecting on the nitrogen at the moment. There are three plants in one 5 gallon bucket. Im wondering if its nitrogen deficiency, root bound, or maybe something else I dont know about. Here are the pics http://imgur.com/GYwX5RR,wxGGtKT,sovMC3z Thanks in advance for your help
New around here wondering what could be the prob here.

cant see whats going on in pic try taking out of hps lighting then take pic but if you have 3 plants in a 5 gal pot thats your first problem they may be root bound and hungry....
best to take into good lighting then take a step back and snap a pic of the whole plant....

Alrighty here are some new pics without the light on. As you can see I got a lil yellowing and droopy leaf. Is it possible this is from not enough air or just the root bound starting. And if so can I successfully trim these roots and get them into their own buckets? http://imgur.com/CRhoKCr,RIj27Nu,XXHVAWh,0aCBzWv

Aerate your soil first off. Use a fork or whatever to till down an inch or so and don't worry about any roots. Then a 1/4 strength feeding. You can cut the roots loose with a very sharp CLEAN knife. Wipe the edges and blade entirely with rubbing alcohol. Avoid the central roots but where multiple plants tangle? Cut them gently apart, do not pull them apart. Each root you cut will form 2 to 4 new tips and you will make them stronger in the long run. If doing this do not feed or water. Do prepare the new medium by watering well the day before. Then transplant and do not water or feed for several days.
Doing so (feeding or watering) too early is where so many transplant screwups occur. There is a degree of shock to the plant but nothing they cannot easily overcome if it is done properly.

They look hungry...personally I would take clones from all 3 keep them labeled then flower the 3 in the bucket while vegging the clones in separate pots them if any of the ones in the bucket are male cut it and hope for the best while concentrating on the clones that are female....

been a long time since I did hydro and my water tested at like 25ppm out of the tap so not sure what to tell you on that. ph is best around 5.6-5.8 at least thats what I found. you should get a meter
I do not. Sad really lol. I know my base water is around 600 ppm after nutes i could be reaching 1000 to 1200. my ph is right around 6.0 always. Im using well water that my pants can veg in with no nutes at all and they do well
