Yellowing before flower?

l veg under a 1k hps se. Keep it close, on mover, in cool tube not venting as in basement and winter, spring now. By the time they are big enough to flower they all are less green, l feed light but not that light. Check ph 6.4 ppm is nogo meter cant read that high, water is 550ppm ph 8 to 10. City water.
Usually when l bring to flower tent in about 3 days they return to a beautiful green, it doesnt seem to be hurting them, repotted up tp 7g plastic before flower.
Ive read so many threads but couldnt find anything about this, some say a struggling plant going into flower gives strongest effects and can get real strong.
Like l said problem fixes as my flower formula has 2x nitro as grow formula.
If anyone can enlighten me on this ld really appreciate it. Three in bottom corner are most recent. Top of three has been in tent for two days , bottom two just placed.
As an afterthought they stay green all the way till fadeout.
Was trying for a staggard harvest and got males so its not going as planned.20210420_235344.jpg20210420_235336.jpg20210420_235328.jpg

Tried stronger but doesnt seem to change, could spectrum cause this, from hps to full spectrum? Veg was using 444, moved to 745 from gaia to raw plus calmag which is 900 for a total of 15n, but 8n in flower mix, Cyco commercial. Im baffled.

lm thinking the hps even with the extra blue isnt enough, or lm doing something wrong. Sleepwalking and sabotageing myself. No clue, read hundreds of threads cant figure it.
 
was using spring water and ran into problems, other than the pre flower fade everything is on point. I just dont get it. Ppms are through the roof so l let them tell me its water time, no salt buildup, guess the bleach washes it away, ha!
 
I had a similar issue where I am. My water fluctuates between 6.2 and 8.4 pH so was mucking with nutrient absorption. I had endless issues with yellowing before flower and then they just looked shit from then on. I switched to collecting rainwater and it all went away!
 
Just potted up to 7gal, the ones l vegged in 7gal did same. I Repot and put in flower tent and green in days. Im cutting n in half and getting greener plants? Will chech out ro system.
 
Already starting to green up, day 3, more than 3 days, wasnt counting, so about a week to green up this time.
