Just took some more pictures of the girls and they seem to look fuller and healthier (hopefully).
@Burr, do you suggest I should start flowering them in the next few days? I want to make sure they aren't being stressed when I flower them AND to maximize yield in the room I have.

Tubing is your friend!xburninbluntzx

had similar problem before;turned out the tap water was hooked up to a water softener which removes some minerals (calcium and magnesium) and exchanges it for salt. if the tap water in your area is hard there's a good chance your home or apartment uses a water softener. just something to consider. plants seemed to only have a problem with it when small; as they got bigger it diddn't effect them as much

@burnin Not sure if there is a water softener hooked up, I'll have to go explore and find out.
@burr Will definitely look into getting some drain tubing installed.
Also just switched the girls to 12/12 and was wondering, when is the optimum time I should switch the nutes to bloom fertilizer (Dyna-gro Bloom)? I was thinking in about a week to allow the girls to go through their growth spurt. Also, I've been unsuccessful in finding reliable information for a feeding schedule using bloom nutes (specifically for dyna gro's bloom). Any recommendations are welcome.

I would make the full on switch to bloom nutes. My schedule is RO water, 6ml bloom, 4ml protecK, then adjust till 420ppm and 5.9 PH. You will need to make frequent rez changes to keep them happy. They will consume a buckets worth of nutes quickly. If you have magpro from dynagrow you can add that in at 1 or 2 ml per gallon, I have not been using it lately.

Here's an update with on the girls. Day 42.5 and Day 1 of flowering. There still seems to be an issue with two of the plants. Still not sure what it is or if its even a big problem!

Day 3.5 of flowering!
Flushed the res's and changed the nutes to Dyna-Gro Bloom nutes at a ~420PPM and a pH of 5.8. I also switched to the HPS bulb. Here are some pics if anyone cares.
