I think you have a root issue. Severely root bound maybe or root rot. Possibly salt buildup in the media. More info would help though but that's where I'd focus my attention.

What's up with plant 4
Quick Question, Plant 4 in all of my pictures, it's showing signs of a nitrogen deficiency but it's not possible the last run off I tested was 2250 with a pH of 6.0 what else could be causing the leaves to look like they have a deficiency. Burnt tips I understand.

I noticed some of the leaves on the bud site are growing a little odd. Curled and almost deformed. Could this be a cause of heat? My tent stays 85 but got up to 95 a few days ago. Or do they look normal? Or could this be a sign of reveg? I switched from 12/12 to 18/6

Cal mag or nutrient Burn
I have 3 Automatics. I made the mistake of planting the into BioBizz Allmix, which is pretty strong for Autos. Strawberry Gorilla and Aplle Strudel seem to be fine. My Orange sherbet not so much. Is this Cal/ Mag defficiency or nutrient burn?
