Hi Welldone. Welcome. I'm probably not that qualified to diagnose the problem, and I don't grow hydro. Tempted to think overfeeding- but hard to tell without pics. But before the cavalry arrives to ask you to post some pictures of the problem- I'll do it. Posting pics here takes a couple minutes of head scratching. Here is a how-to link.

Hey brother, that sounds like my dream set up there! Wish I had the space!
I'm also not the most qualified but I have got a little experience under my belt and hundreds of hours of research. In the meantime before pics are posted the only thing I could really point out is the humidity is a little low.veg plants deff do not mind a little higher humidity and even my flowering plants I have in approx 50% which I would to get to 45 but can't until winter.
