New to indoor growing

Hey folks, I'm new here and am loving everyone's pics and info. Seems like a cool community.
I haven't grown indoors for over 20 years and have been doing outdoor for a long time with hit or miss results depending on the weather that year and strains involved.
So I have decided to try my hand at growing 2 plants from a couple magic seeds from a bag. I'm a couple months along now and things are going pretty good considering it's new to me.
This is my setup.
A 3ft X 3ft X 7 foot tall space.
1000w MH for veg 1000w HPS for flower.
One plant in a 5 gallon and the other in a 7 gallon.
A peat, sphagnum, coco , perlite, kelp grow ,medium.
Iguana Juice Grow/Bloom.
6.5PH though I do go a bit higher or lower if I notice a nutrient issue.
Pink Kush X Sherbert

The 2 seeds seemed to produce two totally different phenotypes. One taller and a bit more sativa looking where the other is short a bushy like a pure indica.
Now at the beginning of week 5 of flowering the taller one is starting to turn more yellow with some leaves falling off while the other is going purple with no leaf loss.
It's been a learning curve but I think ots going well. 4 weeks to go.

My temps are about 65 at night and 78 when the lights are on. Both plants are the same strain just different phenotypes. The Sativa looking one has a bit of nitrogen burn. Has some of "the claw" but it's getting better after a week of straight water. The indica looking one is a heavy feeder while the other isnt which is probably why one is having a bit of nutrient issues. I have also moved the more sativa looking one farther from the light which seems to help.
 
I run my ph at 6.2 during veg then 6.5 for the first half of flower then 6.8 the last half. I find the acidity in the soil rises as ferts build up in the soil and this plan really works for me
