Hey folks, long time reader, first time poster. Wanted to introduce myself before asking some questions. Friends call me Rog, and that'll do here. Pleased to meet you.
This is my third crop, first two were dwc, 1000 Mh/Hps, in a small tent. First one went horrible, second one better, and I'm doing much better than before with this one. I'm doing it much differently and the details are below. MODERATORS please move to appropriate page if needed.

Crop king seeds Purple Kush @ OG Cali Kush X Amnesia Haze
Popped ten seeds, 5 of each and set them up in jiffy pots. I struggled with soil until I did some homework and some amending. Little over watering and too much love at the beginning but I worked that all out.
Transplant to larger pot harden off. More issues. Soil related.
Current soil is promix organic vegetable mix, fafard 3 n 1, perlite, sphagnum peat moss, dolomite lime and a slew of ph problems. First time in soil and I like the results, but it's a little harder to manage, as I prefer the ease of dwc, and my next grow will be in a RDWC by alien hydroponics, crazy expensive, but I like the ease. Any way, I flushed my soil mad, for like three cycles over a week, and finally got my run off water in the target ph. Since flushing my organic soil, I've been using house and garden aqua flakes a and b, drip clean, and 1/4 strength cal-mag by botanicaire.
They've had feedings before but this is the most steady and recent info since I got my ph in check.
I think I've ironed out most of the problems, however I suspect my ph is off after my feeding of the above nutes at 750ppm, ph 6.6.
They've started they're first week of flower and get full sun in niagara wine country. I can't change the rest of Mother Nature but I keep them out of the strong winds. Temps are sometimes high.
I kept the best two the the PK is the taller one with the obvious purple stem lines.
Please critique me in a positive manner because in all honesty negativity isn't help and you can go troll some one else. I appreciate your comments in all regards.
Here's a few pics, there is some holes in leaves, dying yellows I've pinched a few dead ones off already, mostly from the bottom. My feed schedule says not to add flower formula bud xl until week 4.
But my plants look strange and I'm not sure exactly what's happening, am I finally recovering from my issues and lockouts and this is good, or have I created more problems to address. My next feeding will be a mild solution to test ph run off and if it's good, I'll mix up a 3/4 batch 750-800 ( my meter is times 500 not 700) and the feed schedule says I should be around 900-1000. I know the pk can't take full strength as I've seen burn results in my first grow. Mentioned above.
Here's some pics, steer me in the right direction please.
These ones are pk, and the next ones og-Cali
So I know I've had some issues along the way but I'm hoping I can pinpoint the ones that are crucial and get moving. The PK has started her asymmetrical growth signalling the flowering stage has begun.
I'll mark this is the beginning of week 2 due to the growth on the PK.
I have a x60 scope loop to check for ripe when the time comes. But I wanna get there.
Thanks for your help guys.

Not sure pot size, biggest I could get for cost vs size.
Soil promix organic vegetable with local 3-1 from the nursery, dolomitic lime and sphagnum peat, I've learned to balance them but it was crazy hard. Dealing with fluctuations but trying to stay on top of it. It seems to have steadied out. I'll have more info after my run off test.
House and garden nutes, a and b aquaflakes, drip clean, and cal mag.
Full sun, niagara region they get rain sheltered under and awning during heavy rain to eliminate ph sway with the water I'm mixing my nutes with. Pots could be bigger, but there they are side by side.
