I'm always curious to see what people can do with the Mars lights. I'm against them for the most part, but can be useful in some people's situations.
They lights are half the wattage they claim to start with, so your really only getting around 150w total. 37.5w per square meter, which is the start of where you want to be for an led grow but still decent.
The cheap fixtures don't give you as fast of growth rate and seem to never fatten the buds up. Adding more of them can help but is not really the solution.
The economics of cheap fixtures ends up costing you more in the long run than it would had you invested in a good light. Cheaper to get started, but inferior results and greater long-term cost. I only recommend low end/generic to people who are desperate. Don't just keep buying them when they break and reconsider before you make more purchases to cover a larger area.
Autos' don't like to be transplanted, they have ONE shot at producing bud and if you transplant it the thing will want to change directions and start growing roots, slowing production overall. If your going to do it make sure its early on so you can avoid any transplant shock.
Good luck on the everything.

The second and third look like they have a deficiency of some sort. Sometimes you just need to feed the larger plants more food to keep up with the growth. Although the third picture makes it look like a mild deficiency and the start of burn on the tips. Start with this
This suggest sulfur or iron
but this suggest maybe mangnese,zinc or sulfur.
The key to solving a deficiency is by where its occurring: depending on if its mobile or immobile nutrients.
If your over feeding you might have the start of a lock-out situation. Or maybe your nutrients are getting too old and solidifying in the bottle with select nutrients.
Are you watching your pH or ppm?

Sounds like you need to bump the feed up a tiny bit. I would give them a good flush (5x water volume) then start feeding a bit more and see if that helps. Watch those tips for any signs of burn.
Check the pH and strength of the runoff and see if you have a huge swing. Peat based mixes can get acidic if you don't buffer them correctly.

Or under-buffered. The point of the buffer is to prevent swings in the pH. If its dropping down that low there is nothing left of the buffer. Ca/Mg might help stabilize the pH.

I'm not too sure I've never had to deal with issues like that. I started with soil and soil-less mixes but then I switched to coco and haven't looked back since.
Stop adjusting your pH down at all and let the soil do it locally. Its suppose to swing somewhat so that it can get all the nutrients to the plant.

I think your starting to get deficient in some stuff, caused by the pH being off. Its the start but they tend to only get worse with age. The plant slows down and will under perform or grow strange over time.
This one shows the most

Hard to say specifically. Probably multiple deficiencies. Nitrogen doesn't seem like its an issue.
I've never tried Revive by Advanced Nutrients but some people swear by it. It seems you might benefit from something like that. Suppose to correct nutrient imbalances.

TrueHerbCrystal said: Can coco be used in replacement of soil? Or is it hydroponic growing only?
I've heard of organic coco growers but not sure exactly what they do to benefit from using coco specifically. I think they might end up using more liquid organic/teas than additives that break down in the coco/root zone. Your not breaking down the coco to feed to the plants like you would with the constituents of soil.
The benefits from hydroponic growing in coco has a lot to do with how the Ca/Mg interact with the pores of the coco to transfer nutrients to the plant more efficiently.

Purling is caused by phosphorus deficiency that shows up at the end of flowering. The amount of light and temperature can play a role in that. When I've had colas fall over and not get corrected the top turns purple but the bottom half without light stays green.When you trim the leaf away you can see the green spots that were just not receiving direct light.

The color you see is Magenta, the color that doesn't actually exist. Your brain makes that color in the absence of green light.

Magenta is the color of the light. Do you have a camera with white balance or photos under regular light? Just turn the LED off for a minute and get a regular lamp in there.
