This is my buddys first time grow...

there are 16 females....about 4 weeks into flowering. All in 3.5 gallon pots, organic soil....currently under a 1000watt HPS(in a reflector box)

room temperature is about 78-82 degrees...sometimes it reaches 85-87(which i know is a little warmer than theyd like) Been giving them nutes....about 5 weeks ago i switched to the blooming nutes(bio bloom 1.1-2.5-2) and top maz bloom stimulator. I give them 2.5ml per liter of water The Plants themselves are about 26-28 inches tall and loaded with flowers(buds)

everything was going great...but lately nothing seems to be going right. All the white hairs on the plants are starting to turn orange and the buds are beginning to fill out....however....the smell is not that potent. I can barely smell any odor....and there are 16 plants loaded with buds. Does this mean i have poor quality weed? Also....leaves are dropping by the day....the leaves have gone from dark green to a lighter green (which i assume is some sort of nute burn....but i only get them nutes once-twice a week???)some of the leaves have gone so far as turning bright yellow.....crinkling up...and just falling off the plant. A few of my plants barely have leaves on the entire bottom half...they are just falling off...they look like umbrelllas!! What should i do?? Stop giving them nutes? How often should i be watering them? and how much water should i be giving?

and what about the odor? why doesnt it smell? the original seeds came from really good marijuana....the plants are moist and loaded with crystals....yet the smell is very vague.

so does anyone have any input? Is my light too strong? should i not give my plants nutes? should i give them more water? is my weed going to be poor quality because there is barely odor?

any feedback would be appreciated

ive had that problem,i then flushed the soil untill it drained out the bottom,you dont want to flood the plant so that all the perlite floats to the top,you then give them about 1/2 strength nutes ive even given full strength after the flush,but i dont know what your useing for nutes or soil,and are you ph,ing your water.in high heat the plants uses nutes and water differantly then cool temps so if you have big swings in temps it can cause you to get to much of one not enough of another,but there are people with alot more experience with me that might have a better answer.
