I wonder if it is the temperature of your water? Your water is a bit warm compared to how I run mine, my water usually stays around 60-65 F. How often are you topping off your buckets? Are you topping them off? ( Not draining the reservoir, just bringing the water level up) If you are doing this, I do not recommend it. I let my reservoirs get about half empty, Drain it all, re-fill, re-nute and PH it again.
However i also have never used anything from Advanced Nutrients. I use Technaflora's BC line; BC Boost, BC Grow, and BC Bloom, ( works great from what i have experienced ) and then General Hydroponics Maxi bloom and Kool Bloom are also some nutes that I like. ( I prefer the powered versions because they are cheaper and dissolve fine in slightly warm water with some good shaking and letting it sit for about 20 minutes or so) One thing i have noticed is General Hydroponics line is strong, but man have I seen a huge difference in trichome production compared to just using the BC line alone. The BC line seems to work a lot better for overall growth.
This past time I used the BC line throughout my whole veg, and then I alternated every other week after week 2 into flowering between the two ( After completely draining the Reservoir's obviously ) I have definitely seen overall improvements between alternating the two in the flowering stage. I hope some of my rambling helps.
Edit : I use fairly large net pots, however what i like to do is cut the main stalk of the plant, take the whole Net pot, and just let it sit and dry out somewhere nice and hot. After the Roots are all dried out i take a Hand Saw and i CAREFULLY cut the roots right where they meet the netpot, using the bottom of the pot as my guide. After this, just grab onto the top of the stalk and diligently pull it out. You might have to work at it for a minute or two, but i have barely thrown away any netpots; the last time i bought netpots actually, was just for the fact that I wanted bigger ones.
