6-12/gal might be about right for LED lighting, you can try 7/14 next time if you want to try to push them a bit but if you see signs of problems, just cut back to 6-12.

Looks like one of the hs1 plants might need a little cal-mag or epsom salts...but they all still look pretty good.

Update:
Cleaned res with flora clean
Res change: 2/8/14
New nute amounts: 10 gal R.O. 70/140 micro/flora 10 ml cal mag 10 ml ph up
Ph : 5.7 stable
RH: 40 - 65
Room temp : 74
Canopy temp: 72
Res temp: 63.5
The four plants are drinking a gal of fluid a day, I will be flipping to 12/12 on valentines day after another res change the way things are going. There are so many roots when I changed the fluid out it was hard to hold them up. I did some super cropping and removed a few clones. I also grabbed the top of my last living red dragon. I'm hoping for the best. I put them into my aero cloning bucket with 2 gal r.o. .5 ml rapid start and a sample of extreme azos. Ph is 5.8 and temp is 65
SME when using florakleen am I supposed to add it to the old nute solution and let it run? Or am I supposed to drain refill with fresh water and florakleen then let it run drain again and refill with a new nute solution?

hey PM
ladies are looking nice!
for the florakleen, just follow the recipe on the bottle. there are 2 flushes: a "normal" and final. the normal is during the grow and you are right. drain, refill with RO and florakleen and run for a few hours only. then drain and refill with new nute solution.
to see what it does, right after you add the FK and RO measure your EC/ppm. after the few hours of flushing, you should see the EC/ppm go up as the salts are removed from the plants.

I do see some burnt tips but I don't know if it's new or old damage. They look pretty healthy other than that and that's minor.

A lot of the undergrowth was being hidden from the light on the H.S. Plants the leaves were soft and didn't unfold properly... 
and they have gotten kinda cold a few nights with our temps outside being below 20 degrees outside but never below 66 and res temp is pretty stable at or around 65
