About 25c usually
OG's Hi Brix Organic: LEDs, Perpetual Harvest
It's most likely the ozone generator given the current information. This is quite a learning experience and a bit of a detective story.

Looks like most of the possible elements
Air, Water, Soil and Environment have been
looked into, only missing the last unknown
Water, Check — Good
Soil, Check — Good
Environment RH Temp, Lights, Check - Good
AIR Still Unknown

Ozone should not be getting to plants anymore. I think level was
Too high before and it was making it to the intake holes in the cabinets.
Hopefully that was the problem.
Here are the current bloomers

What a difference between those that got ozoned and the one that didn't.

Not a single one of them "didn't". Every one of the plants liked green and healthy when they went into bloom then changed to angry.
It just seems to get worse and worse as the plant gets older... cumulative damage i guess.
At the moment I don't think eah I don't think any ozone is getting to the plants. Hopefully this fixes it. Went back and checked when I replaced the old tiny ozone generator with the big one - problems started shortly after that... looks like it's figured out finally. Will confirm after a few plants run trouble free i hope.
Thanks for everyone's tips and suggestions. Too bad I wasted so much time trying everything else first...

I feel bad for not catching it too.
Again, it's all about the environment...just this time is was about air quality. Who knew?

Never a wast of time, I will log and remember this issue/information and I am sure will be of
help one day, THANK YOU.
A waster of time? Not even close!
In my second grow log I took 6-8 months to figure out it was a water PH issue. My clones were in suspended animation rather than growing.
I'd looked at PH in the first grow, came up with an adjustment that worked, felt like I understood PH and my water water - then I switched to new soil and I rejected PH as ththe problemand stayed stubborn on that opinion for months, When I took water PH from 6.5 to 6.2, everything started to grow again! Now THAT was a wasting people's time
Thank you on behalf of those you will help in the future. Let's hope it's all better now.

Thanks guys I hope it's all better finally too. I used to grow huge healthy plants. Haven't had a good grow in almost two years 8-( changed everything trying to make it better. Didn't think the ozone that was not strong enough to smell would make it into the cabinets and burn the plant like that. Learned the hard way ;-)
For future reference it kind of looks like magnesium deficiency at first.

Bad luck the ventilation fan on the large cabinet gave up and the temps soared for a couple hours until it noticed. Plants a little crisped but not to bad luckily.
Replaced itback to normal now

Man that sucks, Happy to hear you found it fast
Been a bit concerned about this type of issue myself and have been meaning to
take the 45 min drive and pick up one of these, just for peace of mind.
CL Add follows
HLC-3 High Temp. Shut-Down W/15 Minute ON Delay
Rated for 15 amps@120 volts. The HLC-3 HID lighting controller combines the functions of the HLC-1 and HLC-2 to protect your expensive HID lights from hot starts and your garden from high temperatures. A high temperature shutdown provides insurance from crop damage due to high heat from ventilation and cooling problems. When connected to your lights, it will monitor your growing area's temperature and disable your lights if the maximum temperature you specify is exceeded. The HLC-3 will also sense a power interruption and start a 15 minute time delay to keep your lights from trying to re-fire during the cool down period. Comes with a 3 foot remote temperature sensor.
- a new controller would run $120 and we've got them for $35 a piece.

Also Edit for above post HLC-3 CONTROLLER
Nice feature is once the high temp (your setting) is reached it starts the
15 min delay and ALSO restarts the lights once the Temp falls -5 deg from the
set temp is reached, So it will maintain the non critical temp even with failed
cooling NOT SURE how the plants would respond but has to be better than FRIED

I harvested and washed and slow dried the critical kush and cbd Dutch treat. They came out great, nice sense buds but low yield due to previous problems. Got about 2.5 oz out of each though so no problems with making it until next batch.

Here is an update on all 4 currently in bloom.
Strawberry blue needs about 3.5-4 more weeks to get ready. Looking much much better than before when she was brown and crunchy.

White widow yield still looks low but they still have 3.5 weeks to go. Huge improvement on health since ozone No longer making it to the cabinet.

Amnesia haze with around 7-8 weeks left to go. Much improved health but yield likely to be low from previous discomfort

Here is the newest one in bloom. Only been 2.5 weeks since she saw 12/12. She is feeling great so far with no problems. High hopes indeed 
Thanks for everyone's help! Hopefully I can get back to growing well now. Before I bought the big ozone generator I had almost 15 years relatively trouble free hydro growing . What a pain in the butt that was...
