Default Bud failure

Have been growing tomatoes indoors hydo now for 5 years. lot of what you have is correct but one glaring error. Here is what I shot for, and my tomatoes were planted 12/1/14 and are now flowering. I pollenate them with a electric tooth brush.

PH 5.8 - 6.2
EC 2.5
PPM 1600-2000
temp night 65, day 75
humidty 55-75%
lights on 6am - 9pm.
I do provide CO2 for more growth. not an issue for you.
lighting 2700K and 6500-7000K (red and blue spectrum).
water temp 70. (heat in winter, cooling in summer).

Your humidity is too low. also how much light in lumens are the plants getting? Need a meter, or lower the lighting which will increase the lumens. Are you pruning the plants? I do not know how large they are but lower leaves should always be removed upto the first fruit, but not a issue for you! Also a larger reservoir will buffer the swings in PH, EC, and temp.
Cheers, RS
