Tell us more on how you feed and which nutes of Fox Farm.

you mentioned “ just checking ph and it read 7 “ - if you are using a soil probe - that will be unreliable.

Here is a basic approach to Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil ….. it chimes in around 6.3 ( ish ) in ph right from bag - it is also heavily charged with nutes all by itself. So much so , it can power a plant alone. Without extra nutes upfront. It can run most plants for weeks on just water.

Fox Farm nutes are highly concentrated and their feeding schedule is excessive.

The following is my 2 cents -

Top Dress ( add more FFOF ) to top soil - water that in either with straight tap or ph to range of soil ( 6.5 - 6.7 ) to allow for any ph drift issue. You are locking out potassium ( yellow margins / tip burn ) . So suspect your ph out of whack or feed regiment is causing certain elements to be locked out.

By “ recharging “ medium with more medium- keeps shit simple ….. you are just keeping the medium charged as needed as plant exhausts it. Really that simple.

Fox Farm Nute line could also be used but most of the line is worthless…. All you need is 2.

Gro Big for VEG
Tiger Bloom for Bloom
“ Big Bloom “ ( not what you may think its for - does nothing for bloom ) its a mild ORGANIC solution for microbial life in soil ( micronutrients) . And will not carry plant alone.

I use grow big for veg and tiger bloom for flowering. I use 2 teaspoons per gal of water. I feed every third watering I grow in five gal pots. I usually water every five days or so. And give each plant 1/2 gal of water.my tent stays in the 70's with and average of around 38% humidity
 
Are you watering and allowing runoff?
Too much is worse than not enough in nutrients
Please show how you are measuring ph as well?

I use catch trays under my pots and water each pot till I see runoff in catch trays then allow water to soak back in pot ffof allows water to run right through and then soaks it back up.
 
Looks like they’re over fed and starting lock outs I would water with some good run off using plain water. Do that for two or so waterings and they should improve then add some nutes at 1/4 strength gradually stepping it up as you need to and don’t use nutes with every watering

I check water with a ph meter and dirt with a probe meter. Is there a better way to check ph in soil and or water. I use tap water but I let it sit for a day or two befitting using.

I used to own one of those
It was eradicate and unreliable
I learned I didn't need to concern myself with soil ph
Threw it out and never looked back
