Not enough aeration? Ph incorrect? Multiple issues?

Barneys farm gelato glue auto. In a 5 gal of black gold mixed with fox farms ocean forest. Water is PH'd at slightly above a 7, I have worked on bringing that down but I haven't yet seen changes except the leaves rose (maybe they needed a drink) she's under 300w of led that I have consistently moved further away. She is still growing great, however she is just now working on flowering and is burning like hell. This is about the 3rd day now since I first noticed.

I've been feeding fox farm trio, in very very small doses with a clean water in between. I've probably only fed twice, with half a tsp of big bloom and plant food I haven't used the tiger one yet. Even so, I have another going in the same mix with same feeding schedule and she is doing great. Which is why I cannot fathom why this plant is struggling when the other one was a FREEBIE genetics. I ordered cal mag in case that is the issue however I won't receive that for atleast another 3 days and I worry by then she will be burning like Canada. Any help?

You didn’t mention how long it’s been in the soil. More than likely it probably don’t need much for feeding yet but don’t waste your time on PHing your water in soil unless you know it’s super low just take it out of the tap and use it or you can let it set for 24hrs to burn off the chlorine if your on town/city water.

Its been in soil its entire life, sorry I'm unsure when I first threw down the seed it must have been around a month now. Maybe more. But I barely fed it at all. Like, half a tea spoon of big bloom and plant food into a gallon of water. And then next water it was just straight tap. Then another tiny feeding. I was going to cal mag it when I get the bottle, is that a bad idea?
