31 days into flowering problems

Hi everyone, i am growing for the first time.
Strain: Strawberry
Medium: Canna Bio Terra with 25% perlite
Nutrients : Canna Bio Flores, Canna Bio Boost
Grow tent : 5x5
Light : 1000 watt HPS
Daytime Temperature: 24 - 28 *c
Nightime Temperature : 19.5 - 21*c
RH : 40 - 50 %

Throughout all my grow i never was able to feed over 25% of the recommended dosage for Bio Canna line without beginning to observe clawing and leafs tip burn.

I have fed once every two water at 15 to 25% strenght.

The plants are in a 10 gallons fabric pots since the 5th ish week of vege.

Everything was fine untill 3 days ago even though i could observe that the plants were not as green as they should but each time i would try and raise the nutrients i would have burnt tips so i always backed up and keep solution under 15 to 25%.

I always ph watered my solutions and water between 6 and 7 but never really monitored EC and PPM because in a 10 gallons i would had overwatered each time.

Since flowering the can take now 2 gallons of water with 10% run off every 4 days so i am able to do so.

Before the big problem showed i watered only water 3 days before with well water and did not ph it. I know this water to be around PH8 and 200 ppm which i know is not good.

So finally 3 days ago when i open the tent i've noticed major yellowing leaves on my biggest and tallest plant with brown spots. I gave them all water because it was the time with the usual solution. Being over anxious i made endless research and from what i have read i think it is a Nitrogen deficiency and a magnesium deficiency. I knew i had to test the PH to see if there was a lockout which i did.

Water used : 8 liters Distilled ozonated water with a PH of 5.8 - 6.0
EC : 0
PPM : 0

My run off was :
EC : 1480
PPM : 733
PH : 6.2

I have put 4 liters more of the same water with 8ml of BioRhizotonic (EC 95, PPM 53 PH 10.33) and the run off was :
EC : 1528
PPM : 768
PH : 6.0

I have also foliar spray all 4 plants 2 times with 1tbs of Epsom salt in 1 gallon of distilled water as the 3 others are also starting to show same deficiency but at a slower rate.

Any thought or advice will be very much appreciated

Thanks

That looks like normal yellowing that happens in flower to me, but I have never grown in the media you are using. I wouldn't be too worried if the rest of the plant looks good. :peace: :)

Yes maybe it does look more than the normal. The other pictures have dark spots and some brown spots. Maybe from the foliar feed? I am guessing now, but the pattern on the darkening looks like a foliar spray. I think you are on the right track with your research. Someone with expertise in the media will chime in soon hopefully. :) :peace:

They were like that before the foliar feed. Thanks Tessa very appreciated
