looks like a magnesium problem, the leaves look thick and are losing color not blotting, id get back to right ph asap and if its still showing the same signs then adjust nutrients later

I use about one gallon of water when I water. I alternate between plain H20 and nutrient solution. My water is about a 6.7 out of the tap at <300PPM. When I add all my nutes to the water it drops the PH to a four something, so the last two weeks or so I've been using PH up. There were no signs of problems in veg. I flushed with Bush Doctor about a week before setting to flower.

Don't flush if there is nothing wrong.

I dont get why nutrients are changing your ph that much. When I add nutes my ph stays the same. Then I use ph down to correct from 6.4 to 5.9 (I'm in coco so it will be different)

The Fox Farm Trio, using the amount that the schedule recommends lowers the PH of a gallon about 1.25-1.5. I googled Fox Farm Trio and acid and this is a common thing, even on Roll It Up. Some people adjust the PH and others just let it go, but they might have more alkaline water. People seem to get good results with FF, they've been around for a while. Maybe it just didn't like the flush before flower. I'll skip it next time but I was following the FF schedule, which says to do so.

From another thread on this subject:

Fox Farm Soil and Nutrient line... PH adjusting needed ?

Like the title says, I was just curious if The Fox Farm nutrient line (grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom, beastie bloomz, cha-ching) needs to be PH adjusted before watering the soil?? The only reason I ask is because people say not to mess with the PH in organic grows... Although I have also been...

the flush theory makes sense. I don't think you need to flush soil unless you are seeing issues. I think you flushed too much nitrogen out and lost the ph

My soil slurry was 6.7, so I think it was flushing before flower that did it.

Buds are still at where they should be, I'm just concerned that they will get to a certain point and stop cause all the fan leaves will be gone.

Is using PH up when needed ok? I found that with all the regular nutes in one gallon, the PH is about a 4 something, and the PPM is a little high, but not too bad, but then when I add the PH up, to get it to 6 something, the PH UP boosts the PPM too high. I guess the solution would be to use less nutes so I don't have to use as much PH up. Am I thinking right?

My water is a 6.7.

Use less ph up.
