should water every other feeding coming out if a low ph/ lockout?

I had a low ph induced phosphorus, calcium, magnesium deficiency. I flushed like crazy with ph 7+ water and added dolomite lime at 2 teaspoons per gallon of soil. My water is RO mixed 50/50 with tap which ends up 250 ppm I add 1/4 teaspoon of Epsom salt to balance out the calcium in water. Ph to 6.5

I usually water in between feedings. Fox farms nutrients. Sunshine mix soil with extra pearlite.

After flushing I did strait water for 10 days to try to bring the ph up(allow the lime to work). I did a foliar feeding with 1/4 strength nutes. Waited 2 days then fed in water at half strength. Week 3 of veg. They have responded well up to this point.

Should I give them another half strength feeding or just water?

At this point, let the plants tell you what they need. Pay attention to the plants on a daily basis and notice changes in colors. If they are are light green all over or yellowing towards the bottom, it's time to fertilize. Personally I fertilize with every watering keeping my ppm around 1000 well into deep flowering. Sativa's generally need less fertilizer. I would start fertilizing at 1/2 strength and if in soil, keep your pH around 6.4-6.5. Since you are using an r.o. device, I add 10ml cal/mag to all water. Always add lime when mixing soil.......
