Keep your p.h. at 6.5, check it every day before watering. Buy some ph up and ph down, add just a little of whats needed and bring it up or down slowly. You don't want to juggle the ph all day.
FF nutes, don't be afraid to add them on a every watering basis just don't over do it, and start adding Molases to every watering even during flush, 2Tbl per gallon of water.

so how often should I flush? and also I am using tap water i let it sit out days before using but in my ton we have hard water, should I use purified water?

You only need to flush when you have problems or during the last 10-14 days of the grow. You should have a cycle os feeding though. Something like feed, feed, water, feed, feed, water. Something like that. During the water is when molassas or super plant tonic is used. Make sure the water is chlorine free. Chlorine kills the lil beasties in the tonics that help with root growth.

flush or just water with plain water once a week or every other watering... how does the new growth look? if it is green and robust... trim those dying leaves off because the plant is killing them off any ways.. to focus on the new buds and growth
