not in a 20 litre pot man its plenty, but exo demands lots nutes and in coco u feed it every watering with nutes not water only, also sulphur groing in soil which u can see early signs of def from the 3rd pic showing a wide band loss of colour, feed the bitch and get some bhuddha tree and calmag cos u gonna need it to sort out the sulphur, ide add a bit of trace mins to the next feed too

shes pH sensitive too man, btw I don't like 14/15 I think 9/18 works bttr for me

There's too much leaf damage for a 'sudden' P def at this stage of a plants life cycle imop more likely is a K deficiency due to a high Ph no? @zeddd has clocked purple in the stem of pic 3? this is also typical of a Sulfur def by high Ph I can't see it too well with my shit screen colours! I zoomed in best I could to the younger leaves down in Pic 3, look like they have lighter edges synonymous with a K def in new growth?
However without having a leaf n soil sample I could name a few things.
I don't know much about Buddahs Tree but I stole a bottle as you would with its claims, its rich mans snake oil imo. I'd go with a cheaper PK 9-18 if you feel she'd take it, such as Warrior or Hammerhead even look for some old stock of Cu-Fos fertiliser its 0-8-19 with a fair amount of Sulfur at 17%, all MJ plants love it and it assimilates very well, plus it costs about £23 for a gallon!
I agree you want the mag for flowering with extra K uptake but unless your feeding it within the ratio required within the soil, you might cause more K lock out through too much Calcium, its not coco and you must treat it totally different. Calmag at 3-1 is too much for your soil
Makka do a soil Ph test using this method.
Copied this easy DIY method off Canna's site for a few others.
The most reliable way of measuring the nutrients present in the potting mix is to use the 1:1.5 extraction method, which can be used to determine the root environment’s EC and pH. The EC and the pH of the drainage water will normally vary because potting mix is capable of holding back a number of elements or even refusing them. It is best to carry out a 1:1.5 analysis after three to five weeks. The easiest way to make this analysis is to follow the plan given below step by step: 1. Take a potting mix sample. This can be done with a ground drill or a spoon. Take the potting mix from a large number of different places to ensure that the sample is representative. 2. Put the sample in a bowl and determine if it is moist enough. This is done by squeezing some potting mix in your hand; if moisture comes out it is OK. To increase the sample’s moisture content add distilled water. Mix the potting mix well after adding water. 3. Take a 250ml measuring jug and fill it with 150ml of distilled water. Add potting mix to bring it to 250ml, mix it well and leave it for at least 2 hours. 4. Mix it well once again and measure the pH. Filter the mixture that you now have and measure the EC. Target values for the EC are between 1.1 and 1.3 and for the pH between 5.8 and 6.2.
Good luck Makka and stick with Coco n drips or DWC in future m8, indoors is for hydro man!
If you were in canna or H&G type MJ specialist soil Pompey and you have Ph tap water coming out at 6.3 - 6.8 your Saltptre in the soil nutes may bring you just right into the sweet spot for your environment? And if they happy leave them be m8! Thing is the more you force them, the further you increase the margins for error inmo...
Reet yer fucking drug taking racist nazi bastards am fucking off back to me own thread wheres theres more decorum

made a slush last night the ph was 6.4 and ec was 2.1 and remember the 20 ltr pot is only 10 litre of actual soil and 10 perlite so im watering her every 2 days now she been in that pot 40 ish days
al be happy when this grows over and i can go back to what i know well wilmas and dwc lol
