All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio, or combination, of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates. These are/will be DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add-in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids) TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added-in larger, then smaller, ratios while the "Bloom Mix" concentrate will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely. The ppm and ratios will be listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. 105/35 Same VPD settings as before, 74-76F during the day and 66-68F overnight. RH is 55% or lower with the ILV on auto. Lights were 700ppfd max with 1hr 10 minutes of UVA midday today. Schedule for UVA is Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays only now. IR is still 1 hr total giving 30/30 at the on/off mainlight schedule and 15/15 before and after. Controls were checked, Nute Burn doesnt seem affected by the 400ppm feed flush yesterday and the light burn is still pretty bad - I may have to do away with it UVA while I try to fix the ph lockout issue. It's really upsetting that I cant seem to get this fixed. 106/36 Issue with camera pics last night so pics were delayed until lights came back on this morning. (so pics are actually morning of 107/37.) Lights were 700ppfd max with 1hr 10 minutes of UVA midday today. Schedule for UVA is Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays only now. IR is still 1 hr total giving 30/30 at the on/off mainlight schedule and 15/15 before and after. Controls were checked, the light burn is still pretty bad and the leaves are starting to curl. 107/37 Watering day. Last feed was day 104/34 I prepared 2.5 gallons of purified water (starting ppm of 20) and added 659ppm of bloom mix concentrate. I then ph balanced it to 7.10-ish. I used knitting needles as I fed this time since I forgot last feed. With this amount I expected to get about 8 to 11 cups of runoff, and ended up with ~11 cups. The runoff ph tested at 5.9 on two meters (I still rather this be higher) The run off ppm was 1860 and would rather this be about 1500 in a regular feed but since this feed used kitting needles I can only hope it goes down next feed. Im hoping it opened up the water pathways more. The top soil ph tested 4 times with an avg 6.3ph (6.15,6.31,6.21,6.53) I expect to continue to use 7.1ph with 650ppm of bloom mix concentrate. Also plan to feed 2.5 gallons in 3 days so I expect about 8 to 11 cups of runoff at that time as well. Checked control pics again and nothing new, either good or bad. VPD and PPFD are set at the same. 108/38 I have decided that the absence of UVA isnt really helping or hurting the girl and with the most recent feeds still producing low ph, it's likely that, ph lockout. All standards are the same other than not using UVA anymore. 109/39 Nothing new to report. Checked controls and took pics for journal 110/40 Watering day. Last feed was day 107/37 I prepared 2.5 gallons of purified water (starting ppm of 37) and added 650ppm of bloom mix concentrate. I then ph balanced it to 7.10-ish. Fed until runoff drip began. With this amount I expected to get about 8 to 10 cups of runoff, and ended up with ~9 cups. The runoff ph tested at 6.0 on two meters (I still rather this be higher) The run off ppm was 1870 and would rather this be about 1500 in a regular feed. The top soil ph tested 4 times with an avg 6.253ph (6.32,6.34,6.25,6.10) I expect to continue to use 7.1ph with 650ppm of bloom mix concentrate and feed 2.5 gallons in 3 days, so I expect about 8 to 11 cups of runoff at that time as well. Monitored control pics and see that I have done nothing to change the ph lockout. She's not 'really' getting worse, but this is a challenge to help her get what she needs in way of nutes. Very frustrating. But I'll keep trying with higher ph feeds and CaliMagic add-ins. VPD and PPFD were all the same. 111/41 Nothing new to report. Checked controls and took pics

Should I be concerned about my organic ph balanced Happy Frog soil having a ph value of 4.85 and a ppm of 2500?

pH is definitely a problem. Organic often reads much higher in PPM than what matters -- int his specific case, not everything can enter the plant, so the water that diffuses into the plant will have a lower ppm than what is in the soil -- this is not the case with "hydro" nutes that are 100% soluble and 100% plant-ready, therefore go into the plant fully and immediately as diffusion across semi permiable membrans of the roots occurs. 4.8 pH will lock out nutrients. it doesn't matter what kind of fertilizer you are using. now, soil pH readings are suspect to start. so that is also a consideration. any experience with this soil before and didn't measure these things? sometimes ingorance is bliss. running a bunch of ph-adjusted water through it will only waste your efforts of creating the soil - a lot of nutes will just go down the drain and never be used. so in future maybe find some amendments that help correct his low pH. water and let it simmer a bit to even out. Like adding garden lime i belive raises pH. This will provide a good amount of calcium too. possibly have to adjust anything else that adds Ca, if previous ratio/concentration of nutes was proper to start. mix some in, get it wet so it dissolves a bit, and it should cause pH to rise. can test with small sample of soil... work out ratio you want to add to large volume without ruining it. if you make amistake can just toss out teh small tester sample you used. so in regard to the ppm of the nutes.. it depends on many factors that are not given here. as far as the pH, if true, you definitely want to adjust that one way or another. 99% certain.

I haven't taken my seeds out of the package yet, but was looking at them closer; one has a deformity over the "belly button" of the casing (it doesnt appear to be to be an open crack). Should I ask for my money back or try to use it? Source says it was their last RR when I got it

Reach out to the breeder and ask em what they think and they might offer to send you one if they feel its deformed. Also call your bank where you got it from and ask them if they think it looks normal. They might offer some insightful advice. To me its weird but I would still grow it. if it does not germinate most companies have a germination guarantee. The RQS rep is on this site. if you message them they might be able to help. Good Luck!

Identified an issue this morning - went back through my pictures, identified the start, looked at the day before, and noted my changes that I took notes on at that time. Went to google to diagnose a few possible hypothesis and am now testing with a treatment. (suggestions?)

You have a calcium deficiency is what it looks like to me after reviewing your diary and feed. Feeding too strong as well, which might of caused a ph issue in substrate. I would check that as well.
