Yellowing leave tips and clawing down, do I need to start giving more nutrients?
Hello all, I'm experiencing some yellowing leave tips on newer growth, it is paired with some light clawing (downside) on the newest leaves (only on the green gelato). I have used very little nutrients so far and have fertigated only once in fear of giving too much.

Brown dying leaves
What is going on with my leaves? Even the sugar leaves are starting to die. Sprayed with optic foliar switch to prevent male flowers popping up a few weeks ago so could be that.

Are those nutrient defficiencies? Which ones?
A plant had interveinal chlorosis on new leaves and then proceeded to show brown patches between veins on middle leaves. Another has coppery brown spots on leaf edges on the middle of the plant. Both were rootbound in living soil (peat/perlite/hummus + ammendments).

Ph Issue
I want a Ph of 6.5, but when I check the runoff Ph I get 5.9 or 6.0. I just Ph'd the feed water at 7.0 to get around 6.5 where I want, but the runoff stays around 6.0. Any idea what's causing the Ph not to go up to where I want it at 6.5?
