Should I flush? I messed up...
Too much nutrients? 24-8-16 for early to mid flower. Will this negatively impact me and does that mean I should flush? I thought the blend was a 4-8-6...

Soil pH not adjusting even after watering pH water.
So Far I've been 6.5-7 pH water, & organic ferts BioThrive Grow, Bloom & CalMag. The soil pH doesn't seen to go any below 6.5; even though I've been feeding 5 pH water to make it lower. Why is this happening? What to do? Does organics in the soil auto-adjust the pH all by itself

Should I filter my tap water?
Is it preferable to use filtered tap water over tap water that's been left out for 24 hours? Would it be worth running my tap water through a filtered jug? I live in a soft water area

Do I keep this 1,100 PPM - 1,500 PPM level for the rest of flower (of course stop 2 weeks before harvest) and is it worthwhile to bump up to 1,500 PPM?

Reservoir PH dropping to fast
I have been having issues with my reservoir Ph dropping from 6.2 down to around 4.8-5.2 with in 24-48hours currently around 22c water temp and a micro recirculation pump (has a air input lead, if that's what you call them) but is always closed. Any help would be a massive help.

General questions about my grow
Based on week 5 of my grow, does it sound like I'm on track with nutrients? Any advice on LST or defoliation? The plants struggled since I planted them so I wary of stressing them out. The only thing I'm doing at this point is tucking the leaves so the bud sites get more light.
