soil pH 7-7.5 I gave Canna Flores 1.1 ml / L, I have nothing to reduce the PH should I water it with more fertilizer or leave it until the end?

Imo, I'd use a little citric acid/ascorbic acid/tartaric acid and perhaps some sugars. The citric acid can aid nutrient uptake (particularly phosphorus), ascorbic acid (vitamin c) is also beneficial, tartaric acid is essentially a potassium source and sugars are well..sugars. Lemon, lime, other sort of acidic fruit juices could be used too. I probably wouldn't use vinegar much (maybe balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar).

So late in flower that's probably phosphorous and calcium, not nitrogen. I have the same symptoms on my older plant, but worse. You can either start to give it water PHed to 6.2 or 6.2 with a lot of runoff or flush it until the soil is at 6.5. The yellow leaves won't go anywhere though.

If it were me I'd flush with PH'd water to the desired PH. It could be due to salt/nutrient build up. You can use things like lemon, vinegar to adjust the ph.
