Бро, в твоём случае по фотографии растение показывает явный дефицит магния, попробуй использовать листовую подкормку с сагнием, например раствор сульфат магния. Или используй calmag. Ph тут не причем

In my experience with FFHF, my water had to be as close to 6.7 as possible. Always had low ph on runoff. But they usually didn't have any issues.

Ph changed from 6.3 to 6.8 two days after adding nutes/vinegar to bring ph down. Tested too soon? How long to wait to check water ph after treatment?
Water that i had ph’d was sitting at 6.3 had jumped to 6.8 two days later. I’m assuming its because when I mixed i tested immediately after without letting sit for a while (shook jug after adding vinegar/nutes ~30 sec). Curious if i tested too soon or it adjusted while settling

Overfeeding?
Is this the first sign of nutrients burn? Some tips of the leaves are turning yellowish and two leaves are starting to make dark dots...maybe too much nitrogen? 🤔The temperatures in my grow box are a little bit low, but I don't think it's the case. The ph is regular.

Adding Bloom Nutes
I'm thinking about adding either Overdrive or Big Bud to the nutrient list so my question is two fold. I think I have probably 4-5 more weeks of flowering is it worth it to add more nutes now? I would also appreciate anyone's opinion on using these independently vs together.

I’m currently using miracle gro but thinking about changing as I’ve heard bad reviews about controlling the nutes, also I had an amnesia lemon growing alongside my AG and it ended up getting burnt up. If I’m using pots what medium and nutes should I be using throughout? Thanks

Question about pH.
My soil pH is 7 right now. Every single plant. I am adding pH down and watering with it. My question is, if you have had to lower your pH in say 5/10 gallon smart pots, how long did it take to correct the pH levels?
