6.3-6.4 constant pH, fully dry pot before watering and in 3 cycles all should be back, flush makes too much damage. Forget it.

I never recommend flush, it never brings good results , unless you have light issue and want to catch it up, flush is for other mediums than soil. You will take most of fauna and microorganisms away, your soil has slow release nutrition inside already, water won't be such big acceleration to desolve all of them fast. Dry wet dry wet dry wet, good pH ALWAYS and you will get better results. I can make a bet. All the Best !

You increase slightly your pH in flower in any setup, not decrease it. 5.7 for soil is a killer !!!! Target 6.3-6.4 and you will blossom !!! All the Best !

Lower leaves turning yellow is nitrogen deficiency. Burnt tips depends if they are straight or curled up. If straight it is potassium deficiency, and I would start to think it is a ph issue that just got out of line. In living soil you only need to give teas about 3 to 4 times a grow it will alter you ph if too often given. Hope that helps
