Cheese auto soil airpot 9L (barneys) 18/6, 14inch light distance (100% power). RT 21/28C, RH 40/60%. Been feeding when top inch is dry which is 500ml every 2/3 days. Using canna every thing at 1/4 doses and 6.1ph. Have added bloom with 5% nitrogen, thought it may be deficient.

500ml/watering not enough: too much salt in your soil locking root intake. Should be around 1.5L in 9L AP (ratio of 6 works with Guanodif zero-mix) to refill the entire pot and have enough runoff to drain out salt, old water, pest… AP don't works well if not completely full, you should top soil: the first row are close and works as a retention buck for top flooding watering. Don't put your finger into the soil, weight the pot instead: water is heavy. ^^ To fix your problem, water your pot fully (~1.5L) with tap water. Do it again more that 30min later. Later restart your nutrient program at 50% dosage the first time.

Add calmag if you don't already. It comes with a little bit of nitrogen. The bottom leaves that uniformly turn yellow and brown up and curl on the ends is a classic nitrogen deficiency characteristic. The other leaves with yellow tissue with green veins could be magnesium deficient. Magnesium is responsible for chloraphyl production which is what makes them green. And of course, calcium is in calmag which is why most people use it, because of the demand for it in Coco Coir. Not saying your plant looks calcium deficient, but adding some cal mag wouldn't hurt if you aren't already. Some people aren't big fans of mid grow flushing. I am however and i suggest to anyone that you should flush your soil before you feed week 3 or 4 of your nutrient regiment. If you look around this website you'll find a clear pattern around week 3 or 4 of flower where shit starts sliding sideways and plants start showing issues, usually from toxic soil which can cause lock out of certain elements. If you flush out all that salt thats built up over veg and into the first few weeks of flower, then you'll likely have a smooth sail to the finish. And stop growing auto's indoors. Have a little self respect!
