I'm no expert
but i would give it some type of calmag on your next feeding and see if that helps

I'd lay off the nutes and just give plain water for a bit. FFOF has plenty of nutes for at least a few weeks. You're probably loving her too much. I don't use the Fox Farm nutes. I'm only a fan of Big Bloom, but I grow organic.

Another grower having issues using Fox Farm nutrients.
You're overfeeding your plants. Look at the extreme clawing on the new growth. I don't understand why you would need to add anything else on top of the 12 bottles of cannabis specific nutrients you're already using. If there isn't enough calcium or magnesium in a dozen bottles of stuff then something is seriously wrong with the formulations of those nutrients.
I can go an entire grow with just calcium nitrate and a micronutrient blend and not have a single issue or need for calmag or any other additive. Soil, coco, hydro, it doesn't matter. These are just standard nutrients and not cannabis specific so you don't need a bunch of bottles with cool looking labels and silly names to grow cannabis. It's just a plant. Feed it like you would any other plant. $100 for some starter kit and unhealthy plants. That's just not right.

Yeah you make a very good point. The problem with being new to the whole thing is you have to live and learn. Thanks for your advice. I will stop feeding nites and just use plain ph water till it looks like it needs anything.
Was thinking of trying Epson salt spray. But going to see what others think as well. Thanks
If my soil ph is 6.5-7 is that still possible?

It won't hurt anything, but I don't think it's gonna matter much until you fix the soil.
Some people do it weekly. You can add some Pro-TeKt in it too for silica if you decide to foliar spray.
Nutrient lockout isn't really the same as pH lockout, even though the results may look similar. Too much of one type of nutrient can interfere with the uptake of others.
So what do I do. Flush it and let it dry out and then plain ph water till it looks better?

I wouldn't flush a lot of water through it, but maybe a little. I would water until there was some runoff, but don't go crazy. You don't want to flush out the good stuff in the FFOF. Then plain water for awhile.
It's not that bad now, but those messed up leaves aren't gonna recover. At least you caught it early.
I'll give it a shot. Thanks for your help
