My 2 cents for what it is worth to you. Your ph is too low. And concotions of supplements are your issues. Not lights or temp/RH. FF just bites. Raise your ph between 6.2-6.6. Stop supplementing until it gets healthy. Use city tap water and dump the cal/mag need. Use fish emulsion if a boost is really needed. Aso a bit too long between watering. My impressions as viewed and read.
Best wishes.

The changes will not be immediate. They will happen soon though. If you start changing a bunch of things, then you won't know what actually fixed it. Make one change. Give it some time to recover.

4-7 days via fertigation. 2-3 for foliar applications. But , not immediate.
I'll start by raising the ph to 6.5 and then testing the runoff...
How often should I water I usually do 2 days in between considering the soil is dry

Forget your run off PH and PPM. Waste of time in soil bases. Impossible to get a true reading in an hour. LOL. Just vary your water PH within the range every time different. And Only water to a light run off. Then let sit in the run off for an hour before discarding. I would suggest a distilled water hard flush to get things straightened out. Watering is an art with potted soils. LOL.

Lift your pots often. Get familiar with the weight. You will soon feel when to water. Fabric changes faster than plastic. So stay on them.
I have it on a 5 gallon smart pot
I'm thinking of buying 2 gallons of distilled water and just flushing it out and letting it dry out till its next feeding

Get a cheap plastic drip pan and lift, lift, lift. And just a side lifted will suffice for larger pots.
Yeah I have it on one already

More like another 5 gallons. But yes.
Wouldnt that be overkill and drop my leafs? Or would that just take out all the salts in the soil....should I do it today or wait till my soil gets dry?

As long as you don't let it stand in the run off. And wait till it is ready to water? It will help what I saw posted. Only removing salts, small organic sponges basically.
Makes sense I fed it yesterday so it should be thirsty by tomorrow or Thursday I'll pour some distilled water to flush it all out....do I give it nutrients after or just let it sit till the next feeding?

Just flush. Then when getting light just ph'ed water until she gets healthy. Plenty of nutes available. Hence your clawing. Just off balance due to PH and build up. Causing your twist and loss of color. The leaves curling up along the edges indicates lack of water. Real easy fixes. Just K.I.S.S. And one thing at a time. Wipe your slate and do it right thing. It is no big deal if addressed correctly.
Right on...how high do I ph the distilled water I read that it's pretty acidic like at a ph of 4 or so...6.5-7 range....

Distilled should be around 7. No ph if legit. Just pour. LOL.
Sounds good what brand of distilled water do you use?
