Hi everyone!
Right so recently I have posted a thread cus I couldn’t recon what issue I had, I was suspecting either light issues or something with the nutrients. I dimmed the light on 75% and I checked ph of runoff which was around 7.8-7.4 so done a bit of flush nothing heavy tho and they looked better two days afterwards so yesterday I gave them only water again to fully clean them out and today I have noticed that the issue I had actually got worst so I know I had lockout and I am almost sure that it is progressing potassium deficiency. I got a lux meter today and I measured the light and at 75% it’s too weak (which rules out light issues) and actually I dimmed it back to 100% and now the reading on the highest point of canopy is (see the photo). So my questions are:
1. I have been running my lights until today on 75%, I had only dimmed the light on 100% for a day last week but after spotting those leaves being burnt I assumed light issue so I have put it back on 100% today. It nearly end of 6th week of flowering so do you think changing the light at this point will contribute to better yield?
2. Am I right that this is potassium deficiency and maybe I shouldn’t be flushing them yesterday as maybe I washed everything out and remember I lightly flushed them when the issues had begun 4 days ago as well. I’ve got some PK agent so now how to sort this issue out? Obviously I can’t feed them until Friday I suppose because the soil is still wet so need to wait for it to dry out and therefore I am worried that they will get worst until Friday, what’s your thoughts about it?
3. If I’m gonna feed them next time should I give them only water with PK agent or should I give the PK agent, bit of cal mag, rhizotonic, booster and half of the dosage of Flo fertiliser? I know that one thing might be locking the other so I’m not sure if I should use but if everything in the solution at once or should I do it any different way?
As for the photos that’s three shots of my girls, so first photo be of first plant (there is couple of big fan leaves like the one on the photo, around 5-6 leaves), then second one and the third one isn’t that bad yet.

so yesterday and three days before that I fed them only with bottled water from Tescos (6.2 ph)
