4ft AK47s - 1 month into flowering - issues! HELP!

Ok everyone, we are 1 month into flower with 5, 4ft AK47 plants... We are using Ocean Forest with added EWC and Peace of Mind Fruit and Flower, 3.5 Gal buckets.

About the 2-3 week time we started to see yellowing in the mid of the plant (does not look like N problem), the leaves are yellowing and drying with small brown dead spots. I thought it to be a possible nute def. early on so we started with 1TBS of PBP Soil Bloom every other water and gradually stepped up to 2TBS every other watering... The problem doesn't seem to be getting bad fast, but very gradually... The last watering I pulled a run-off pH and the 5 plants all show to be between 6.6 and 6.8.

I can get pics if need be. The yield thus far looks like it will be very nice, but, I don't want to run into more of a problem later in flowering.

Any help is appreciated.

hey man, we had same problem, same plants, same ph. feed them some calmag in low doses. if your using coco let them dry out a bit in between. it will help, also remove some of those pointless little branches you get with ak.
good luck

we also gave them seaweed mix... but we think it was the calmag that really helped. we overwatered our coco, a no no, it lost its calcium and magnesium buffer. bad move.

I need to see some pics to be sure, but from what you've stated I can say this:
1)You 're using OF which is a very highly composted soil mix.
2)You added castings and Fruit & Flower 5-8-4.
3)You added Pure Blend Pro 1.5-4-5.
Without pics my opinion is they are overfertilized, I'd flush them with plain water.
The soil has dry nutes added that is more than enough, you have to be patient using dry organics they respond slower because the microlife have to break it down first before the plant can use them. Liquid nutes bypass the roots and feed the plant directly. Only thing I put in my soil with dry nutes is casting teas with molasses, that's it!
I use FF Bulb Food 3-8-8 and I had the same shit happen to me, had to learn to be more patient as dry organics is a slower process than using liquids, I overfed mine and I was using 1/4 cup BIG BLOOM and 1 tbsp liquid seaweed per gal., with PBP you're using stronger nutes than I did!
Some pics would really help though.

Sounds like cal/mag to me, ferts and pH didnt solve it so def cal/mag imo and the way you describe it, get some cal/mag and use that, should be easy and quick to do. Peace
