Hello everyone and let me start off by saying thanks a lot for taking the time to look over my plants and thanks even more if you are able to offer and advice! First a little about my problem plant. This is a strawberry blue feminized that will be at 4 weeks come this weekend. She stared showing signs of deficiency almost a week ago which I thought was okay because shes just in a 50/50 mix of happy frog and FFOF with about 20 percent added perlit meaning she should be okay for first round of nutes which I feed more than a week ago. (nothing fancy just general hydroponics flora nova grow at about 250ppm). Now I admit that the pH of the feeding was about 6.0. With the runoff being about the same in terms of pH. I know optimally you want that runoff at no less than 6.5 but is this really the root of what seems to be a nute lockout? (I feel like the new growth is definitely showing nitrogen deficiency now which leads me to think it really was the pH of the soil).
I managed to pick up some lime today and crushed up a gram to add to top of the soil in hopes of adding some calcium and restoring the pH to a higher level then it currently is at. I guess my question really is this more of a pH problem or lack of cal/mag and possible nitrogen?
Strawberry Blue feminized :
Area 51 RW led about 20" hight 18/6
Temps 71 to 80 F with air exchange
RH between 30 to 55.
One gallon pot with 50/50 FFOF and happy frog
Only Topped once/no other training
Filtered tap water at 130PPM around 6.2 pH
Only using general hydroponics flora for nutes
Thanks again for any help/advice and let me know if there is any other information I can provide
Also last picture just so ya'll can see is my afgani under a chines led light (i know don't bash me) thats about a week ahead and doing quite alright in my book.
