Issues late in flower

Hello, I’m having some issues with leaves drying and turning yellow late in flower. It’s a bag seed that I flipped on May 30th to flower. I’m using fox farms trio for nutes, with FFOF for soil. It’s currently on a 12-12 cycle. Lighting is a Mars Hydro 600. Temperature stays between 75-80 and water is pH’ed to 6.1. I’ve attached pictures for reference. Thanks!

It's rather alarming to keep seeing so many issues with people using Fox Farms nutrients but they keep showing up. I've been commenting on it for months.

Yep. The only Fox Farm nute I'm cool with is Big Bloom, since that's basically just EWC and guano. But I think his problem is more likely a low pH or lockout.

Over-fertilization which can happen if you grow in FFOF, use their nutrients, and follow their feeding chart. You can cut back on the nutes but the damage is already done. Why are you setting pH to 6.1 in soil?

thanks for the feedback. I’ve been doing half nutes throughout the grow. What should pH be for next time?
 
I think this time its the nutes plus the ocean forest together isn't it? OF has nutes in it already, a lot it would seem because people have issues with burn i hear. Next time use a different soil or if you stick with OF, cut the nutes out/reduce heavily. I have read that mixing 50/50 ocean forest and happy frog is a better option. Also heard that OF is better for veg and not for flower. Start in OF for veg and transplant into something else for flower when you go up a size in pot type deal.

Edit: also look for strawberry fields from fox farm if you wana stick with them. Its their flowering soil.

Thanks for the help! I’m not committed to them, just what someone had recommended to me. What kind of soil would you recommend using for the length of the grow?

IMO nothing beats a homebrew soil you made yourself. Look in the organics section of this website, it has more knowledge about building a good soil than I could ever pass on to you. Prime ingredient would be earth worm castings/compost.

If you don't want to make your own, and have the money, fox farms is a good option. If you only want one type pick happy frog from FF. Its good for both veg and flower. I have used it, but i add perlite and a few other things plus a top dress. or do a mix like i suggested. Half Ocean forest, half happy frog for veg, then go strawberry fields for flower.

Edit: there are probably 50 guys on here that could help you with a soil build better than I could, but the organics section has all the answers you will need.
