Seeking confirmation on possible nutrient deficiency

Good day all, first time grower here. I have about a dozen plants and most are fine but i have a couple that are having leaf discoloration. After looking at this extremely long and detailed article


The pictures in it that most resemble my leaves indicate a phosphorus shortage. But other articles are saying that my nutrients should cover it

Can anyone with experience confirm/deny this based on the image of the leaves? My plants are about a month into flowering and i have them in fabric pots and feed them the fox farm trio. Thanks for any help. These leaves look gnarley to me1126201215.jpg1126201215a.jpg

A couple of leaves on one of my plants look the same as yours & I'm about 4-6wks into flower. Im also using Fox farms soil. I dont dare feed them nutes. Each time I have I've burned them badly. Even adding just 1.5mg of ea bottle of nutes to a gal of water = burned. I need to read up on adding nutes to soil grows.

I too am curious what the cause & fix is for this.

4-6 weeks into flower and no nutes in ff soil? I'd change that if I were you.

1.5 too much? Try 1. 1 too much? Try .5

I'd like to see what the burns look like at 1.5

FF soil has been inconsistent at best.

I use recipe 420 only. But we get that local.
I run Michigan Made Mix (m3) for my 1 gallon grow bags and clones and then transplant into Mother Earth Coco/Perlite 70/30 into 10 gallon plastic pots for their bloom stage. I cant stand Fox Farms its literally junk. Most threads on the newbie section are people having issues due to Fox Farms and nothing they can change or make their fault.

After running jacks, an, cyco, heavy16, botanicare & general hydro I've settled on House & Garden Cocos with their additives Amino Treatment, Bud XL & Top Shooter and have had phenomenal results. I get the 2 cu ft bags of Mother Earth Coco/Perlite for $10.00 US out the door so no competition there.

I use the nute line with great success every time.

I refuse to use the soil.

I've used the Mother earth groundswell with great success. I haven't done Coco yet.

Lots of people haven't tried coco yet but literally you will never go back. The thing I love about the coco is you're starting from scratch and consistency is always there like with properly maintained hydro setups. If you run House & garden cocos A&B with any coco you will have fire results. Huge benefits of coco are its noob proof because you cannot overwater it even if you drown the pots in overwatered flooded drain trays. I've tried. No perlite even with Canna 100% coco.

The only thing is I really don't have the time to feed and water daily. But the rest I do like about coco.

Im going by just under the recommended amount of nutrients as i also had burning easily pop up and my oh is always between 6 and like 6.7 so i should be good?
K. Especially with fox farms nutrients you cant give what is recommended on the feeding chart. It is always suggested to begin with 25% of the recommended values and slowly increase as you go.
