Hi I'm growing Gorilla glue #4 from feminized seeds. I am in week 7 of flower. Seed bank said they take 8 to 9 weeks to flower on average. I have been growing in fox farm soil and using general hydroponics trio and call mag and also floranector for notes. I have had yellowing dying leaves with crispy brown spots for a few weeks now and have just tested my soil ph by testing the runoff. I put plain tap water phd to 6.5 in and got runoff at 5.4 ph coming out. I'm a newbie but I believe low ph soil could be my problem. What kind of problems can/has this caused? I started flushing 3 days ago for final harvest. Should I just continue to flush or should I fix the soul ph and feed and if so how do I fix the low ph in soil before harvest? Thank you for any help in advance. What would you do if this were your plants?
Soil ph???

Youre gona be ok lol
Ya you fd up a little. Had some lockout at the end prob.
Why do new guys always add calmag lol. Youre just raising ur ppms for nothing causing your lockout. With the soil youre using and tap water you really dont need calmag. You added in a bunch of calmag and it was too much so it sat around in the soil and caused ph to swing causing a lockout of other nutrients. Its all good. Keep watering plain water @6.5 or use a flushing solution. I dont normally recommed them as you can achieve the same result with plain water but you can flush out the extra salts built up or else your bud will burn black and or not smell too great
Personally i hate foxfarm soils. They are inconsistent and tend to be 'hot' once you start adding in nutes you can get into problems with ph and lockout. Using plain promix or sunshine mix #4 even coco when youre a little more seasoned allows you to control your nutrient regimen more closely
