What does buffered means btw? That it let soil ph and water ph equibilirate or that it takes down water ph all the way down (or up) to soil ph levels?
I had some issues in mid/late flowering with necrotic yellow spots on leaves on some autoflower plants and it seems to be "P" deficency.
having 8.2 ph tap water which i used every second watering during flower and every watering during veg I naturally though it was a ph issue, bought ph down and ph meter.
Measured the runoff water from both new unused soil and the soil I currently having 9 weeks old plants in, BOTH soils gave me around 6.5 ph runoff water when watering with 6.5ph water AND 8.2ph water.. so: 8.2ph in -> around 6.5 out, 6.5 in -> around 6.5 out.
Measured by having a big "cup" of soil in my hand and letting water drip through slowly.
The fert I have been using before was 3 1 4.
Am i correct assuming PH adjusting my water is 100% useless and that by using Hesi bloom komplex with 3 3 4 during flowering will solve my issues with yellow necrotic leaves later flowering on some plants?
Edit: here is pictures of plants 1 week ago or 2 https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/758080-need-help-2-7-plants.html#post9914839
