Yellowing around tips and edges. (pics)

I am in week 5 of my first Auto and started to see yellow and brown spots on the bottom leafs a week ago before giving her nutes for the first time. It started on the tips now it is also around the edges and it is moving up the plant. Some leaves that are now growing in have really skinny tips that are browning along with pointing down or at some weird angle.

I have her in 5 gal smart pot with FFOF soil and I started 1/4 nutes and cal/mag and Liquid Karma last week. I am watering with bottled water at 6.5-6.8 PH and her soil is at 7.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback, let me know if more info is needed.

What does one need to do to get a response here. Maybe I will have more luck posting this somewhere else on the forum

Well, hard to say but soil ph of 7.0 is a little to high I would aim for 6.5 no more nutes but maybe some cal/mag just try sit back and retrace your steps, is she showing flowers yet? Is there lack of light at those leaves? Maybe she is just shedding her lower leaves because they are not helping the plant no longer. Or natural yellowing late into flower is a good think you don't want a lot of nitrogen in your flowers, soo I hope this helped any I'm not to sure what the rest of your plant looks like soo.

PH way to high .....soil 5.8-6.2 plants most prob locked up..... Flush and then start with lighter feeds and gradually build up,the feed.

Yes she has been flowering for a few weeks now she is on her 3 week of flowering. She was near the end of her first week when I first posted. I thought PH might be a problem so I have been giving her between 6 and 6.5 PH water for the past few weeks along with extra cal/mag and a lower strength nute since I could not figure out what the problem was . She is flowering nicely now and the yellowing has not spreed since my problem started but all the leaves that where yellowing have fallen off now. The good news is new growth looks great so far I was afraid I was trying to fix too many problems without knowing the exact cause but the problem has seemed to died down now so something worked

water with no nutes and flush with 3x volume of container. make sure run off ph around 6-7 and then 1/2 nute feed on next feeding which will be a while away if you do a really flush.

had same problem early and fixed with that. Good luck!
