definitely a possibility.. however before it started to turn yellow its last watering was a big bloom to plain water flush

i put in big bloom.. then i did a ph run off and noticed it was 7. so i gave it a plain water flush at ph 6.5 afterwards. I read that you could use big bloom to flush the excess salts, and the last time i grew i realized thats one of the reasons i nute burned with the fox farms trio is i didnt flush until the end. The next watering i plain to give plain water, but its usually 4-5 days per watering.

i think the ph is too low now.. is it okay to flush with tapp 6.5 water now, how can i water without OVER watering?
 
ive never heard of using nutes to flush, that looks like your problem. why were you flushing anyways? your feeding schedule is good.
i think you should just kick back and wait, i dont think it will get any worse if you just keep watering normally for a week or two. wait for it to ask for food before feeding again.

i was flushing because the run off was above 7. =/ oh well, i usually end up hurting my plant trying to give em nutes. i figured i could do no wrong using organic fox farm stuff.
thanks for the help, I'll try and wait it out, all though the yellowing of leaves at bottom has gotten worse.
