PH Burn VS Nutrient Deficiency?

Everything growing in fox farms ocean forest with a little added perlite and light warrior, fed very light nutrient, like 200pm tops which is like 5ml of veg and bloom per 10 gallons or something like that...PH is always 6.2-6.5, tap water as base..

Fan Leaves on left are Rez Sour D, which i think is nutrient overfertilization, but i could be wrong. Leaves on the right are Blackberry Bubba, which looks like nitrogen deficiency if i had to guess.

What do you think these are? Prety frustrating having plants in the same tray show different symptons, instead of running the ebbnflood now i gotta spot water each plant with a different nutrient regimen..FUCK!

hey there yes- where are you in your cycle? they all look like nitro def. might try a little cal mag w/iron. i had a couple of plants that are heavy feeders start dropping some leaves in the 3rd wk of flower.

yup exactly 3rd week of flower....so you think the plants on the left are also def...i need to dial in my diagnosis of whats what, i could have sworn i was burning my plants because the FFOF is hot, but they have been growing in those pots for at least 2 months now so i guess most of the nutes have been used up...

i gave them a 250ppm feeding last night, guess il flush in 2 days then hit them with 400ppm in 4-5 days...

also these are mostly lower leaves that arent getting any light...my tops are nice and green but you know what they say you catch deficiencies early in the bottom leaves...gotta diagnose this quick, just scared of burning my plants like i did last round..

burn shows up at the very very tips.

anything else is a lockout due to PH usually (unless its rootbound, rootrot or shitty nutes etc)

If your plants haven't been in the ocean forest for too long you're probably experiencing a bit of a PH lockout caused by the fact that the ammendment in the ocean farm isnt used up (probably more users of ocean forest experience this than actual 100% success)

What is the PH of the runoff?
I'm willing to bet quite a bit lower than its going in.

Looks like a lack of N or a lockout.
One of the Rez leaves looks a bit pH whacked (crinkly) so it could be lockout.

Y215--Looks like hunger for PK and sounds like you have been bumping it up just a little so they should improve. Keep an eye on the brand new growth tips to avoid torching anything:) NS
