I have 4 plants that seem to be running into some problems... Im about at my wits end! I believe it all started because of ph problems. It would seem my soil ph was low 5s at the start, and as I have been watering ive been slowly bringing it up. Now Im worried that im causing toxicity, nute burn, or dealing with a mag deficiency! Please help if you can tell what the problem is!

Plant 1 - White Dwarf

Plant 2 - Easy Ryder

Plant 4 - SS Haze

The rest of the ladies are doing great.
 
On the SS have the stem and petioles are purple.
 
Its definitely a ph issue bro and it looks like a Cal/mag lockout on 3 of them that I can tell. Probably more calcium since ph was so low. Have you flushed because you have necrosis setting in on at least two of them? I am not a huge fan of flushing but when you see necrosis its time to clean out your soil and let it stabilize before you do anything else.
 
Havent flushed yet... I just watered a couple of them.... should I go ahead and flush anyways?
 
The nutes I use have no calcium in them, and i dont have lime in the soil... I picked up some epsom salt tonight. I was going to foliar feed at 5 tablespoons per gallon.
 
What was your ph of the runoff after watering bro?
 
like 6.18... but ive been trying to bring it up. Its been lower than that. Ive been watering at 7. Should I flush plants Ive watered recently, or wait until they dry again?
 
Is the necrosis spots all on old growth or is it spreading to new growth?
 
The nutes I use have no calcium in them, and i dont have lime in the soil... I picked up some epsom salt tonight. I was going to foliar feed at 5 tablespoons per gallon.
whoa!!! way too strong! 1 tsp per gallon of epsom for foliar....

if you're readin 6.18 out sounds ok... a flush could help... but if ph is stable, should be closing in... lets have a look:

ph vs uptake.gif

at 6.18 you're just below Potassium / calcium / magnesium... so thats why the issues...
I'd say with all you've been through... flush clean till soil reads 6.4... then go back and hit em with a light shot of veg nutes and a good shot of flower nutes... dunno your nutes but with FFGB, and FFTB, use 1 tsp / gallon FFGB, 2 tsp / gallon FFTB, and 4 teapsoons FF Big Bloom if you use it.
 
Old growth. Although the tips are yellow on some of the new growth.
