Ah...after re-reading my log I found that the last mix I ph the water before the nutes but never checked it again after the nutes. It goes down to around 4.0 after the adding nutes. I have a 2tsp/gal full strength Tiger Bloom. ph7.0 by the color on the chart. I'm sure that is what caused this. Going to give the Cobra about 10oz to 12oz of it. I don't have way to check the ph in the run off as of yet. I can check the soil after the watering with the soil meter I have. Thanks Muddy
Still have more yellowing going on.I watered well with the tiger bloom and like 2oz of ph7 water. The ph was 7 in water but soil still read 6 and even lower deeper down in the soil. I will post more pics tomorrow.

Can you get a hold of some hydrated lime? It's a powdered form with the consistency of flour.
Happens to all of us. I'm fighting the same thing with one plant right now. pH dropped to 5.2 and showing signs of P deficiency from the lock out. I added 1.5 teaspoons of hydrated lime in a gallon of nute solution and fed that yesterday. Tomorrow I'll check the pH and hopefully it will be back up where it should be.

I went down this same road with my first indoor grow, and the pH issues really stunted my plants. I strongly urge you to get a pH meter so you can test your runoff. My soil also got down into the 4s and I ended up top dressing with hydrated lime and flushing with distilled water until I got it back up over 6. The damage being done to your leaves won't ever heal, and autos have such a short life that they can't fully recover from serious problems. If you have the test drops but your runoff is too discolored to use them, try running it through a coffee filter before testing. That should clear it up enough that you can at least get a ballpark idea of what your soil pH is.
Thanks friends for the help. Going to be late tonight but ill get right on it. Try and get a few pics as well. The BH is some fantastic smoke. Tried another nug today and mmmmm good 
. Bout 4.5g is what i have and very happy. The other BH has shook off the seed shell and growing strong. The Cobra in hanging in there growing despite the problems. Again, thanks for the guidance

So ya , I watered with ph8 and still got a runoff of around 5.5. Going to try and make the store tomorrow.
Hey friends! Well i cant get any hydrated lime till monday when i'm back in the city. Nothing around here within 50 miles one way. The Cobra is not getting worse yet. I gave her another small feeding with the TB and some plain water ph8. The run off was close to 6 but still a orange tint to it . The new BH is growing great. I figure the ph will drop on it soon to so i its a must i get the hydrated lime monday. Thanks for all the help. Working on my new cab today. Pics as soon as i get my cam back from my kid.
Ok so i cant believe it but i found a bag of hydrated lime for 6$ at the local hardware store 
I will add some to next feeding. Got my cam back so i'll try to get some pics tonight
