I'm absolutely stumped...

Noob here and really could use some help. I have been battling with my sour diesel plants being sick for at least 2 months. I am growing in 5 gallon pots with fox farms ocean forest and used the fox farm trio nutes during veg. I'm now in flower and my plants are getting worse. I initially thought it was PH and bought a soil meter and have flushed the plants at least 4 times over the course of 6 weeks. I thought it was nutrient burn so I didn't give any nutes. Then I thought it was calcium so I added calcium recently. It seems that no matter what I do these plants go in a cycle of kinda bad to real bad and back and forth.

Here's some pics I took under my camera flash.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Also some additional info: 2nd week of flower and I'm using PH'd tap water.

Rather than saying some brand, how about listing NPK and the amounts? Brands are only important for the trace impurities and additives which usually arn't on the label. The most helpful way to express it is the full elemental NPKCaMgSFeMnBZnCuMo and the forms like urea or ammonium nitrate or calcium nitrate

Pictures of plants aren't as helpful as you might think

I get leaves that look like that sitting in front of the fan. Without knowing anything about how things were mixed and assuming its not a fan, my first guess is to cut back on the grow portion. Tiger Bloom by its self will work after weeks 4-5

After referencing, Calcium is deficient in that line according to the labels. I recommend just tiger bloom + calcium nitrate.

It says 2-3 tsp per gal of bloom. Add 0.33g of calcium nitrate to each tsp of bloom instead of the grow portion. This isn't perfectly balanced but will probably be OK on fresh ocean forest media.

Flushing due to imbalance is no help. I don't worry about pH in fresh media because they always have enough limestone to pH balance 1 grow cycle if nitrates are used at all. The pH of the solution was said to be of no consequence in my horticulture training by graduate level horticulturalists. I was trained to manage ph by the water source composition, the fertilizer composition, and the media composition with little regard for initial solution ph.

Your going to say why in the hell would I listen to this new guy who only has two posts.

But , your looking at a phosphorus deficiency. You can kind of Google around some charts and you will find some pretty good images showing about what you have when dealing with a phosphorus deficiency.

Ffof is pretty decent soil but it often runs a little short once you get into flower, especially since you've flushed it.

Hope this get you pointed in the right direction.
Best of luck.
Peace
