Help I think it's a deficiency

Qwez, with an off pH lockout of P, it means the P is in there, probably plenty given the feeding dosages, but is rendered (chemically) unavailable, can't be absorbed... adding more will make matters worse, not better.. feeds are acidic!

You're totally right. I still agree with PH issues. I just found out that Happy Frog is super low on P and that may be of importance to our case

soils have been showing to be very acidic, especially OF, but HF on occasion too,...many folks here and personal testing by me have show this trend for years now- ... any use of their soils mandates a pH in bag first.. I'd go another brand entirely if possible!

I only put 3 gallons through it and I tested on that first run off so I hit her with some more water and do what you just said

I want to thank all of you for the input so far looks like I'm going to do some Amazon ordering tonight soil probe a new pH pen and I'll flush it better tonight start over

I found this chart what does anybody think of this as far as adjusting the pH of my water should the pH of my soil

..I like these type charts the best! What's your pot size? No more flushing for now Thumbs, or you risk root damage from constant water saturation... she's had quite a bit go through already, right? She needs to have a break, and let's see if the symptoms slow and halt the really hammered leaves will likely brown out and fall off, so pay more attention to the newer less damaged leaves for this; if it's too late and you did it again already, I hope you took a new pH reading at least to see where roughly it's at now,...
.. for you pH meter, be sure you have proper storage solution, and calibration solution (pH 7 at least)... these will help make it last longer and keep it giving accurate readings! these instruments are pretty touchy and sensitive, so good care and maintenance of them is vital,...

5 gallon bucket thanks for the suggestion I'll wait a couple days by then I should have my soil meter

@Waira
Soil probe got here all four of my buckets are showing 5.8 so I'm just going to guess that at some point I fed and watered that Pineapple Express with water that was pH too low and that's what caused my deficiency

------- great! 5.8 isn't that bad at all, not in hard-core lockout range, though Mg is getting tight at 5.8,... Looks like your flushing earlier helped I'll bet!... get your water and feeds up to 7.0 for a few rounds, and see if that helps bring it up to a more or less stable range,... when you take readings with the probe, make sure the tip area is lightly scrubbed clean to remove oxidation, and test when the pots are about middle moisture levels, not dry, not freshly watered.. this will help give more accurate reading! oh, let it sit in there for a couple minutes as well to get better readings,...
