ok first all I got a 41 day old nl x bb in ithink 2 gal pot with miracle grow organic potting soil (never again)anyways problem is high ph so I watered her on 4-7 6.4 in and 7.2 out then I fed her on 4-11 1/2 tsp grow big 2 tsp bb and 3/4 tsp cal/mag phd to 6.0 and got 6.8 out. then watered again on 4-14 5.8 in and 7.1 out.so I know that iron,manganese,and zinc are for sure locked out so I did a foliar feed with rusty water to no avail. so im still a noob this is only my third plant so what can I do to lower my soil ph I no im getting nute build up should I use fox farm sledge hammer now before I switch to tiger bloom, if so what should I ph it to, what should I ph my next watering to.any help would be appreciated.in the photos the leaves are turning white not yellow.thanks

It looks like your low on nitrogen.I would feed them a veg nute with higher nit content.You could also do a foliar feed with a spray bottle this will be a little faster acting than the soil feed.If your feeding with nutes that have micro nutes,its kind of rare to have manganese and zinc lockout.Just make sure your nutes have these micro nutes and you shouldn't have any deficenciey.Your runoff ph should be at least between 6 and 7 and preferbably in the middle.
Most all good nutes contain these ingrediants.Read your nute ingrediance and it should contain these micro nutes,if not let me know.
you know namvet im using fox farm ocean forest,big bloom,tiger bloom,grow big,sledge hammer and cal/mag +.the fox farm website is screwed up and I buy all my products in smaller quantitys off ebay,so I think tomorrow ill run to town and get soil test kit see whats goin on and go from there if I need anything ill let u know
it will take a few days to see results from the feeding. then you should see some results
