Small dark spots on leaves

Last pineapple kush I grew was done in 65 days with a few amber trichcombs. I was really hoping this one would be the same but with something wrong I don't know . I really appreciate the input from every one
 
:toke:-- what dosage are you doing on the FF bloom boosters? What other nutes besides them? What soil brand? .......You have more than one thing happening here,.. those boosters are way fierce strong, and as you see they can burn quickly,.. too much P and K will interfere with the uptake of other nutes, particularly micronutes,.. yellowing is worst at tops, right? that indicates a micronute defc. in play, and those spots look like Mn defc. to me,.... those nutes are also highly acidic in solution, did you adjust before feeding?
So, the question is if this is a simple lack-of type defc.'s, or a pH lockout of them,.... overly acidic soil will also lockout P which can show similar yellowing, spotting,.. but usually not in this pattern... all this brings the question of what the actual in-pot pH is! Without a solid reading on that, adding more bloom nutes, micronutes (yes I know they have micronutes in them-:thumbsup:) could make matters worse, not better,.. Now the pain comes from how to get a good reading, if you don't have a quality pH probe made for this (Accurate 8 is a good one),.... no probe, then it's a run-off check, which in general is lousy for accuracy... We do have an improved method and calculation here in the highlighted section above this one,... So let's see what you say about dosage and go from there,.. worst case, you'll have to do a flush, but you can do the run-off pH test before that since you're going to be saturating the soil already,....
 
I used a 1/4 teaspoon of the beastie bloom a teaspoon of Tiger bloom and a teaspoon of Cal mag in 1 gallon of ro water. I put my nutes in than ph the water to 6.5 . Water two plants 1/2 gallon each. They are in 5 gallon fabric pots. Here is a pic of the soil is got from lowes. I have only used the beastie bloom 2 times in two weeks. I water 1/2 gallon a day i feed every other day cal mag every watering ro water. My other plant is getting the same feed and water but does not have any of the same symptoms thanks for helping me

I checked the soil with my cheap meter it shows soil is between 6.0 and 6.5 .I will still do a run off test I just need a little info on how to do it with RO water. Do I ph the water and not add anything? Than wait an hour and water with ph 6.5 Ro water till I collect run off? Thanks again for everyone's help
 
Watered with just ro water ph was at 7.0 -6.8 than checked soil with cheap ph meter showed 5.5 -6.0 so I think over feeding has made my soil to acidic.
