As I said before I'm 3 weeks into flower and I've started to notice what looks like a magnesium deficiency possibly from the foxfarm big bloom nutrients I have added highest pH in my water when traumatically to 9 so I countered it with a pH Down bringing it to around alkaline 7 I fed in between watering and I believe after checking the pH I should have let it sit a little longer to absorb into the water because the pH was around 7.5 through 8 .0 the second time I checked it so I'm pretty sure my pH in my soil has gone up what can I do to fix this or what are your intakes
The very first picture you can see how dark the plant was going into flowering and the other pictures show the yellow that has happened in the last 2 days

Relax. They look good. But you need to work on getting your pH to around 6.2-6.5 and keeping it there. Are you adding your feeding and stirring well before adjusting the pH?

Yes I'm adding the feeding to the water then I shake The Jug vigorously let it sit and then Shake The Jug again before taking my pH I've noticed after about 30 minutes to an hour the pH raises again almost like it's mixing into the water more I'm kind of on a budget so I can't buy ph up or pH Down the water I'm using is 7.2 and I'm using lemon juice to pH it down which surprisingly works well also my bud is somewhat at a stand still now for the last 3 days like it hasn't progressed in size at all. It's one plant so I'd like the most from it like I said I cant afford good genetics so it's all I get what I get

Lemon juice is short acting as you’ve noticed.

What's a good alternative for that

Yes I've noticed the lemon juice doesn't last long and the pH soon Rises so what's a cheap alternative that I can use to fix this problem and also something I could use to raise pH in the soil I don't mean to bug you I'm just new to all of this and in an area it's still frowned upon so getting seeds is out of question for good genetics

Any acid will reduce pH including sulfuric or hydrochloric acids. I’m not aware of what is available where you are. Caution on acids as they are corrosive. Try vinegar. It’s acetic acid.

Thank you for you time I appreciate it any idea on how much I should water with it like a full gallon at a ph of 6.2

You can get PH down for about a 5a. M8
