What is wrong with my plant?

I am guessing its pH problem since i dont have a pH meter yet which is coming in few days.

Or is it a Mag deficiency?

Or nute burn?

Plants Jock Horror and currently flushed with poland spring water. Before that was being fed with foxfarm nutes at 50%,

Any help would be nice.. +rep.!

I dont know dude. Is that all the damage on those 2 pics. If thats it I would relax a while. Try and get some shots of a full plant, they look ok realy.

Today i got the PH meter and it seems like i was watering with 7~7.5 ph water.

I need to get some up's and down's for pH tommorow and start to feed it correct pH.

But i came across how MOST of the plants are showing yellowing now on bottom leave so i gave the plants 1/2 nutes today since i havnet nuted the plants for about 2 weeks now.

Here are some more pics..

any advice?

Pretty sure the yellowing of the lower leaves is a normal thing. If they start to look too bad just pull them off. The other spot looks like it may be a water spot or burn. Fix the ph of your water and keep doing what your doing. They look good.

Plant stress shows up in many ways. What you've described is a natural progression towards leaf necrosis. Unless the condition is corrected those spots will spread such that the leaf will eventually turn brown and fall off. Mostly likely it's a plant food issue, too much. If the leaf spots started out as yellow and then copper colored dots, you've been pushing them ladies with too much salts.

I doubt if this site's favorite squawk is the real issue - "I know what the problem is, pH".

Thanks. I noticed the perlites on top of soil and the soil is getting kinda hard and perlites turning a bit yellow too. Im using foxfarm+30% perlite.

Should i just flush all with just phed water and than start nuting afterwards?

Maybe, maybe not. You shouldn't be having these problems if you're using a complete plant food, or growing in an organically rich soil. This is a good link: http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/quickref/fertilizer/nutri_def.html
