help noob is it lockout or does she need nutes???

so this is what i did. I grew her in peat moss till the lil leaves at the bottom started to turn yellow then i put her in ff soil and she blew up from 4'' or 5'' to a foot in 2 weeks or so then i changed the lights over to red and 12/12 ( 6 65w cfl 9600 somethin lumens)
and its been right about 3 weeks and she started to yellow again so i put some ff tiger bloom in some distilled water ( i always use distilled) then i had to bring the pH back up to 6.0 so i put a very tiny amount of baking soda and i don't know if that is effecting her i only water her with that once so far the yellowing persists :wall: i also had regular distilled water that i pH to 6.0 with some ph down from petco that i used in my dwc its supose to be sulfuric acid thats what i water her with regularly. thanks in advance for your help Ive been trying real hard to keep her healthy and happy


p.s. sorry for any bad grammer and spelling ( o and i do have a pH meter wasn't guessing though that might b important)

try and aim for 6.5ph
whats the NPK of ur nutes, because it does look like N def, but also a hint of burn
so if ur nutes have a decent amount of N its lock out u have to measure the run off PH not just Wat u water her

tiger bloom is a flowering nute, witch has a low N concentration. but it does look like a bit or burn. i think you may b giving her to much P-K and not enough N. you will see some yellowing on bottom leaves throughout flowering, just usually not till week 5-6.

are you seeing redish purple stems on the fan leaves? it possible could be a slight N, and cal-mag defficiency

Really the way I see it your waisting your time messing w the Ph if your n soil I don't give a shit what anyone says I've got ten plus years of soil grows under me n never once checked my Ph my hydro grows r a dif story that said... you are using weak light so mix your nutes at half n go up from there if u have to but start with a good flush. Feel free to Rep me if this helped
 
so i should lay off the tiger bloom and mix some grow big at half and give her that for the n def and test the run off i guess you compare and at next water bring the pH higher or lower to compensate or to balance
