ph problem? overwatering or nute burn?

Hi most of my plants have yellowing leaves on the bottom and the small ones you see as well are getting yellow, those are clones. Ph is at 7 , i have been feeding them general organics grow box. so i am wondering if its the nute burn or maybe i have been overwatering them. Or maybe the ph goes out of balance with the nutes which i never check after i put the nutes in. What do you all think? Thanks

What in this GO Box did you feed? They're clones. Not seedlings. What medium are they in and what lights are you using?

They have biogrow biobloom, bioroots, kelp calcium mag, i gave the clones biogrow and the bioroots, i grow in top soil, outdoors,

Yeah I wouldn't worry about PH. Not using organics I am pretty uneducated, but I thought PH was even less of an issue with fully organic soils and nutes because there isn't salt build up? Your symptoms don't strike me as toxicity or burn. More like the plant is just hungry. I would rather under-do than over-do nutrients though, you can always add more. HotRodHarley is an expert on the organic side of soil, far more than me at least!

Up your feed and totally forget about pH. Do not concern yourself with pH in soil.
I gave thr big ones whic are in bloom, biobloom 2 teaspoons , bioroot, biobud, cal and mag, everhtime i do, the bottom lraves turn yellow with bur n't edges as you see on the last photo

Oh and its only been in flower for like a week, so maybe i keep giving the biogrow instead of the bloom cycle feed

You should feed for veg a bit into flower. Not a bloom/flower feed. Do you have a PPM/EC meter?
I do not. ok maybe that is the issue i started to give the flowering feed instead of continuing giving then the grow ones,i will up the dose of the biobloon, should i also give the clones the biogrow, they are really getting yellow , i transfered them to a biggee pot with oceanforest , they had nice roots going, thanks

I disagree with ignoring pH in soil and in fact I think that's your issue if you're in a big enough pot with a really good soil let's say 7 gallons or bigger then possibly the soil may buffer adequately but a small pot like that is not going to buffer pH to the extent where the plants going to thrive, are you going to put them in the ground or keep them in pots because I'd transplant them now if you're going bigger then the pH may start buffering properly just my opinion good luck

Invest in a good EC meter. Obtain the water quality report for your water source. You need to know what the EC of your feeds are.

The clones i put in a bigger pot, but my big ones are in 7 gallon fabric pots. Just skimped on putting soil all the way to the top, think its too late to remove them from there. Thanks
