Since you are in flower mode .... it is a potassium deficiency... typical symptoms.
I don’t know which Nutes you are using , but you should be on a bloom mix.
Leaves are a bit pale too ( nitro ) so you can do a couple of things.
1. Mix up a 50/50 mix of veg AND bloom nute for a feed ....
2. Or top soil with new bagged soil then water in ..... it will act like a tea / soil drench.
3. Or Mix up a slightly stronger bloom nute feed then feed.
Ph everything prior to application....
6.3 to 6.5 for soil
5.5 to 6.0 for coco / Hempy / hydro

I agree with everything said in the previous reply.. I think the first key is correcting your Ph problems that caused the potassium lock out in the first place. That's my impression anyway.

If ph is low will this cause nite lock out. Will adding a stronger bloom mix fix the problem? I’ve read adding bananas peel to the soil and making a brew with the peel will also help. What do you think?

Keep things simple .... forget throwing scraps or guessing .
PH everything... this way you can elimate the water / feed as a problem.
The range for maximum absorption falls in particular ranges , so making sure that is controlled will eliminate most issues.
Be aware salt buildup will throw shit off , especially when using synthetic Nutes. And may need a water only watering to break it up. Enough to get some runoff will usually do the trick.
Noticed how I AVOIDED saying flush. It opens a big can of worms among growers. That method alone can cause even more issues as you are STRIPPING the medium far more than needed.
Overfeed is why that ( flush ) may be needed and “ that “ was caused by grower error , not the plant.
So if you don’t throw the kitchen sink at a plant , then you can correct.
