Wilting & Burn, What's going on?

Hey guys,

I just turned the plants into flowering this morning and noticed a bit of Wilting & possible nute burn as I was inspecting them.

I'm using the FF Trio and have been feeding them half the suggested package dose & have been using it sparingly (once every other week) as for some reason I'm running into issues with parts of each plants leaves.

Here's some other specs:
Tent: 4 x 6
Lights: 2 Roleadro 800W Led lights with only half of them on
Soil: FF Oceans
Water: tap
Strains: Super Lem Haze, LA Confidential, Blueberry OG & Green Crack
Growing in my garage with temps between 70-80, Humidity between 60-80%

Here's the pics:

The last pic is prior to feeding/ watering with Tiger Bloom (1 tsp per gallon, package says 2-3 per gallon)

For the most part, they look good. I'd say the issues with the leaves are maybe on about 5-10% of each of them with some without wilting but a little discoloration. But these issues keep coming up so I'm curious as to what it is, and how to remedy it. Is it burn, a deficiency, heat stress? What to do?

Mahalo!

Parts per million... how strong your nutes are... if they're running too high you may also see yellowing and burn.

How would I go about reading that, checking the label? And what would be too high? I'm using fox farms trio and half of their recommended amount

Need a meter to test the nutrients after mixing. Everyone is gonna have a different answer to this as well. It's said you aren't supposed to go above 1000 ppm on the nutes.. or some shit like that. Me personally... I go by strain... the indica plants I'm growing now are taking a shit load... and they are thriving... the sativa strains are a but more sensitive to big feedings. So alot of it is basically trial and error...

It is hard to tell with those blurple lights on.

Looks like they had a pH issue (low) that caused some locking out, and they struggled to get out of it on their own. Can't tell if the new growth at the canopy is showing that it's gone or what!
Use a Ca/Mg? If not, start to! pH all in-going to 6.5.....Tells me you need more buffer in your water and to set solution pH before use!

If what you said still stands, I'll have to order it from Amazon. What solution or PH buffer etc would you recommend getting? And in the meantime, what can I do? I did check the PH of the water and if the reader's correct it said 7.70

Yeah, I'll stick with it....High not low though......The color from the blurple fooled me......

Water with the pHed and Ca/Mg water only for 5 days and restart any nutrition then.

Any Ca/Mg works.....I like G&H CALi MAGic........
Dropping your solution pH can be done with cider vinegar or lemon juice. Not very stable but it'll work......Mad Farmer "Get Down" pH down is a blend that you use less to do the job and is very stable. Put some egg shells in the vinegar (or your pH down) and use after 24 hrs....It'll help on the Ca till you get it....

When you say "Water with the pHed and Ca/Mg" is the "Phed" a separate solution or just PH balanced water? I'll try the apple cider vinegar for now, just add until it gets down to 6 (going from memory on good PH), wait 24 hours then water?

Also, even with the ideal solution, would these leaves correct themselves or should I trim em off?
