Hi! Some of the leaves starting showing this discoloration. Is this K def?
3 weeks into flowering.
Being fed: BioGrow 1,5mL/L, BioBloom 2mL, TopMax 2mL/ and Hesi SuperVit 1drop/5L.

By the way, if anyone could help me with this also I would appreciate.
Thank you!

I have a similar thing going on with one of mine and I also thought it was K def. I posted on here about it a couple days ago you can see pics of mine and let me know what you think. Anyway, I was told it may be zinc def. Due to a high ph locking out the nute. If your ph is above 6.5 you might want to look into that. Good luck!

Yes, my pH is at 7 now (3 weeks into flowering). When I started flowering it was 7,5. Did the lemon juice work for you? used it to try to bring it down for weeks but not with much success... I mean, it dropped a bit but not as much as necessary.
 
Could also be magnesium. I had a problem with magnesium when i used the biobizz stuff cause i dont think they contain any magnesium. Try flushing your soil, and get some stuff called "calmag" or if you wanna stick to organics biobizz has stuff called "alg-a-mic" which contains magnesium and calcium. See how that does.

Growing in Compo Sana Universal Compact soil (fertilized soil with perlite and agrosil, a root stimulator). It's pH is 5,5-6,5. My water is 6,5. Fed them BioGrow and Hesi SuperVit during veg. The pH rose above 7,5 but I had no problems. Managed to lower it a bit with lemon juice. Now feeding BioBloom, Top Max, BioGrow, Hesi SuperVit. Weekly I give them some foliar feeding but I'll stop it now because I don't wanna risk spraying my buds. Apart from them, I used VitaTerra Algas, a cheap Alg-a-Mic like product I bought... not sure if it really does the job. It contains Mg in it so I think I'll try it today. Cheers!

EDIT: by the way, if someone could help me out with this I'd be really grateful!
