Alright, so I have some plants that are about a month old and began showing yellow on their lower leaves 10 days or so ago. Thought it was a N def. so I fed them twice over a week or so. The leaves turned almost completely yellow and I think it was due to an N lockout because the soil ph was really high(8ish). So I flushed the soil several times with about ph 6.5 water and the plants seemed to like it, they grew a little faster for a couple days and then slowed down again. Tested the soil ph last night, still too high, flushed them again with 6.4 water... got flush results of about 6.7-6.8. So my guess is the soil is still too high (ph7.2 range?). Suggestions? Anyways, I've began to see light spots in between the veins on the leaves, the leaves are dark, but the rest of the leaves are light. Is this the soil still locking out nutes? or something else? THANKS!

you may have started a little early on the nutes. Try and use plain water for a few watering and the plant should come back. Plus you may need to transplant into bigger container so it doesn't root lock.
