Starting to realise its more difficult to water/feed in small pots. Just wondering should I be okay once I get that right?
5 litre pots
Soil/perlite

I'm using different brands of nutrients which is probably not the best idea. Dutch pro bloom and biobizz grow

Any advice appreciated, thanks

If you are in a bind and have to use small pots submerge the whole root ball in a bucket or tote till it stops floating and bubbling. Pull it out let it drain then feed it, floating your liquid nutes on top. Sometimes ill soak them in the nutrient solution, but i hate waste, so i give the left over to the landscaping or garden plants. This can buy you more time for your next pot up or finish this way. But not a good long term solution for some growers methods and system.
There's usually no issues with compatibility in mixing ferts together. Just a chance you could over do it. No issues using one on Monday and a different on say Friday.

check your ph, they look like mine did a couple of weeks ago, wish l would of listened to that little voice then. Looks like the start of lockout from acidity. Imo only!

Or not enough food! I didn't look at pics at first takes too long to load. But after the canuck mentioned pH, I looked and whoa buddy! Yeah check pH and how much do you currently feed bloom?

It's quite possible that it's under feeding. This is actually the first time I've checked pH properly so it's not that.

I saw a grow diary on YouTube from frosty Jack with the same light. He underfed too so im guessing it can be a a matter of getting used to plants under different lights having different appetites.

How do you like the Migro lights?

I was using cfl's, grew some nice plants but the switch to this light has been a different game. The growth is thick, rapid and dense from the very start. I'm sure there's lots of good lights for small grows but this one is well worth the money. The price of electricity used is nothing in comparison to the cfl's. Between €100-€150 per year for the aray I think!

Oh I'm only checking pH of the feed, not the soil. I don't have anything for that. I use the drops. Its made such a difference!

Im back to drops myself, can believe what l see now. Mine started out looking like yours then went downhill fast, if they go yellow and purple and get necro spots, its low ph. At least it was in my case. Guess im happy l got it when l did. Should of listened to that little voice inside my head. Listen to your if it tells you why. Happy growing.

Those are sweet lights, close to top of the line if not at top. Ten year life at least. Good investment. Save a shitload on bulbs.
