@Flowki @RadicalRoss @pulpoinspace

does this look like normal deterioration or a potassium deficiency?
I keep my ph at 6.5 and I’m feeding at 5ml of bloom per 4 liters of water and also 5ml of micro per 4 liters of water.. although I did cut my micro dose In half following the recommendation by @Flowki . I noticed this starting about 2 weeks ago but it was very minor until today two days after my last watering.
By 6.5 I take it you are in soil?. I didn't realise that if so, it will make things more complicated.

I’m in soil yes. How do you prefer to grow?
I'm not knocking soil but coco or even hydro can hugely simplify things when it comes to sharing nutrient amounts. With soil there are many more factors that can create problems. For example you could give a coco/hydro grower X advice for N levels and it will be within a decent range of accuracy for all users. In soil nobody knows how much N is left in your soil so X might = toxicity to you. Also, depending on the soil type ph can begin to rise or fall, once again effecting uptake of nutrients.

Don't take this the wrong way, if soil and organic is your thing (it's not a bad thing) then go all out with organic, look on the forums here for mixes that will keep your ph and nutrient levels in a much better range. If you wish to go with bottle feeds then in my opinion it is better to run with coco or hydro, keeping any organic use to an absolute minimum, like a kelp foliar spray, that kind of thing.
