Holes forming on leaves

Hi gang,

first time grower.
issue: if you can see from pics I’m getting holeson one plant out of the 7 just on top leaves. Also getting some orange/brown spots mostly on lower leaves but now coming on top. I know many will say nut burn but I have now flushed 2x in a row with the FF sledgehammer flush and not getting better. With flushing now twice I feel like they need food too, the fan leaves look like they are now changing texture too and not as healthy.

I did just spray the ff flower kiss but very minimally however this issue was happening before. Did this at night to avoid burn too.

background:
-(2) 2000w LEDS about 30 inch from plants
-Using fox farm nuts usually feed twice a week. (Dirty dozen)
- 18/6 on lights
-8 weeks old
-FF ocean forest soil
-temp is steady 70-72 day and about 68-70 night
-I’ve tested ph of food and water and I always stay between 5.9-6.4
-tested soil for nuts and I was a little high in nitrogen but everything else was good
- I’m in 6x6 tent with air purifier, 2 moving fans and an air intake with blower
-7 gallon pots.
-following ff feeding

Your root zone pH is too low. Raise the pH to 6.5 - 6.8 and that will stop.

Starting 6.5 for hydro nutrients?

Hydro nutes in soil...yes ph of 6.3-6.6 range for SOIL.

Had you been treating soil as hydro...that is the issue.

Do you know why the pH range would be different? What in the medium would change the way the plant absorbs salts? And leave the caps off, that was why I was asking because I understood it’s SOIL but I have never seen an explanation as to why hydro nutes should be treated any different depending on substrate.

Not sure what you mean?

You’re saying my ph is to low and that’s what’s eating away at the plants?

Your ph is too low for soil...believe it or don't....its your grow.

I’m simply just asking, I’m a newbie, this is my first grow. Just haven’t seen anything saying a root zone too low of ph can cause holes in the plants. Have you experienced this before?

Myself not sure...but whatever @Renfro says, along with the others' comments, you should listen to. I do know that ph in soil is 6.3-6.7....6.5 being ideal. Let the pots dry to about 80% loss of water weight before watering again. This allows a natural ph swing for all nutrients, and oxygen to reach root zone.
Good luck
FF

wait, you use caps and you don’t know? Lol, all right guy.

I'm not asking for help on my grow...nice attitude. Good luck.
FF

Neither am I, I just have problems with people like you with that attitude when in reality your a monkey repeating shit you don’t understand. SOIL

Whatever you say smart guy...your answers show.

Because in soil, the acidic salts remain in the soil more so than in hydro setups, causing a lower-pH situation. Thus, soil grows require a higher pH going in.

Note that each number on the pH scale is an exponential order of magnitude. A pH of 5 is 10 times more acidic than a pH of 6. A pH of 5 is 100 times more acidic than a pH of 7.

I've decided...go fuck yourself ...i know some, definitely not all like you eh fuckface! All I was trying to do was emphasize between soil, or should I say SOIL and HYDRO.
SURELY FUCKFACE YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE RIGHT SMARTGUY!! CAPS JUST FOR YOU.
Now, go feed your face...with ass and cock.
Good luck.
