Phosphorus gets locked out of soil growing at ph levels of 4.0-5.5
Phosphorus is absorbed best in soil at a ph level of 6.0-7.5 (wouldn’t recommend having a ph of over 7.0 in soil) Anything out of the ranges listed will contribute to a Phosphorus deficiency............i use ph buffer ;)

Thanx for the input guys, my ph seems to be between 6.7 and 7.0 but I noticed a bit of Browning spots on some of the leaves.....very very minor but I care. I know that during flowering deficiencies show up, but as my first grow I wanna learn everything about it.

Lemon juice doesnt work very well in imo. If you need a quick cheap fix use distilled white vinegar at about 1 - 1.25 tsp per gallon.

It's minor, I'm planning on getting a better ph reader before I do anything. Unless lockout is really my problem. Cause my reader shows like 6.8 or 6.9 it could be right, but its been the same since the beggining, I'm using FFOF

just guessing that your not organic :D, for a quick fix you can always flush with neutral Ph water

Ya cal and mag sounds right I think. Since I've used distilled water and I've heard that it lacks in calcium.
