What is going on with this?

Hardly organic using Advanced 3-part + additives, just saying.

That's not necessarily true. Plants will thrive up to 7.5 and 8 isn't that far out of range. You can deal with it and looks as if the plants have been. Looks good overall. I'd worry more about input pH whilst using nutes.

Tbh runoff in soil isn't an accurate pH measurement. The water has it's own pH value and picks up whatever particulates and dissolved solids on the way through. It's not a true representation. Actual soil pH might be different. Most of those soil probes aren't very reliable either.
Most accurate imo is via soil test kit using a soil sample.

Imo, you've just gone a little bit over with the nutes. Looks healthy overall. I personally can't see any symptoms that immediately point to pH lockout. I see too much nitrogen.
@ half nutes why?
Dunno, but you should have a better idea once you get your EC meter.
It could be simple as getting more runoff when you feed.

You've come this far and they look good, honestly, good job.
But best you can do is just chill.
One plain watering won't hurt in the meantime on next watering, if you haven't already.
I'd then carry on @ half strength nutes, exactly as you have been and test the runoff EC once your meter arrives.
Nitrogen is easily leached away for the most part, and is usually the first deficiency to show in a healthy garden.
So, I'd start by getting more runoff when you feed.
Might be simple as that, bit of buildup.

No worries, I'll refrain from commenting for a while, think I've said all I need to for now.
Good luck.

I think your plants look pretty good! As mentioned in earlier comments, it could be magnesium deficiency. Ive read many books and articles on growing and they will all say the same thing, magnesium or just genetics. What i have noticed on my grows is that the closer i get to harvest time, the more purple starts to show up. Im guessing the purple is mainly on your fans leaves right now. The first pic is of my current grow that is in week 4 of veg (Mimosa). No purple on the main stem, but the fan leaf in the back is starting to turn a lil purple. The second pic is also my current grow, but these girls are in week 3 of flower (Also Mimosa) You can see the purple is spreading through the main stems now. It shouldnt be an issue for you and dont over think it. Leaves are your best indicators for deficiencies. Brown spots, yellowing etc.

Are you growing in coco? Have you been adding cal-mag?

Nah soil
Mother earth performance soil
My nutes have calmag but it might not be enough I'm not sure

I usually go for cal mag first for any discoloration. Always seems to cure what ails them.

Nope..not that high. Good to see ya got the meter.

Now you can quit guessing and get these backed off the nutrients a bit. I'd back that ppm back to 950-1000 and see what ya get.

We've been telling you it has to much nutes in the mix. Now you can see it on the meter where we could see it in the pics.

So is that..pic #1 input and pic #2 runoff? I'm no help here, just curious since I've been reading this thread.

So how do I fix it? Half dose I've been doing or just straight water? Is there a way?

Fatjoe said:

I'd run some straight water to a good runoff. Ya can measure that runoff to get an idea of where ya are. See what happens in a day or so. Then continue feeding with 1/2 of what you were and see how they respond.
