Looks like a plant needing more or stronger food. Early phos deficiency is my guess.

Yes I have been doing a half dose, so will add a little more next feeding. Thanks for the response!

You described the symptoms very well. The chart will benefit you well. So yes, otherwise healthy, but old lower leaves showing that mobile nutrients are lacking-taking from the lower leaves for the top growth. But calcium and potassium also present similarly but with other specific signs.

Im leaning towards a calcium or magnesium deficiency due to it affecting the older lower growth. I’m seeing some yellow spots and possibly some dead brown spots if I’m seeing correctly. I know a lot of liquid nutes have very low ph to help keep them stable. Do you have a reliable PH reader? Have you tested any runoff? Also I’m pretty sure Ocean Forrest doesn’t come with dolomite lime already in it to stabilize the PH, could be wrong as I know happy frog for sure has it. Gotta make sure the soils PH is good before doing anything else

I use rain water and have some liquid drops to test ph to the color and I'm around 6ish almost 7 maybe. Never tested runoff. And here are the chems I use. And I currently used the formula 2 as I am at 2 weeks since flip.

Fungus gnat. Well first be careful buying soil again from the same place. I never had fungus gnats till I bought from a new store. Two weeks later theres me and three other growers, two I remember from two weeks prior at the store. So I ask one guy...never had em till you bought soil from here? Yes.
I use microb-lift the active ingredient is BT Israeliensis. Bacillus thurigensis Israeliensis (spelling). Predator nematodes work. I even use a neem cake solution to water into the soil at times. Which also works very well for powdery mildew instead of neem oil.
I use more than the 6 drops per 500 gallon rate. A small squirt in 50 gallons or few squirts in the 1000 gallon irrigation tank.
And use a large volume of water, ots not so much how strong you make it, but how saturated you can get the medium with the BTI. And every 3-5 days for a heavy infestation then weekly to keep them down or for prevention.
If indoors you can set dishes with water and sweet scented soap to trap adults.

Sometimes wind burn can cause discoloration. It can dry the leaves as well.

I don't see anything serious with your plants. Hopefully nothing gets worse! Be vigilant! Good work so far. The leaves look quite a nice shade of green.
