Looks hungry? Are you monitoring input and runoff ph? Have you recently increased lighting or moved closer?

I can say having a PH and PPM meter would make things much much easier for you.
I suggest bringing the light back up, and running a good bit of water through the medium to good runoff. This will help wash away some of the nutrient waste that has built up in the soil.
Do you have RO or dehumidifier water available to you?

This is heat related and light stress. Youll cook your tops at 10 inches above canopy. Raise em back up min 16 to 18 inches

Ok next we need to your ph under control. What are you using to measure you ph and ppms?
dont know ppms
With FF soil and nutes you HAVE to keep up with PH and TDS. You also need to be following their flushing schedule. You need to get a reliable ph amd tds meter. You can pick up a cheap set to get you by on amazoon for 25 bucks. Ph needs to be 6.5 to 6.8 in flower. You will lock out and your yields will suffer

Fox farm trio is very salty, causing low ph and burn, which you are seeing.
I would flush the soil with dehumidifier water very well.
Don’t trust those 3-1 meters if that’s what you’re using. They will throw you off. Get a good set.

Awesome! Dehumidifier water is gonna be your best friend without testing, very low tds, helps keep soil flushed and proper ph.
