I need some help identifying the problem I have going on here, I believe it to be a potassium deficiency, however I’d like a 2nd opinion, thanks for your input,

Yup, it’s always best to ask the pH question first as it accounts for a significant number of issues folks have.

Makes sense I’m using advanced nutrients ph perfect lineup my ph is running around 6.4 when I test it, I’m going to start bringing it down closer to 6.1, I appreciate the feedback guys. If the rest of the world was as friendly and efficient it would be a better place!
