A few problems with my Afghani

Hey all. This is my first grow, and I am running into a few problems.

My biggest problem is that all of my older growth leaves keep turning light green. The tips of some of the leaves are also dieing and turning brown/crispy. But most disconcerting to me is that many of the leaves are twisting so that they resemble a propeller.

I tested my runoff ph last week and it was at about 6.0. I tried raising it up with balanced water, but it wouldn't come up at all. So I tried flushing with tap wter that has a ph about 7.5. After about 6 gallons of that, the ph was still sitting at about 6.1-6.2.

I am using MG orgnic soil, BTW. I have been adding water soluble mg ferts every other watering, because I have now flushed the shit out of the plants and I can't see that there are ny nutes remaining. My pot size is about 2 gallons.

The plant is about 40 days old, a little over a foot in growth. The temperature is on the high side... about 85-90 when the lights are on. My exhaust sytem is at its max though.

Also, in my 2 gallon pot, roots are already coming out the bottom, and I have at least 4 more weeks that I am going to veg. Is it possible that it can get root bound in such a large pot?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

when you see tips of your plant turning yellow it means your nute burning it in other words too much fert

flushing it should take care of it you want to use water with a ph around 6.0 to water
