I too am Thinking its overfed , but it could be from inconsistent watering .I would at least check the pot , make sure the roots aren't wet or smelly , sometimes knowing what it isn't is a good place to start

I PH down to 6.5-6.4. Water when drying out first 5cm of soil
that’s your issue i bet, not dry enough before watering.. when did you water that one last?
can you move it up front as that’s the sick plant and we may need to see more of it??

If it is over feeding. Why is it only happening to one plant? What is the best method to rid this toxicity? Flushing?
well if you want to believe it’s toxicity than go ahead but that would be the last thing i’d do.. first you go through non stressful fixes before doing something like that.
dry 5 cm down means nothing..
those bags sitting in any water?

i wouldn't try flushing soil myself or you'll just end up with a mushy mess.
my opinion as a soil grower only.
as Gnick said move it up to the front to get a better look.
as i said earlier i have 1 of 5 doing the same thing, i'm just going to ride it out myself and see what happens.

All plants are different, they all have different needs and wants. They could all be the same strain but they express different phenotypes. My strawberry cough just doesnt like wind of any kind. My fan blows against the walls and never on the plants yet shes always curled, not overfed or overwatered either, just how she is.

My guess with the one you have is shes overwatered. Watering when the top 5cm is dry isnt waiting long enough imo. My pots are dry from top to bottom. Sometimes ill water with the bottom 3 or 4 inches still wet, but thats when im going out and wont be home in time to water. I dont recommend doing that all the time.

I have heard not to dry soil out as much when using living soil. What’s your opinion

They need a dryback period as well. The roots look for both oxygen and water, these 2 things share the same space, if theres to much water the plants stuggle to get oxygen.

just let her go dry this time, keep us posted, and let us know before watering again.. pick up the bag as a weight test as she’s wet, pick up from the bottom, hands underneath..

i've read that also, but i've also read much more that the microbes go dorment with no water and come back when watered.
i don't know how long they can go without water but i'm sure more than a few days would be safe to say.
IMO you can always add more microbes but it sucks to add more plants.
as i've always said i'm a newb and only learn from these good folks here so take it as you will
