How do I correct the issue ?

Definitely I’ll keep a close eye on everything, if symptoms Progresses what steps should I take to remedy the problem and I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to help me out

Unfortunately I can't offer a lot of advice on that.
The problem with organic grows is it takes time for inputs to have effects, and its often difficult to discern what exactly is out of balance. It's like trying to control the direction of an oil tanker, whereas the way i usually grow in hydro its much easier to diagnose and correct problems because you know exactly what you are feeding, and inputs have immediate effects. Like driving a speedboat.

I would maybe do a slurry test to see what the ph is, and possibly treat the soil with a microbial product, but only if you see issues spread. I'd just try and keep things simple and consistent with regard to watering and monitor it for a couple weeks.

100%. 20% is pushing it.

Time. The plant will deplete it over time. But it would have been far too hot at the start and the old growth suffered.

Forsure boss Ive already watered with compost tea made with a cup of worm castings and unsolphured black strap molasses

Forsure boss I be already watered with compost tea made with a cup of worm castings and unsolphured black strap molasses

This is subjective and my opinion, but I wouldn't use molasses. It can cause wild bacterial blooms that can actually do more harm than good. If you do use it, just be sure it has fermented out of the tea by testing its specific gravity before and after brewing the tea. You can get a simple graduated cylinder and hygrometer from any wine making supply place for $20.
I definitely would not ever add molasses directly to the soil in a solution.

The only thing derived from molasses that we care about is humic acid. For the beneficial microorganisms. The plant doesn’t utilize carbohydrates as animals do. People feeding sugars hoping for tastier crops are not using science. There are other sources of humic acid and there’s Recharge or Mykos WP to increase micros.

Exactly. Agree 100%, adding carbs to the soil actually causes the beneficial bacteria to use that as a food source rather than feeding on plant root exudates, which interrupts the symbiotic relationship and nutrient exchange qualities of the bacteria and other microorganisms.
