Thank you. Ph is 7.5 so I'd rule that out as pointed out in previous comments. It is quite root bound, but it's dry. Dry as in both by the tester and by touching it (I pulled the whole block out of the pot and touched it myself). The roots are a yellowish white, which is not sign of root rot it seems? Plus, I've never overdone it with water and the pot has several drainage holes. But I agree that plastic isn't the best material.
What I'll try is add new soil to this pot as there's still room in it, and see if it reacts well.
I went reading back through your thread and I noticed that you're using 3 liter pots. Those are less than a gallon in size. I wouldn't use anything less than a 3 gallon pot to flower even small autoflowers. I've seen a lot of suggestions, but it seems everyone missed the obvious ... that is until @MJmadscientist suggested new pots. If you were to up-pot your plants to either a 3 or 5 gallon fabric pot and use a high quality soil mix like Ocean Forest or Coast of Maine a lot of your issues would be solved.

Yes, earlier in the thread, symptoms were suspected to be caused by root bound.
 
I haven't tested the PH, don't have the tools. May buy it tho. But yeah I suspect it has to do with that too. I've been watering with bottled water (and nutes). Recently I flushed with filtered tap water. Thank you!
definitely recommend getting a pH reader
