Looks a little hungry, the leaf margins look purplish…whats the strain.

With @Pet_de_Chien on the support ticket. I’m thinking Molybdenum?? Very rare, what’s your PH going in and soil or coco? I’ve also had a similar leaf coloring when I lower the temps and the plants true colors will come out? Support ticket will definitely give some excellent plant doctors on here a place to start 🤟

all look in line. Hate to tell you but you’re in for a difficult ride with the MG. Time released nutrients and being released during watering/feeding make it incredibly hard to feed during the grow. Surprisingly they look good to be using MG and adding FF nutrients, I would add that the FF trio is notorious for salt/mineral build up in the root zone. They recommend flushing every 30 days or so. That’ll be tricky with MG due to releasing its nutrients.

I am more inclined to say normal fade. As they get further in to flower, their needs change. They need less N and more P+K. Hard to adjust with MG soil.

I’d agree with what @OGIncognito offered up.  
MG is an “up for grabs” medium, a few folks on here use it successfully, but most struggle. So lockout/salt build up - and the need to flush is a reality.  
The burned tips look good, thats usually in indicator of feeding at MAX, but the light yellow/green, tells me hungry for some N and P, which should be there with MG and FF.

I’ve grown GG and at 71 the low night temps could be the source of the purple margins (if thats what I am interpreting from the photos).

i forgot to add that the mg soil was flushed out a bit before i used it, i only used ff grow big to feed twice and the ff bloom 3 or 4 times, all at about 1/5 recommended dose

Same thoughts, it’s difficult for me to diagnose the non-typical leaf symptoms. My GG at 3 weeks in flower is stretching like crazy. Hang in there @goldiemouth270 good start with flushing the MG before you started, Sis you take any run off readings? Hang in there Brother, they look good.

I use the Apera PH pen as well and for measuring TDS I use Blue Lab 🤟

So if I’m understanding, they only been fed 6 times at 1/5 rate and you are in early flower, they are hungry. Try a 50% feed and see how they do, N and P are mobile so color should come back and hence photosynthesis efficacy.

Yes, Apera is a good brand, for EC any will do I have a Blue Lab and a Vivosun cheapo.

If your more comfortable at 2/5 - 40% go that route ph’d to 6.5 and observe until next feed time. Looks great so far, just a little hungry is all I really see.  
But get those runoff readings when you can, that’ll give you an idea of where your roots are in terms of salt concentration/ph etc.
