Get your pH down around 5.8 and see if that helps. Coco likes a lower pH.

Not always good to mix coco an soil.. as they require different pH lvls. Would shoot for pH 5.8 an hope it fixes it.

Ok rajah but do you know off hand wat could be causing this coloration in the leaves
Im without leaf charts lately but looks to me like 2 or 3 nute deficiencies, P and K, like overall hunger, from under fed or under waterering. But with those products being used according to instructions that shouldn’t be.
Can we know age, size, container size, watering frequency and amount, whatever else you can add.
If coco is used as soil conditioner as ProMix and NLS are doing then treat it like soil for pH and fertigation.

It could be a multitude of things. We usually do a process of eliminating. I forgot you were in mixed soil. This is what I would do. Get the pH down to 6. I agree with @Jaysittinback that the mix is to be treated more like soil. Without the mix ratio though, its hard to know which way to lean. Soil prefers 6.5-6.7 whereas coco likes 5.8-6.0. I believe I suggested before to get around 6.3 as a middle spot. I don’t recall what nutes you were using if any? If its heavy soil youd want to increase pH to around 6.5. If its more coco you would lower pH to around 6. I would give a good week to 10 days of watering and a consistency in pH to see if it worsens or improves. Id need to go dig through all the threads you have made to recall all you had going on. Its really helpful to keep all your post about the same plant in one thread. That way someone trying to help can just scroll up through the thread to gather info to make an informed suggestion.

Answer as much of this as possible and let’s see if we can get this figured out. You been doing this a few months now and I recall your plants look pretty good.
-What strain, Seed bank, or bag seed (photo or auto)
-Age of plant
-Method: Soil w/salt, Organic soil, Hydroponics, Aquaponics, KNF
-Vessels: Type and capacity of container (fabric, plastic, etc)
-PH and TDS of Water, Solution, runoff (if Applicable)
-PPM/TDS or EC of nutrient solution if applicable
-Method used to measure PH and TDS
-Indoor or Outdoor if indoor, size of grow space
-Light system List brand and wattage/spectrum
-Actual wattage draw of lights
-Current Light Schedule
-Temps; Day, Night
-Humidity; Day, Night
-Ventilation system; Yes, No, Size
-AC, Humidifier, De-humidifier,
-Co2; Yes, No

Nutes fox farm trio with cal mag and kelp and fish emulsuon thats wat i have and goin to fox farm feeding chart

Hi based on what youve listed I think nutes should be stronger or mix a larger batch to make sure its completely wet through.
Sunshine #4 already low nute potting mix, you cut with coir and perlite, made it more loamy thats good, but even less hot, wont get feed duration youd get from 5gal of another soil mix, Im not sure about calmag kelp or fish, but Id increase ppm or quantity of FF nutes, get a tds/ppm meter

It’s a nutrient deficiency. Make sure your fertilizer has a complete range of nutrients including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, iron, calcium and magnesium, as well as other trace elements like boron, copper, manganese, molybdenum, nickel and zinc.
Keep the pH of your fertilizer solution between 6.0 and 7.0. this will make all the nutrients available to the plant. If the pH is too low (below 5.0) or too high (above 7.0) some of the nutrients won’t be taken up as readily and deficiencies are more likely to happen. The pH of your fertilizer solution should be between 6.0 & 7.0 regardless of the growing medium.
To check the pH, add the fertilizer to a watering can or bucket and fill it with water. Stir it up for 5-10 minutes and then check the pH. Most fertilizers will drop the pH so you need to mix it and wait a bit before testing the pH. If the pH is above 7.0 you can add something like white vinegar or hydrochloric acid (you won’t need much) to drop the pH a little bit.
If the pH is below 5.0 after you mix it, then add something like sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to raise it a bit. Again you don’t need much bicarb to raise the pH.
After you add stuff to raise or lower the pH, you stir it up and wait 5 minutes before testing the pH again. When the pH is around 6.0-7.0, you water the plants with it.
The fact the deficiency is in middle age leaves and not new leaves, would suggest you had an issue when those leaves were growing and it has been corrected since, because the new growth doesn’t have the deficiency. I would do the above re the fertilizer but unless new growth shows the same problems, you probably fixed the problem a little while ago.

This is a soil-less medium (peat/coir/perlite) and ran like hydro with pH
