Nice work.

Your plants look great to me. Those trimmed leaves were showing signs of toxicity with the burnt tips. Most people like a slight burn though on the tips that looks kind of similar to a painted nail so they know the plant is just past optimal feeding and light.
I would warn to be careful mixing soil and coco. They run optimally at different pH spectrums and Iāve read can cause lockout of certain nutrients when mixed due to pH imbalance. If you want an amended Coco I would look at their Coco Loco line instead of mixing. If you want to stay with a peat moss base I would recommend perlite instead for the mix to improve drainage.
Happy Frog is amended just usually less than say an ocean forest product. Their true āseed starterā is light warrior which is supposed to be low amendments. Youāre still in veg and I donāt see any signs of burn. Leaves may be on the slightly darker side which can be an early sign of excess nitrogen and trending towards a pH lockout but isnāt necessarily unhealthy. Youāll want to monitor pH and watch for brown splotches on the leaves. Iād personally recommended pulling back nitrogen a little until they lighten up some. Since nitrogen is mobile and can cause leaves to replace bud structure late in flower impacting flavor, potency, and smoothness. I like to try and run mine where theyāre tending towards light signs of nitrogen deficiency (a few larger lower leaves yellowing is kind of what I watch for).
Also brown roots are typically a sign of over watering. I would advise evaluating your dry cycle in lieue of additional waterings with peroxide for cleaning.
This is only my second grow and thatās all just my own understanding so take it with a grain of salt.

Yessir 
Iām not gonna lie this may be a sign i was just thinking like wait my dumbass mixed coco and soil but i did add a heaping amount of perlite aswell plus some came with the coco mix but yeah it may but me over watering i cut back after the transplant i just did b2 and water at a ph of 6.4 900ml each just to drench the soil enough to reach the roots to start new growth should i flush my soil with just water and prox next water? Get the run off and measure? Iām interested never though of the ph in the soil 
my first grow was with soil from my neighbors yard it had everything in it.

Happy to send back some of the knowledge Iāve gotten on here. Iām still pretty new but thereās a ton of master growers on here including those that have helped you above.
Yeah I was looking at mixing them too at one point trying to combat my habit of over watering. I stumbled on some threads here though that warned against it. I know @OGIncognito used Coco Loco at least at some point with great success and I think itās an intentional blend of soil and coco but Iām not sure why that mix works when others warm against the general practice. He may have a little more insight for you on what if anything additional would be needed for that case.
You always want to measure TDS and pH before a flush to be sure itās needed. I donāt think youāre there either though, majority of leaves looking healthy just a little dark but theyāll use up that nitrogen through veg and stretch Iād bet. Hereās the approximate TDS by stage feeding chart Iāve been following. Then you want to feed so that your soil TDS sits around 1000. So if you measured 500 going in and then had 1200 coming out youād feed 300 in the next feed and vice versa if it was 800 coming out. Sorry if this is stuff you know or if itās been mentioned above, short term memory isnāt my best trait.

How much coco to soil ratio Grow Bro? Iāve grown in soil, coco, hydro and my go to bag medium is coco loco due to its cannabis friendly nature and how well it works for me in auto pots (a self watering bottom wicking system) the ratio I asked for is important for the feeding/watering frequency. Soil needs a drench to drought routine and coco needs daily feeding or at a very minimum needs to remain consistently damp so thereās a significant difference with these 2 growing mediums as far as feeding frequency and the PH used

Hey bro Iām using a mix this time about 75/25 happy frog 75 and coco /perlite 25 and worm castings and i really forgot to take in account measuring my soil phš

Is the coco for drainage ? I use happy frog also and was thinking about drainage seems soil starts packing in tighter the longer you have and water

Perlite is used for drainage aid

Gotcha, treat it like soil with a drench to drought routine and a PH of 6.3-6.8. Check the run off PPMs around week 4 using that Happy Frog, I consistently feed at 800-850 PPMs

Using coco in soil doesnt make pH problems but its still being repeated by those who never tried it. I can name at least 4 soils that use coco to add aeration and make it more loamy

It seems the autos like the loose soil and drier soils.
Beginning to think my issue is genetics from seed bank. This is the 4 th time I have had the stunted growth or mutated growing plants. Got new lights and all are adjusted will see what happens and will order new seeds. 
Sorry for the creation of threads bro but i just got actual numbers and i know the problem my ppm is 1500 itās too high i just dont know how to lower it @MedLifeCrisis @DRsDank

Just give plain pHed water to the plant and skip feeding until the ppm comes down to where you want.

Iāll add 1500 ppm isnāt that high out of typical range and is no need for immediate action really. My girls were there too right after the stretch from just 2 small over feedings.

Thanks so will that excess nutrient carry on to flower?

Understood i appreciate you guys

Yes the extra nutrients in the soil will hold out for a few but each PHed watering will lower the ppms. Just keep taking ppm readings and add nutrients when ppm numbers are where you want.
