I have the same problem with mines, by any chance can be from the soil? too compressed or not enough breathing?

Leaf color
What you think about it? Is she getting too much? I’m not giving her too much in my opinion. Her stems are purple and the leaves are yellowing a bit. Watering always with ph 6,3-6,5 growing in soil. I have a diary from her too. She’s like 47days old. Happy growing!

Should I flush? (Overfeeding)
I think I have overfed my 2 dwarfs. Theyre showing signs like very stringy skinny new growth and yellow leaf tips. Theyre still growing and I dont want to stunt their growth, so all I want to know is if it is necessary to flush. Please tell me how to flush if so, thank you.

Leaf issues. Lockout? Need to Flush??
Leaf issues started showing up in 2 of 3 plants, progressing fast. Soil runoff tests have been v. high (2000ppm+) so we're assuming it's a lockout issue. We watered 1 day ago, with 200ppm solution so pots are still very wet. Better to let them dry out a bit or flush right away?

Should I be adding nutrients to my cloner bucket from day one or is it just better to let the roots start and move them straight to soil?

First time Coco coir. I neglected to check the pH before planting, and I can't seem to get the pH down from 7 to 6. I have tried rinsing with several gallons of 5.5 pH, no help. What is safe to add while growing? Thanks!

Yellow lower leaves on 8-9 week old plants - Deficiency or age of plant?
Lower leaves are starting to yellow on some of the plants. I think I have corrected my cal/mag issues but now these yellow leaves. Going into week 9 of flower. Is this normal because of the age of the mature plant or a deficiency? Or is it still cal/mag deficiency?

Help with lockout of deficiencies. Don’t know what to do from here I already flushed em but doesn’t seem they uptake anymore
Neut lockout/Deficiency? I was watering less more frequently in fabric pots. I believe it created a lockout in the 3 taller plants by not allowing more run off of water. Correct me if I’m wrong there but what do I do now? They are not looking well and now the leaves are curling
