Yellowing and Reddening of older fan leaves

I’m experiencing a lot of yellowing that progresses into dark red blotches. I suspected a possible cal mag deficiency but after upping the dose multiple times I’m still having issues. Any recommendations on possible causes/treatments? Temp stays between 74-76, humidity around 60%

I'm starting to suspect the onset of lock out. Your ph isn't bad but not great for where you're at in her growth. I'd lower it to around 6-5.8 to get better up take of nutrients for the late stage in veg/bloom transition. Also you have quite the powerful light and even though twenty inches might seem high enough it does look like some light burn on some of your canopy so maybe try raising your light first for an easy fix as well as adjusting your ph for uptake. Hope this helps.

You have clear mag issues. Try use epsom salt. It'll be a much better injection of mag for your plant. 200ppm added to your ambient tap ppm so if your tap is 100ppm make a batch that hits around 300ppm (tap included) And for soil. A PH of 6.5-6.7 should see you through your entire grow. Your growing in coco. So you should be hitting 5.8-6.3. PH. 5.8 been more optimal for coco. Good Growing.

Those crinkled damaged ends and edges look more like nutrient burn to me. She's clearly deficient in magnesium but I think your issue here is PH you say it is 6.2 which is at the upper end of "ok" for coco. I had this same issue on especially my grow "Nesia" early on. My problem was the PH was 6.2 and it was too high, the magnesium was locked out. So I dropped it to 5.8 and that solved all my problems. So I recommend going back to 1.25m/l or whatever the recommended dose for coco is of your particular cal mag - and drop the PH down to 5.8. I am not sure how accurately you are monitoring your PH but if you check the PH of the run off that is a good indication of the medium PH. I have found that it naturally creeps up over time, and in some cases I have had to flush the plant with PH water to get it back down to the right range.
