There's chlorosis between the veins and red stemming, indicating a magnesium deficiency, however both calmag and alot of epsom salt (EC is within target dw) were used to fix the deficiency and it seems to still be progressing, is this lockout ? more info in the answer to this

Could be lockout, to help identify your deficiency issues I recommend reading this blog https://futureharvest.com/blogs/articles/how-to-identify-cannabis-nutrient-deficiencies?_pos=1&_sid=f81d0e725&_ss=r Because symptoms often progress even after applying a curative approach I'd just make sure you are following your nutrient schedule keeping EC around 1.2-1.5 or so and maybe go easy on the epsom salt. Often times its a good idea to flush the media of nutrients with alot of water and then just introduce calmag to your regular feeding schedule. Lockout can occur too when a plant's environment, watering regimen and temperatures are out of whack. Coco coir can be slow draining so make sure it dries out before each watering. Hope this helps! -Bryce from Future Harvest Nutrients

Optional flush with 6.0ph water before you prepare for the next feed. Wait 1 day if she is not fixed add more cal-mag and repeat also make sure your PH is 6.0 because you grow in Coco, 6.0-6.5 for soil, 6.0 Coco, 5.5-6.0 hydro 🍻

Your diary says 5.6 but you say in q 6.5 It sounds like what I've just had. Purple streaking on stem and interveinal yellowing. I upped the feed a little added calmag and within days looking better. Don't go by run off pH and don't try correcting it by over compensating. Lookup nutrient availability by pH and it shows you what pH certain nutrients are picked up at. Ppm EC can be looked at in the run off. If you don't normally water to run off then you may have a salt build up causing lockout. I see you do check run off EC and I see you only give 1.3ml/l of a&b. This could well be your problem. Put straight up to at least 2 and work up to3 then up to4

Refer to the last week in the journal starting from day 36, runoff pH is consistently around 5.6 whereas I've been consistently feeding 6.5, should I up the pH or do something else? Everything that i do is written in the diary so you can absolutely refer to that
