Why are you flushing?
Unless you severely nute burn her, never flush, ever.
The light green is early sign of lack of N, soon they'll be yellow. Feed her and don't flush. Other than that she looks fine.

thank you good sir!
I flushed with minimal amount of nutes, not plain water fortunately.
I got concerned that the plants might be going thru some problems.
Following Ed Rosenthal's guide on growing in coco, I thought a flush can't hurt.
I still haven't got the new pots, so today I will feed them again
So far I have been feeding them 6L of tap water +8+8 ml of Plagron Cocos A+B +2ml Aptus calmag-boost @ph5.8 @900ppm.
Do you think it makes sense to increase the nutes? if yes, how much? just cocos A+B or also calmag?

Flushing is one of those touchy topics that have voiced opinions on both sides.
For me personally, I believe "flushing" to be a last resort, emergency situation technique. I see it a lot, people flush for almost no reason in the middle of a grow, then a few days later complain about their plants yellowing up or growth gets stunted.
I'm not a coco grower, so I can't comment on that. But I assume the general rules still apply, don't take away a plant's nutes, ever. Only in extreme situations.

You are 100% right.
The plants were starving, that's why the symptoms.
I know now, because I fed them yesterday, increased the nutes by 2ml & plants look better immediately.
The biggest plant - sativa dominant - is still starving. I will increase the nutes even further.
I think 4 plants combined begin to get close to 50% of growing space in my tent
It's flowering time baby!!
I will give them a couple of more days to get used to the new pots, increase nutes in the meantime and if all goes well, I'll pull the trigger around Sunday.
I'll share some pictures later today.
