Grow medium: coco coir, malibu compost, worm castings, and DTE amendments
Watering with liquid seaweed, urb, molasses and now calmag was ph to 6.8 new pHs was 6.3
rh is usually at like 58 on average and temps are usually at 83 days or 78 night
24 hours of light since i planted
i also transplanted it into a 1 gallon out of impulse
I think I made a mistake while washing the coco runoff was at like 7.3 and I'm not sure if i under washed it or the water that I was washing it had a high ph.
she was growing ok but then the leaves started to yellow and I assumed it was because of heat but now I'm not sure what is wrong and would like some guidance

im by no means a expert and ive never gown with coco so maybe take my advice with a grain of salt, but here goes they look like they are over watered...let them dry out a bit, but it could also be that your soil is to hot for them, is there alot of nutrients in your soil? and if there is did you dilute the soil around where the root ball is going to sit and grow into first?

thanks, i will let them be for maybe 3-4 days to get you some updated pics
and when I transplanted I flushed the new soil with water ph to 6.3 and runoff was about the same so I dusted some white shark powder where it was gonna be planted and I just barely dipped the root ball in some of the 6.3 water so it kept its shape and planted it into the hole then I sprayed it with some of the seaweed mixes not sure if any of that helps thanks in advance tho :)

How much coco did you put in mate?
Coco is a hydroponic media. The way to treat it best will kill a soil plant in a week.
If it's just a little for air flow/drainage then all good but you can't treat a majority coco like soil. It quite simply doesn't work.

Exactly. In fact do not let coco dry. Also suggest mixing in perlite. Not necessary but my preference.

Looks overwatered not underwatered to me. I’ve yet to have anyone explain why people keep growing in coco, as it seems they’re constantly running into problems. I’m sure super-experienced growers must have some utility for it, but it just seems to complicate things for everyone else. Maybe replant in soil so you don’t have to deal with it?

The only reason people struggle with coco is because they try to treat it like soil.
Feed quarter strength nutes every day to run off at the right ph.
13 words mate. That's absolutely all you need to know.
Do that and it's literally just about impossible to go wrong.

Try to treat it like soil though and you've got absolutely no chance.

A few tips:

As pointed out; it's better to run all soil or all coco, but combining them seems to cause a lot of people issues because of their marked differences in how they work. In the future, choose one or the other; it'll make your life easier.

You need to get rid of the clear pot....your roots don't want to see the light. If you don't have an opaque pot to transfer into, use duct tape to wrap the pot so your roots don't get light.

It looks like you might be letting your plant sit in its run off, allowing it to soak it back up into the plant? If you're doing this, you need to stop. Be sure your pot has plenty of drainage and toss the run off.

Looking at your plant, it looks short on Mg, however, you need to be sure your pH is correct, before making too many adjustments or you'll end up chasing your tail.

Good luck.

I agree on coco and blurple lights.

Thanks for all the help,@JustBlazin, @EvilScotsm@n, @Mrs. Weedstein, @CannaCountry, and @hotrodharley I've since been a bit busy but have had just enough time to make some changes. I duct-taped al around the side of the container and left the bottom alone for drainage, also I forgot to mention my soil does have perlite while on the subject. The plate was there so the water didn't spill everywhere but I won't keep it there too long moving forward. Also, I'm not sure what nutrient I'm giving it too much of or if I'm giving it too much light. I let it sit without water for 3 days and on the 4th I watered it with a mix with 1ml of cal-mag for 1000ml of water and changed its light schedule to 20/4 and I turned on the other blurple lights I have, the temps have been at 85f and 80 at night and Rh of 53. I also topped it. The last question I had was about the brown leaves, should I remove those or cut them where it starts. thank you for all your help in advance :)) all of your advice helped lots

The first few pics, they looked a bit wet. They are definitely looking a lot happier.
Also, any damaged leaves won't repair themselves. Always look for progress in the new growth.
