Help diagnose my plant

Good day all, she just entered the 2nd week of flowering and I would notice every morning a couple yellow leaves at different heights along the entire plant. Maybe around 5-10 every morning. Soil is a coco coir, peatmoss mix, grown in the Caribbean outdoors. Using the fox farm trio, tiger bloom when she started flowering. I usually water every 3-5 days with collected rainwater, but sometimes she gets additional from natural rainfall, I would usually test the weight of the pot to know if it’s time for watering, it’s been on the heavier side since flowering.

Please don’t just go by my opinion, but I was under the impression you want to feed with nutes daily when growing in coco. Could be that the leaves are using up everything and falling away, may just need more nutes. I’m no authority so make sure you don’t just go with my info

It’s a mix with peat moss and coco, the peat moss has nutes in it. Also I even overfed with fox farm vege nutes. Thanks I will keep it in mind.

Peat moss is inert.
Between the coco and the peat moss there is zero nutrition going into the plant other than what you give it.
Even if the mix had some nutes in it to start, they're long gone by flower.
I think you should feed it more than every 3 days.
Yellowing leaves at that stage of flower usually means it's asking for more.

I did give some of the tiger bloom at start of flower and then again like 3-4 days ago but it didn’t change a thing. The peat moss I have is a brand called hawita and it’s supposed to have nutes present. I still fed throughout my plants life every other watering. So about once every week.
If I’m to feed again, should I do the fox farm vege nutes (big bloom) or the flowering nutes (tiger bloom) or something different?

My, and many others, routine is half strength every feeding, no plain water.
And more often than every 3-5 days. Even if they don’t need the water since you get some rain, they still need the food.
Even if there were nutes they get used up and leached out. They don’t last long. 3–4 weeks.
If your Bloom has a 3 or 4 for N, I’d use it the rest of the way.
You have a long time left to flower.
