Nutrients problems/ newbie grow

I am VERY new at growing . This is my first run . I am working with clones . I was given the clones from another grower but every since I've been taking care of them , they've been yellowing . Clones I received were root bound so I transplanted to 3 gal pots. Previous grower told me to keep feeding them around 300 ppm but after noticing yellowing severely I was told to flush . I've had them for 9 days and I have no clue where to start as far as repairing them. I know they need oxygen it's obvious , they're light green all over . Newer leaves that are growing are green. I need an experienced eye to let me know exactly what the issue could be. Soil is advanced sunshine ultra coir and it's still currently drying from the flush . Soil is not drenched but is still slightly damp from flushing . PLEASE HELPPPP ps I was given a new clone of a different strain which is why the smallest one is so green . That one is fairly new and it is in ocean forest soil . Doing well..

First of all, that "soil" is a mix of coco, peat, and perlite. DO NOT let it dry out. Without pics it's hard to do good work, so... I need inbound ph and ppm and runoff ph and ppm.

I was giving them water with a ph of 6.5 and 004 ppm

First runoff when flushing with all plants was around 800ppm and 7.0 ph , this was when I first received the plants , I'm thinking the grower before me had already started the process of damaging them. I flushed all until ppms were around 200 - have not watered or fed since flush bcs soil is still damp

Pics are working, your math is spot on, your ph is too high. That's better than too low because they would be dead by now.

That stuff comes precharged, so could have been anything.

You have to drop that ph. After they dry up a bit and the pot feels "airy", light feed (1/4) with a 6.0ph with the smallest amount of runoff you can. Every time, water with a light feed until they start to perk up then increase feed as necessary.

You were told wrong. Probably over watered at this point. Let them dry out for a few days and post some pictures (when the upload is fixed).

I think they're overwatered at this point too , leaves are droopy on this plant especially

Thanks ! I guess it's just a waiting game for now

Coco retains 22% air, perlite aids drainage, and peat moss holds water well but is still porous. With a little breeze over the top and the bottoms off the ground, they should dry quick.

Too much nitrogen ? I was thinking they needed more bcs of the color , I currently have three diff fans running . Too much ?

That shape can come from being windwhipped too. The cupping and tip drooping combined. Try backing off with the air a bit.
