Help With Diagnosis--Light Green And Dying New Growth

Here goes, anything anyone can offer is greatly appreciated.

Just started using King's Mix from Royal Gold, my first foray into coco growing. I'm an indoor soil guy, but as I'm fairly new to this, still looking for the most effective, inexpensive and 'organic' or 'natural' way to make these babies big, beautiful and tasty.

I popped this seed from a friend who said it was a feminized Gorilla Glue from buddies in Oregon. It's about two months old, been topped. Hoping to clone her but still haven't seen sure signs of her feminine ways. Put a cutting under 12/12 but didn't really complete the test as my ladies were finishing flower... anywayss...

Been feeding with a kelp powder/molasses/bat and seabird guano/worm casting/homemade lactobacillus compost tea, a little guano mixed in with the King's mix, then plain tap water that I hold in a trash can every third or fourth watering. Everything had been going great. All my other strains are happy. Under an 8 bulb T5, temps between 65-75.

Again, grateful for any help or words of wisdom.

Good thing you're in coco. Take that out back and flush it out with a garden hose. Let it dry out and then feed it 1/4 strength nutes of any basic nutrients. Forget all that organic stuff unless you are growing in soil. Treat coco like hydro. PH is extremely important when growing in coco. 5.8 - 6.2
With that nutrient burn it will take a couple weeks for that plant to recover.

Vostok is right. Replant in soil for this plant. If you want to grow in coco there is a wealth of information available on the internet. This particular site doesn't have a dedicated coco sub forum but there are other forums that do. I do know that some people are growing organic in coco and are having very good success at it. I'm just a simple guy. Calcium nitrate, monopotassium phosphate, micronutrients, some fulvic acid, a little epsom salts. Works great with coco.

The coco mix I'm using does have peat and some small nutrient additives. I'm trying to ride the line between hydro and soil, if that reads... I've done some research and have seen some people rocking the combination.

I followed your advice xtsho, flushed her out yesterday. Today quite a few of the browning leaves are now totally dead. Some leaves/new growth appear to be fine though. I also moved the canopy from 6 inches below the light to more like 10.

Gonna keep her on a light nute regimen and see where that takes her.

Thank you all for the help.
