Could still be over watering. Looks like your soil doesn't drain very well unless that's some coco mix, but doesn't look it. I don't see any perlite. So it could be that your drainage isn't good enough. Looks like a simultaneous N and sulfur deficiency. Yellowing from both ends. I think the drainage is your problem, too wet and locking out the nutes.You shouldn't need more nutes this young if the medium is dry enough for the roots to take em up. If doesn't get better after that, those nutes should help the N but if it lacks sulphur you can use rain water or mix 1 or 2 teaspoons of epsom salts per gal into the water until new growth stays darker green. Man it looks pretty far gone already though. Good luck.

Do not flush your soil...but do let it dry out even further before watering...like when the top is dry and the pot feels light, then dig your fingers down 2-3 in in the soil and if you still feel wetness then wait another day...so when the pot is like spaceman float away light then water...and I bet the plant will look better! Just give it a shot...but after you let it super super dry out you need to like let the whole pot of soil soak in some plain water...Unless it is a larger pot then it appears to be. Just make sure to saturate the soil when you do water...and then do not water again until it is totally dry again...you will be amazed at generally how much better the plants will look.

Coco alone is easy to overwater...I don't care what anyone says...It takes it forever to dry if I don't mix a good deal of perlite in...aww man, but with some perlite I get amazing results and am able to water more than once a week...lol

LOL thanks a lot it was my advice first... jk .... I guess i didn't say plain old water less but your going to have to with soil that thick. Your still going to be too much water not enough oxygen every time when you water because you should be fully saturating it as missnu said. So next time add 25% perlite, its so cheap so it will bring down the cost of soil and it will help you drain to a nice ratio of air to water in the soil when you feed. Hard part is mixing it in evenly. I use a tarp a shovel and my bathtub. good luck.
