Getting back into it

I am just getting back into things after a year or two break. I had only done a few harvests before.
Anyways, just want some opinions on this. I self-diagnosed it as a deficiency, calcium maybe magnesium.

I am growing in coco with gaia green dry amendments.What do you guys think?
2 pics are what they look like now, the other one is what it looked like a week ago.

are you adjusting pH at all? are you in pure coco or some coco mix? i doubt its a true deficiency because of the clawing of the leaves in the 2nd picture. looks more like lockout.

I'd recommend using cannabis and coco specific nutrients and adjusting the pH of your nutrient solution to ~6.2 when you water.

Your plant is toast. Looks like way too much fert, perhaps light that too close causing damage and/or maybe spraying something on the leaves. Whatever the exact cause, the plant isn't worth keeping. Try again with light warrior seed starter soil, get the plant to about 1 foot tall, then transplant into ocean forest soil.
coco seems to bring nothing but problems as many don't know how to use it. the mentioned soils have nutrients in them to help take out the guesswork.

Whoa, this is ALL your opinion, and a very strong opinion it is. Maybe it's worth keeping for personal use. It'll probably make it to harvest.

Yeah my PH goes in around 6.5 everytime. I might invest in a soil-reader at this point just to help rule things out. My plant is 18inches from the light so I doubt it's that, although my temp is often at 80 instead of 75 where I would prefer.

Thank you. Just to be clear im using organic fertilizer not bottled stuff.

yeah this is what makes the problem really difficult to diagnose. coco is a hydroponic medium. best used with hydroponic nutrients. if you picked up, say, house and garden cocos A+B fed consistently and monitored pH, then we'd know for sure the problem is environment related. that is what i would recommend.

Ah. It's worth mentioning the other plants don't have this problem, which is odd. Oh well, I'll post back here next week with an update.

Because it doesn't look healthy. You shouldn't consume something that isn't healthy. Is anything being sprayed on the plant? I've never seen that kind of of leaf browning before; looks like the result of spraying but can't tell for sure.

Oh no, nothing was sprayed on it. It's literally coco coir+ organic dry nutrients... I think the other guy was right - maybe PH was a little off and something got locked out. Either way the flowers are nice and nothing unhealthy went in so I'm not gonna waste it.. I will post a pic in a few days to show you how it's progressed.

Also I can't seem to get the temp down in my tent, its often at 80-82% instead of 75. But all my other plants seem fine so..
