What light cuz they dont need alot of light right now.
Ok....
Id be ph'ing at more like 6. Even a tiny bit over. But no higher that 6.5.
Any idea of the ppm of your feed?
NPK% on your bottle?
If you dont know your ppm. How much did you dose?
Was it the same colour before feeding today?

I'm using a COB light - the MIGRO 100. I have the dimmer on very high, maybe I should dim it down too.
I mixed everything in a 2L jugg at barely 1/4 strength. I am using H&G coco a+b, algen extract, roots excel, amino treatment, and calmag because of the coco. the feed in ppm was 500ppm. I poured until there was a little run off. I took those pictures after the feed but they were the same colour before the feed.

I wouldn't give more than 250ppm or so dude. 500ppm is a hell of a lot.
Flush it all a little. Just a tad of nutrient. Id just stick with your ab right now. Leave the rest until later.
Do dim the light as well. (you may be able to have it closer, if you do)
P.S.
I use straight coir myself.
I never use calmag either. Coir is naturally high in calmag already.
Unless you're using RO water. Dont even bother about calmag, until the need arises. Then just supplement a little.
Calmag is a supplement.
I'll dig up a great coir article for you. You'll find it very handy.

You are doing great, i agree with tweaks mentioned above...
Coco rocks! I started in promix-yuck now.
If you use a breathable container, cloth pot or vented rigid you cant overwater, period. Roots love it! I light nute all the way through, nute companies hate me... i myself just use Jacks 3 2 formula... three decent sized girls i bet i spent less than $5 in nutes start to finish. Notning against urs, they all work if used right, just tossing you future frugal option... my harvests havent suffered a bit in anyway.
Congrats welcome to tbe coco club, ur on the right track

My goal is quality over quantity. These two will be moving into two 3 gal smart pots once they fill the small cups they are in right now. My initial plan was one plant in a 5gal smart pot and using the whole AN lineup but a friend convinced me other wise and saved half my wallet in the process. With the money I saved I invested in these seeds ( skywalker kush - DNA genetics ). I was told that pure coco holds back the calmag so I would need the supplement which is why I added it. The next few feeds I will strictly use a+b until they get bigger. Thanks for the tips guys! More pictures to come and a lot more questions as the days go on!

You are wise beyond your experience! Buying good genetics will get you far more quality than any snake oil, i mean suppliment they will sell you at the hydro store..glad you are using smart pots, water every chance you can with super light nutes... skip one here n there...
I dont mean my anti-expensive nute stance to be douchey, ive bought everyone heavy 16 sells plus others... ive just cut em out bit by bit and not lost a thing... genetics, solid nutrition, non abusive enviornment and excellent light.. basic care and thats it in my mind.
