My lady looks sick, what am i doing wrong?

The lady isnt looking too great atm and im just hoping someone out there can offer some help to get her back to healthy.

Just a quick run down
I started this plant (unknown strain) indoors but put it outside to start flowering so i could start some white widow indoors instead.
Im using coco and water with water between 5.8-6.3ph.
I was using terra vega nutes in veg
And then i had a mess up with some shit and the flowering nutes got put aside until everything was sorted.
Its now getting GT coco bloom nutes and a seaweed booster.
I occasionally add epsom salt to a water but only lightly
Currently week 4-5 of 12/12

Also when should the buds really start to boom? the last few days ive noticed a bit of growth but compared to some photos ive seen at this age it seems to be rather slow

Thats a great resource. Looks like magnesium. Sulfur deficiency is yellowing starting from base of the leaf also.

Your lower leaves are supposed to die off when you going to flower. It's nature the plant sacrifices the lower fan leaves in order to Bud

So once i get the calmag sorted it should be all good?
Also i know its not something you would normally do so late in flower but is it worth transplanting it into actual potting mix rather than coco since its outside? or will i be ok to keep going as is?

Let nature run its course. I mean if everything else is looking good, the lower leaves dying is natural don't mess with that. Think of it this way when your in flower you're replicating fall time of year. What do leaves do at that time of year? Your plant is putting everything into reproducing, the lower leaves will be sacrificed for this purpose. The plant is not supposed to be pristine green and vibrant when it's Harvest Time

i could be wrong but it looks like fert burn to me. i see you listed the nutes....who often do you feed them?

it's hard to say if they look light weight at this stage, for 4 weeks bud growth doesn't look that bad.

Needs a bit more nitrogen in her diet. Although it is generally known that nitro is somewhat less fed during blooming - There are heavy feeding strains ( like what looks like yours )..

You show the typical leaf - purple stem and yellow / fade with brown crispy leaves.

I get this problem once in awhile ------

I mix a 75% Bloom nute with 25% Veg nute when mixing its next feeding. The added nitrogen boost helps keep more leaves from being cannabilized too early.

Its usually my sativa strains that eat more ...

This is week 3 of flower and it is getting hungrier.

A layer of worm castings will prevent this in the future. If you use a lot of the blue end of the spectrum it will force your plants to use more nitrogen. Use a bigger pot next time and fill it one inch from the top. Also, you cant just throw a mature plant outdoors and think its going to be ok. If the plant has never experienced sunshine in its life you have to introduce it gradually. Looks like a little light burn mixed with lack of nitrogen. If i plan on moving a plant outdoors i sun them everyday from the day they germinate and give them T-5 supplemental light at night until they are 4 or 5 inches tall then plant them outdoors or use pots.

U over watered it and although she's trying very hard to go through the motions adding derived minerals is not a good idea..
I never use the median U use but pretty much what was last posted is the best thing U can do get some sea bird guano and mix 6 or 8 part casting to 1 part of sea bird guano and it's not going to feed the plant right now but U R amending the dirt ( providing that median will allow - I am not sure) probably 3 table spoons of that mix down about a 1/2 inch and to the edges then 1 - 2 table spoon every week .... good luck use soil and just amend it from now on. Let the dirt feed the plant.
What U are encountering is lock out so flushing and feeding are just not going to do anything - She is too old to significantly recover. I think it has locked out. Personally If U had too much iron there at least would be some nice dark green leafs some where ... Castings and guano's have cal and mag as well
