No way to test it unless I order a pH meter online.
Possible deficiency with a (supposed) Columbian Gold landrace

It could be that your soil is simply out of gas. Pre-mixed bagged soil wont contain the nutritional value needed for multiple no-till runs the same way a custom amended soil mix will. Try a top-dressing of fresh worm castings before your next watering. You could also try making an AACT with a small dose of fish hydrolysate.
Depending on the source of your coco-coir, it may contain high levels of salt. Even low levels of salt will burn a sensitive plant. Good practice to rinse you coir with clean r/o or distilled water before using. A good pre-rinsed brand is Botanicare CocoGro.

It very well could be, that was my first thought. I was actually contemplating this morning to transplant her. Her feet have to be getting root bound in that planter after almost 6 months in there.
You mean this brand
It's great stuff, thankfully my local hydro shop owner carries a fair amount of good stuff for us organic growers.
Do you think it would be a waste of my time to transplant her to a larger container like a fabric planter or do you think the shock would only add insult to injury?

I just checked and I used up the last of my castings potting my green bell peppers.. The only thing I have close to castings would be some fish compost from oly mountain.

Edit: the compost should work.

Awesome! I'll do that now and post how she's doing tomorrow.
Would some aloe vera be a good thing to water with once done?

So far it looks as if the damage is limited to only the fan leaves so I'm hoping she'll flower unhindered.

Wow that's a really pretty bud structure. What strain?I think she will be fine, here are mine @ about 4 wks: View attachment 3363175 Completely Organic /
I'm hoping she'll make it the rest of the way through flower, if I'm right on genetics she's going to flower around 90 days, and I'm only on day like 35 or 40.

90 -day flowering? What strain do you have? Even full-blooded Sativas finish under 90 days (most of them). My strain = Durga Mata II -(hybrid of 2 Super Shivas, selected for resin content). Paradise Seeds is the breeder

Supposedly it's columbian gold, or a cross that's very close. I flowered to 70 days the first time I grew her out and she still had a bit to go before she would have been done. At 50 days I get fresh pistils still. I'm going to start cutting her daylight hours slowly by half hour increments every week until I get to 10 hours on / 14 off during the last 4 weeks.90 -day flowering? What strain do you have?

Dude, great idea, except you don't have to do it gradually. Flower her 12/12 for 50-60 days, then change timer to 8/16. Her ass won't have any choice but to hurry up & finish. Make sure you flush also- Peace-

That's true lol. Sometimes I forget cannabis doesn't need you to replicate nature perfectly.Dude, great idea, except you don't have to do it gradually.

LoL- It's allright
Just follow the method I outliend for you and I can Promise you, the plants will have no choice except start finishing up quicker. Just make sure the plants have a good "structure" ie. solid looking buds before you go 8/16. Your yield won't suffer if you do it this way.
