You’d probably get more feed back if you take pictures in normal light . People frown upon pictures being taken in blurple lights and what not . It’s hard to tell what kind of shape your plants are in .

When you look at calcium deficiency and magnesium deficiency it certainly looks identical to your problem . However , your soil is hot . Meaning loaded with nutes . Not sure why exactly you’d have a deficiency. I’m new to this too . Merely theorizing .

I had to look so I knew what your using for sure, this is quoted from their website. I would start half strength nutes now. 300-500ppm range
"Royal Gold Tupur, pronounced (two-per), was designed with the idea feeding your plant as much and often as possible. It is a blank slate to create your own high performance feeding regimen. As a coco fiber based soilless medium, it requires high levels of calcium and magnesium to unlock its true potential. With an astounding balance of oxygen and water holding capacities, Tupur can be watered up to 1-6 times a day! This makes it an ideal choice for automated watering systems, especially drip (drain to waste or recirculating), Ebb and Flow. Even deep water culture, and aquaponics thrive in this unique and versatile blend. Yet it still excels in hand watered container gardens, with organic OR conventional feeding programs. This versatility has been key in Tupur quickly becoming a household name for cultivation experts and enthusiasts from coast to coast. NOW available in newly released .75 cubic ft plant-in bags (approximately 5 gallons). Also still traditionally packaged in 2 cubic foot bags, yet priced to compete with 1.5 cubic foot bagged products, Tupur can give you that extra bang for your buck, in more ways than one! Are you getting Tupur?"

No it's always feed, never water with coco. When you're feeding everyday or a couple times a day, the ppms don't have to be super high. I grow in coco and feed max 900ppm and that's rare. Plant depending I'm usually somewhere around 7-800 in flower. Let me find some things for you to read about coco.

I can't find the articles I was thinking of. Too early for me to be searching lol. Basically with a mix like your have, you don't need to worry about buffering it before use. But it's a must to feed every time, no watering. It throws the CEC out of whack. Always feed to 10-%20 runoff and don't let your plants sit in the runoff. I run flying skull z7 enzymes that eat salt buildup. This helps keep equipment clean of salt buildup and keeps the plants from even coming close to being locked out because of buildup in the coco. It also allows me to feed to a little less runoff in turn saving some money on wasted nutrients. Also never let coco dry out, ever. If it dries completely it throws off the CEC and plants won't take up nutrients well. Coco is a beast of its own, is in your best interest to learn how to properly use. Treat it like hydro. Ph range 5.5-6.3, I find in flower 6.2-6.3 is tits.

Best advice I can give now that your starting understand your medium is watch your plants. They'll tell you if they need more or less. I like to up feed, just to a very slight tinge of tip burn leaf tips and then keep it there. Anymore and your plants don't look as well and they can't use anymore anyway.
