They look to be running out of nutes. I'd either up pot ( they look like they're in small bags, could be problematic outdoors) or feed them.
I never ph water going into my soil.

You gotta let em be in 1 gal for 2 weeks generally in a greenhouse take em out then up pot for final home, that’s how I learned

You need to treat coco like any other hydroponic media. pH should be 5.5-6.1.
Problems are just going to get worse fast if not remedied
You can foliar spray some Epsom salt but its not a permanent fix. You need to ph in coco. You should be running off 10-20% of what you put in and feeding daily, multiple times a day as the plant gets larger. Good luck.

I dont really see dtw coco outdoor grows not hard to guess why, I do dtw coco. Itd be interesting to see a dtw setup in a green house but never seen one.

A peat based mix like promix has lime which aids in buffering the ph. Something like that would be a better idea.
It's not just that they don't 'look' good. What you see is the final part. The point is the plant can't uptake what it needs and you will have issues growing and flowering which will lead to poor quality, poor growth, poor yield, more prone to pests and mold, etc etc etc.

There's no need for calmag unless you're running ro water. Just keep your ph in check so the calcium and magnesium are available
You can get a reliable ph meter for under 100$
Ph up/down is inexpensive

Even an aquarium ph test kit is better than nothing and fairly accurate.....at least close enough to not cause major issues
