What are you feeding with when you say bloom nutes?
What is the NPK?
Have you ever checked the PH of your soil after top dressing with the coffee grounds?

Pics 1 and 3 look to me like a P deficiency.
I remember you mentioned using filtered water..........
Be careful, because depending how good your filter is, could be taking out some good stuff too.
I would try a few waterings using just straight tap water after letting sit out for 24 hrs, but do everything else like you have been and see if the purpling stops.
Damaged leaves will not heal, but you should be able to see if it stops affecting other leaves.
Awesome idea will do!!

The bloom sounds fine, but I'm thinking the coffee grounds may have changed the soil PH........
Check out that link, it mentions soil going acidic I think.;-)

Yeah I checked my runoff like week and half ago was like 5.3 so was putting 6.5 so roughly 5.8 maybe but it should be going back up by now ugh ill figure it out I fluffed up soil gonna see how they react to that and use regular tap water ph like 7.1 I think before I do anything to it . So I'm just use that hope they straighten up thanks everyone

WOW man, those are hurtin'.
I think a T-plant would help to get some fresh non coffee drinking soil in there, but IDK about the shock from trying to brush off all the old soil from the roots.
Sorry to hear about your dad man, I buried 6 relatives in the past 6 years, so I know how ya feel.

Did you just top dress with the coffee? Or did you mix it in at all?
If you just top dressed, I would maybe take one, tip it sideways, and try to rinse off the top of the soil into the bathtub or something.
Then, take another, and try transplanting, and try to get as much old soil as you can.
Do you have 3 affected like this?
If you have a third,, maybe just try flushing with water PH'ed at 7.5 or something to try and bring soil PH back up.
Either way, just give baby nute portions for a few days when you finish.

2 the shorter one looks more like calcium def... That's good idea flush with. Higher ph holy fucking amazing ... I over think shit to much and top dress the soil. But that was weeks ago but since then they have slowly deteriorated lol think ill go with flush of higher PH and maybe add tad bit fresh soil on top ??

I think if it was me, before adding any soil and burying any coffee grounds that might be still close to the top, I would try and rinse off the top, THEN add soil.
Ya, if it's gradually progressing, the coffee grounds are slowly making tea and seeping into the soil and giving you a lockout. (I think):bigjoint:
(unlike if you were to actually use a tea and PH it.)

Ok I'm take as much off top as possible lol :) then water and check ph runoff I think sound like a ok plan .... And thanks brotha I feel like I don't read enough so many variations of shit. Learning to accomplish lol

Hey, we gotta try different things to figure out what works best in our individual cases.:clap:
It's ALL a learning experience.
You may one day find something that you are happy with quality and quantity for a while, but then you'll see somebody's pic or hear their story, and want to make yours just a little better and try something new.
