Hi i had wrong in chemic nutes about one month ago and my plant burnt and twisted in new leaves
After that i flushed and newer part back to normal growth now it’s about 10days leaves from bottom starting to loosen color and turn yellow and then yellow leaves tips burnt edges cralw inward like tacco and fall off eventually
But new parts and prefloweing part are doing great
Soil(coco peat-peatmoss-bermicompost) and about few cups coffee grounds in soil
Air pots 50litr
She start pre flowering 10days almost same time yellowing leaves happend
After flush i give her organic green house feeding nutes in low dose
My water is sitted for days ph around7
But i have no phmetet and have litmos paper ph test so run off water was about 7
I suspected in theae problem as i know my situation
1-over watering(i watered 2-3days but i check after 2days just surface of soil get dry and one inch below was wet when i watered )
2-ph imbalance
3-pest (there are mites damage in some leaves /white dots/ but this is not new and recently has a raise in damaged leaves just)
So I’m usuing neem oil sulotoin
My hot test housr is around 35 centigrade so i cover shady top of my plant (getting around 7h direct sunlight per day)
So what it could be?
And how stop this ?

Coco is coir and not peat. You're trying to mix a mostly inert medium with organic decaying matter in a way to big container. You do most things in the wrong way. To big container for the size of plant and you're trying to mix growing styles and nutrients. More is not better, I think you need to start your learning curve in the right end with understanding feeding strength, EC and pH.

Coir is basically a medium intended for hydroponics running mineral salts and should be treated as such. That being said people use it for "Supersoil" mixes etc with organics, but it's not very advicable for people starting out. It needs to be "cooked" and there's more things to grasp for a new grower.

A lot of newcomers have gotten here from YouTube lately. This sounds oddly familiar to Mr. Canuck on YouTube? He has no business teaching people about gardening practices. His plants leaves more to be wished for TBH. His advices only causes problems to new growers and threads like this.

So what does it say on the label? Colours and branding are fun and all but doesn't help in terms of troubleshooting the medium, what's actually in it and what's added?

Npk/mg (in macro)
Later i say ratio too
I don’t access now
My soil is mix of (cocopeat+peatmoss)+vermicompost which i buy it for use not making my own
About 3cups coffee grounds and brown dried leaves
also perlit was in my (cocopeat*peatmoss) organic soil that i bought

Why do you even consider adding coffee grounds? Like I mentioned, more inputs is not better and you're better of starting with the basics with mixing a complete mineral based plant food and understanding EC/ppm and pH.

Coffee grounds is for your compost, not your medicinal plants and herbs. Nothing wrong with the medium of choice, it's your way of using it that causes concerns. You're using to big containers for the size of plant and mixing different organic inputs that will only give you problems further along the growing cycle.

Peat is naturally acidic. If you cannot read a label to tell you if it's amended or not I cannot help you any further. You need to be able to gather info by yourself to be successful at this.

Coir leaches Ca and Mg and you might need to supplement with that throughout the cycle but it's probably not needed if you use a complete plant food at desired strength.
