I’m not sure what’s going on here with my new growth but it’s looking awful, any ideas on what I might be doing wrong or what this could be from ?

What would u recommend I do ?
It's not coco, he's using a mix of coco and potting soil, two very different mediums. I've grown in both soil and coco but would never mix the two.

basically see it out. Don’t mix the two again. More problems than benefits. Use extra perlite if you want better aeration/drainage in soil or just use pure coco…
Also as hydrodan said the leaf margins are puffy. How much do you water them and what size is the pot?

I'm not a pro, but that's what's my outdoor looks like when I don't water it enough. Maybe get a soil moisture meter?
It looks like a watering issue to me. Possibly some burnt leaf tips in the pics, ph or nute strength issue.

Im growing in my own coco & soil mix. My plants are doing fine. I use dry amendments, not liquid fertilizers. Im watering once every 4 days, spring water that is 7.8 ph.
I think your plant prefers a lighter dose of N. Ive seen that happen to a few plants that are light feeders. Your soil PH is probably very acidic.

I currently use dr earth exclusively now but when I was using flora trio I went by a schedule I found online with excellent results. Hwgrow.com. schedule calls for 2 feeds and 1 water to runoff to prevent nute accumulation. Measuring runoff ppm and reading leaves I found that I needed to do 3 feeds to 1 water when plants got bigger. Takes a few clicks from home page to the feed charts (photo/auto) tutorial link should get you there. Worked great for me just got old all that measuring and mixing for plants in different stages.
