I’m getting a deficiency and not sure what it is. Week 3 into flower 5g pot of coco. It’s happening on the fan leaves, is this a nitrogen deficiency or a cal mag? It’s living soil so not sure what’s going on right now

Hey fellow Seattleite. I was born in Seattle. I miss Ivar's, Dicks, and all that shit. I'm in CO now. Send me some blue ringers, lol.
Seriously though, that looks like pH issues or lockout. I rarely see people using organic dry amendments with coco successfully.

Peat moss is a better option, but you certainly can make a living soil with coco. I wouldn't recommend it though personally.It can't be living soil if it's coco.
7 Important Things When Building a Living Soil
There are many recipes out there for mixing your own potting soil. I've tried a bunch over the years, including most of the commercially produced soils on the market like Ocean Forest or Pro Mix. I'm convinced that with a little bit of work, you can produce your own soil using many local...

The leaf mottling can also be genetic… many strains throw this. Looks like TMV but can also display variegation in leaf pigments.

Found a big bag of Nectar of the Gods One Shot fertilizer thats fish bone meal, kelp extract, alfalfa meal, worm casting, ferrous sulfate, feather meal, kelp meal, soybean meal and limestone thats 2-10-0. I'll top dress the babies when the lights turn on in 45 minutes.

This guy is the soil god/growing god.... tho.... id go with him before me or anyone else.. I just thought it may be K def... i battle with it with my soil grow and cal mag issues..... Always keep that PH right.. step 1. go from there, but this dude knows what hes talking about. But even if you did buy the kelp...Its always good to have and I think Budz would agree with me on that, and Neptune's has a cheap seaweed water in mix with 0-0-1 npk... got mine at agway, if the dry nutes dont perform well in the coco.
