Just opinion, looks like that green algae is very wet. Maybe hit it w/ some diluted h2o2, if you're not too averse. The peroxide will get rid of that algae, that is robbing your roots of oxygen, and will help dry out your media. Try to keep the soil a little more dry. Get some more drainage holes. That should get some o2 in your roots. You also might want to get some cal-mag in there if that is coco. You might want to get your ph between 5.7 and 6.2 when feeding. If your runoff is higher than 6.5, you might want to do a flush before her next feeding. Just opinion.

when i see uniform large scale discoloration like that but no deformation of leaves i call salts issue.the water or soil has too high a salt content or some or mineral.need too transplant into some decent bag potting soil,dont over water and for the best.rinse root system when you transplant.only time ive seen algea on top of soil is when using backyard soil and fertilzing which feeds the algea organisms.get a brita water filter if your tap water did tht.soil looks decent so too much of everything for the little guy

I'm using a peat moss / perlite/ vercumilite / normal soil ? The normal has 4 week slow release nutrients and with the water I'm using a ph balancer it levels it at 6.5 so I don't have to add it up or down ?

no worries bro. dont mess with soil mixes first grow or nutes for that matter. best thing i can offer is get a bag of foxfarm ocean forest and just water when it needs it. at most i would say you can mess mycorrhizal cuz you coukd only help it. you need to experience a full cycle first before you tinker with stuff. i always say mother nature doesnt need our help.

i dont want you thinking about yield either.you gotta fix a problem then move on.again new growers should get a full cycle in no matter the yield.

Just let it grow, and stop feeding for a few feeds. Your new growth should be fine.

Water with 6.3-6.7 pH water, only when the whole pot is dry. Water until you have ~5-10% runoff, then let dry out completely.

Too much love is the number one cause of death for a new grower :) Don't change a bunch of things just because of a discolouration. Take your time.
