What is Wrong Here? Cream & Cheese Strain

I am having an issue getting this strain to 100% health.

The White Widow strain I am growing in the exact same conditions is looking perfectly healthy.

Any idea as to what the problem is?

I have some suspicions:
  • Fungus Gnats (I have a lot of them and have been trying to get rid of them)
  • PH imbalance (the other plant is thriving though)
  • not enough Nitrogen (but I recently transplanted them so they should have plenty of nutrients)
  • Iron deficiency (growing in Coco, so I know this can be a problem. However I added greensand, which I know has Iron)
  • Could be a watering problem?
The medium is all organic, coco, worm castings, 4-4-4 fertilizer, and a few other amendments.

Any insight would be appreciated!!

Below are the pictures, starting with White Widow.

I like to use a calmag with iron for coco-there are a few on the market. The greensand takes a long time to become available, it's good stuff don't get me wrong-I dump some into my outdoor beds every few years. Do you have any liquid nutes you could feed them?

I try to stay away from liquid nutes because I heard those kill the microbial life in the soil. But If there is a good organic one on the market I'd consider it. Also the 4-4-4 fertilizer I have has 1% magnesium. So I could spike the plants with that
 
So your using Coco, then added stuff that shouldn't be in Coco, and I assume you don't feed daily with nutes either, is yer pH even close to 5.6-6.0?

Am I close here?


Oh and it's NOT soil, it's coco, coco retains nothing, thus the feed daily with it

My medium is similar to Canucks Grow method if you've seen his videos on YouTube.

So I use coco, 25% worm castings, fertilizer (3tbsp/gallon), and a few amendments like oyster shells and alfalfa meal. I compost tea every other week or so, but other than that I just top dress every month. I do not feed daily.
 
Coco is water/feed daily, it's hydro

Nutes don't stay in the Coco,thus the feeding daily at 1/4 strength nutes

Adding stuff just creates issues for uptake of nutes.
Not feeding regularly does the same

Amending coco is pointless since it just washed away
 
I have yet to see a successful grow using dry nutes in coco.
There is a thread in the organics section called the Official Gaia Green Method that discusses dry amendments........but all those using them are using them in soil.
 
Water with plain water + 2ml of CA/MG (per gallon) next few feedings. Not until 10% or 20% runoff / stop watering right when you see a drip fall. You're getting locked out.

If this doesn't work and your plant dies I will quit growing.
