Especially not with coco which needs daily attention. If u went soil maybe woulda worked out better for your schedule.

Schedule was great up until about 3 weeks ago. Couldn't have predicted it unfortunately. Next time.

Yellowing has been progressing (along with burned tips now) so I think I am making the rookie mistake of allowing water to pool in the dish under the pot. Even though I have flushed recently when I noticed the burned tips (likely overcompensation when trying to correct the yellowing leaves) the plant has roots that go through the bottom of the pot into the dish thus giving it access to seriously high ppm water.
I've dumped the dish, flushed the plant with full strength cal/mag water, and am leaving her to figure herself out over the next couple of days. Hopefully I see either improvement, or at least stability (no progression with yellowing).

What size pots are you growing in again. And how much water are you putting through when flushing. Don't expect anything to happen really quick or in some cases older leaves to go back to perfect green just watch new growth

Old effect growth for most parts will stay looking burned or if they lost colour it won't come back
Strain?Some update photos.
The yellowing has definitely slowed down. I also removed 4 or 5 leaves that were very badly affected.
Hey TJ!

And how much water do you feed them when doing a flush. Depending on how much water you flush through may not have cleared out nutes

Good point; about 3 liters.

There could be your problem there you didn't really flush. 3 litres doesn't even equal a gallon. In order to flush you
Need to pour like 10 gallons(38 litres to properly flush. You could still be getting nute lock due to that

Copy that I'll make up a a Bout 10 gallons of water and give her a proper flush.
Ill still be adding the cal/mag to the RODI correct?

I probably wouldn't myself. But not 100% sure about that. May not hurt them. And water them slow too but the first 5 gallons through slowly. Let sit for like 5-10 minutes the put the rest through slow. Then let dry up to the point they start to wilt again then continue with nutes. Maybe only do 1/4 to 1/2 strength for first time

One other thing to keep in mind is I have no growing experience in coco so not sure if rules change when growing in that.

10 gallons is a huge flush so if you do that just PH the water then when all done I follow right up with nutes with calmag included. Remember you don't want coco to completely dry out or else you have even more problems.

I only ended up flushing another few gallons through; haven't had time (story of my life) to make any more RODI or really spend fussing with the plant. She actually does look a bit better. I have removed a bunch of very yellow leaves (dry, pale yellow, and curling down) from the lower portions of the plant. Most of these were new, young leaves sprouting out from nodes.
The new top growth looks decent, albeit with very short burns to the tips of some. The newest growth doesn't look burnt at all, and the yellowing looks to have stopped.
I did notice there were many roots through the bottom of the air pot that dried out when I emptied the dish the pot sat in. Hopefully not a real issue.
Post some photos in a day or two to track improvement.

Here she is.
Leaves are also curling downwards now, which they never did in the past.

Well if they just had a big drink that could cause leaves to dip a bit. Wait a few days she'll come back. What are your temps and humidity.

Ill post more pics in the coming days.
Once I'm confident she is in good shape I'll flip to bloom and speed this one along.
