The lower leaves are making me think phosphorus, but that doesn't explain the light green/yellow upper leaves. This might be a pH problem, affecting a number of nutrients.
What's the pH?
I didn't see it was 100% organic. My apologies. And hes right.Organics gone sideways can be really hard to correct.
What are your lights on and off temperatures?
What is the organic soil made up of? Watering practices?
To me it looks like its not transpiring enough to draw up enough Calcium, and looks like its in a hot media so some other nutrients are getting locked up. The leaves shying away from the light indicates they can't use as much as you're giving them also, I'd back that off or turn it down a bit.
Your over watering which slow uptake of all the different deficiencies your seeing. Back the light off and let it dry out... the plants not taking up enough nutrients to support photosynthesis. When you see multiple deficiencies it's almost always a lockout or uptake issue.
Temp can also play a big role in this and to small point humidity. What are they?
Hit it with some Recharge to help regulate ph and give a top dress with some bloom.
Looks like mag and phos issue. Both will have similar symptoms. Leaf turning yellow then turning brown at the end is a phos def symptom. Red stalks is usually mag but could be the phos def as well. Epsom salt mixed 1.5 tablespoon per gallon of water and whatever bloom top dress you're doing should fix it in about a week.
Being mainlined I assume it's also quite an old plant? How many weeks veg to get to this point?

I think you're over thinking it a bit. Could be ph my guess is lighting. How old is that plant. If its young its impossible to have a deficiency how old.?

It’s not too difficult. Fox Farm soil is dirt. It’s like any other other dirt you buy, it’s DIRT. If you have really great dirt with tons of organic material, you can plant a garden and stuff will grow lush and green. If you have sandy or clay soil with little organic matter, and you don’t use fertilizers, your garden will be weak and pathetic. Almost all farmers use fertilizers in order to grow crops. Fox Farm isn’t magic dirt or living soil - it has some earthworm castings, bat guano, fish and crab meal. There’s no way you can expect a bag of FF dirt to supply nutrients for a cannabis plant, which are heavy feeders, beyond a seedling.
Great White and Recharge are not nutrients. They’re primarily mycorrhizal and beneficial bacteria and fungi, that live on organic matter, which has been depleted from your soil months ago. You have no food for the microorganisms, which in turn are supplying no food to your plants. No amount of lime (which is seriously missing with your pH), mycorrhizal (which are probably either dead before you apply or shortly there after), molasses (which is primarily used for ginger snaps, not plants), moving your lights up and down, turning up the AC or watering more or less is going to do diddly until you provide nutrients. Really your plants aren’t that different from you - sure it’s nice to crank up the heater on a cold day, but if you don’t have a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup, you’re going to die. You’d be better off with a box of Miracle Grow or pissing in a bucket of water, than using Great White or Recharge. For the love of God and all that is holy, feed your poor plants!

Sorry not trying to roast you, but drives me crazy that you’ve been sold a load of nonsense about how FF soil is some super soil and using mycorrhizal/microorganisms products are beneficial. It’s like strapping a spoiler on your Honda Civic hoping you’ll win a Formula 1 race. A car spoiler does have a use, but freeway driving isn’t one of them. It’s not that these microorganisms products are completely worthless, but they aren’t a magic bullet and unless you have all the basic dialed in, a complete waste of your money.Don't roast me, I'm trying my bestWould you recommend this https://www.stepwellsoil.com/products/stepwell-soil-bloom-top-dressing?variant=32930517090444 Would it be enough? I have the flora trio at home too
Nutrients are most definitely THE problem, simply because you don’t have any. It’s like not eating for a week and saying “I don’t know why I’m so tired”. Fox Farm dirt is not going to supply enough nutrients for a cannabis plant, no mater what you’ve read or heard. Your plants need nutrients from some source. There’s not enough in your bag of dirt, so how would there be too much in your pot?I also want to add, I gave the plant marine phytoplankton around 2 weeks ago which is high in nitrogen and it immediately gave me a slight nute burn, half dose too. Which made me think nutes are not the problem
