I dont see any deficiencies right now, just based on that one picture, but iv never grown in anything but organic living soil so definitely take @Blimburnseeds advice on the coco. You want that Ph a little lower than 7 so your plant absorbs nutrients efficiently

Fertilizer brands have acids to lower the pH, but with natural acids such as lemon juice or vinegar. There are very cheap meters in strips or drops in brands like terra aquatic, canna or hesi, good luck.

Dude, you can literally get testers
for as little as 4 dollars these days.

You are going to get what you pay
for though. I always recommend
Blue Labs around $100, you don't
have to go that much, but you
should definitely get something.

Soil PH checkers are notoriously
bad unless you spend a lot of
money & even then the readings
are questionable at best
(somebody please correct me if
I'm wrong on this).

You would be much better off
to check your runoff water imo.

Growing cannabis indoors is not a
cost free endeavor if you want to
be as good as the pro's around
here.

The old adage: "you've got to
spend money to make money",
holds as true for growing as it
does for most of life's endeavors.

Do yourself (and everyone here
trying to help you) a favor and
get off some money & get some
decent meters so you're not just
guessing at shite.

With pure coco, you feed daily, PH 5.8-6.0, for your input nute water, never give plain water unless you're flushing, then follow with an immediate feed. If you're using one of the two or three prong soil moisture meters, that also does PH, throw it away, they are notoriously inaccurate. Get a pen type PH meter. You also need a TDS or EC probe to check the PPM's of your input nutes and your runoff.

Looks swollen on top leaves with a slouchy posture which equals over watered/wet feet. She probably got a soggy, anaerobic bottom. That bucket is doing you no favors.

What exactly is your “soil”? It sounds like you let your coco dry out. If you’re in coco coir and let it dry out then that’s your problem.

Cut the first 6” off the bucket. Drill a bunch of air holes in the sides then shoot a fan on that girls root ball. She’ll be praying and dancing to the light in no time flat.
