- fine-ass '22 harvest!
Bil'-- Coco is a non-soil medium, and has specific requirements for nutrients when used,...if you treat it like regular soil, you will get poor results, always,... the orchid food technically has the right stuff, but it's formulation is wrong for cannabis and coco as well-- I know, as I've worked at on orchid nursery for years, and tried orchid food on my first auto grow= 
.... The genetics are NOT to blame here, Sweet is as good as they get, as evidenced by many fine grows of these very strains here.... at this point, there's nothing to be done for them, this close to harvest, except maybe getting that pH just above 6.0,...the color is normal for the strains you have; mine went deep purple at the later stages of bloom, just like they should... Without knowing the NPK #'sof the food, it's harder to say if they were starved or have pH lockout as well,...those low pH's will mess with availability, even if they're in the medium already,... All I can say is if you want to stay with coco, look up the coco grow sections here, info in books , etc., and learn what needs to done when using this more tricky medium!
