What is this in one pot?

Hello Growers

I am growing organically in a mix of soil, cocopeat, perlite, vermicompost in ratios of 35:35:20:10

Regular bad seeds. Growing outdoors, completely naturally.

One of my pots (orange one) looks fine, the other (Yellow one) has these leaves turning yellowish. I am definitely not overwatering. Can anyone help with what might be the issue?

PS: These will be transplanted carefully in 12 gallon grow bags. I use these pots for seedling purposes only. Never had issues with transplants.

Never plant more than one plant to a pot
Each plant has different characteristics and needs

They are to small to repot without stunting them

Did you combine coco and peat together?

Yeah, I would repot those right now.
Pick one medium, soil, or coco, not both. They take different ph's and feed schedules.
Soil is the easiest as long as you don't "help" too much imo.
Coco is hydo, so keep that in mind.

I bought a cocopeat block and used that. I am good with transplanting , so that shouldn't be a problem. I have done this in soil before. This is first time using coco coir.

I have read here from many members that mixing coco and soil is good for water retention. I am using fabric breathable pots for the grow. So, use only soil or coco??? Also is vermi compost good to go with coco???

I wouldn't worry too much at this stage. They look healthy and new growth looks fine, some plants can just have a paler colour naturally. That one in the yellow pot, got burnt out tips, the new growth on it looks good. Have you had these in direct heavy sunlight for prolonged periods of time or been feeding them by any chance ?

These is so much info on soil or coco growing out there, I don't know it all.
What I have experienced so far, warns me against what you are doing. I probably would have overwatered though:)

I didn't look up anything for soil, I just bought a quality seeming peat/pearlite/bark mix from the local nursery. I feed it hydro nutes.
Peat does it's own water retention, you don't want to keep it soaked or anything. Coco can be far wetter than peat and still do great, it holds much more air.
They are really two different applications.
Pls treat coco like straight hydo. You can mix 30% pearlite if you want. You water it to 20% or so runoff and not let it dry out. If you treat it like soil and let it dry it will hang onto minerals you want the plant to have.

Had them in sunlight, yeah. Did not feed anything. Just 10% vermicompost in the pot mix as stated in the original post.
