Yellowing continues now other colors too

To start, I’m in ffof ph 6.8-7.0 water at 6.2-6.6, adding silica to tap that has been dechlorinated.
gelato 33

The yellowing started at the tops but progressed further down. Originally it started out as just affecting the space between the vains of the leaves now it’s affecting all of it

Let me know what you think this?

Here is the whole plant(s).

Could be an iron deficiency. But I would ignore that for now. Do you put the pot back in it's saucer when you are watering? If you don't I would do that and water from the bottom until it stops drinking with whatever you normally feed with. Put a few inches of whatever that is in the saucer, go away and come back in 10-15 minutes, if all the water is gone lift the pot to see how heavy it is. If it could still feel heavier, repeat with the water. There is every chance you have dry patches that are not recieving water inside your pots. Add some plant starter or seaweed to your water as well. When done lift the planter back up and make sure it is much heavier than it was before. Try to go through a wet dry cycle lift your pots to determine when to water and maybe as some further advice you don't need pots quite that big either next time. Half that size will allow the plants to have a decent size rootball and achieve a more user friendly wet dry cycle. Feed at half or quarter strength as well. If watering is not the problem then I suggest you have a ph problem! One of your fertilisers or additives is causing a nutrient imbalance. If you are not using fertilisers then treat as a deficency and apply a complete fertiliser at the next watering. Cut out the silica which may be the cause of the problem, as from memory some people use silica as a ph up. Use Maxicrop or something with seaweed in it at half or quarter strength and plant starter at half or quarter strength. Best of luck

I know those are too damn big but they were what I had at that time. They do have weight to them though

Looks hungry. Need more info.

If they have weight then make sure they dry out quite a bit before you water them again. Overwatering may be the problem here causing aneroebic conditions. If you have been letting the pots dry out between waterings then consider getting rid of the silica and going with a general purpose fertiliser with seaweed and plant starter as an additive. See how you go. No need to ph just use at half or quarter strength with each or every other watering. Step up the amount a bit if the leaves at the bottom start to yellow before you want them to.

Upon further investigation they are indeed light.
I’ll stop the silica and up feed from every 3rd water to every two

Shitcan the silica …… that element makes your ph rocket.
Tap water doesn’t need “ dechlorination “ if you are just trying to gas off.
Tap is fine as is , calcium and mag are already in it Too.

You can start ( literally right now ) at a minimum …… top dress them with fresh FFOF , ph water it.
Not only it refreshes medium ( due to imbalances and exhaustion ) - it literally is what plant is acclimated to.
I got a feeling you haven’t been feeding it …. Only what medium does. If so you basically tapped it out.

You can also get a simple 4-4-4 general dry fertilizer ( DTW / DR. Earth / Happy Frog fruit and flower / others )
Add a tablespoon or so , scratched in to top soil and get some food in them. That feeding with dry will break down over the week.

I would do both …. Top dress with more FFOF with dry fertilizer added.
IMO

I think you mean DTE (Down to Earth). But I hear ya.

Another way would be mix the FFOF with the amendments and topdress with that. That's what I do, but with EWC or compost. I add a little pumice too for aeration.
