Repotting in lighter soil

Hello,

I have had some issues with my plants who are living 11 litre fabric pots with ecothrive soil. The soil seems to be dense and some have adviced to repot and flush ect.

I have some old ecothrive soil which was mixed with coco at 70% soil and 30% Ugro coco. Does anybody think repotting to a lighter soil in a 30 lire fabric pot would be a bad idea? I have cannazyme to use to get rid of any smaller roots from the old grow.

Any input would be appreciated.

The ladies at the back are the ones struggling and need repotting but I may report the smaller ones also.

What makes them seem like they are suffering? The plants seem to look ok to me, maybe a touch light green, but maybe they are just ready for food now instead of plain water? If you are going to up pot them, I would use soil and mix in perlite if you want to mix something in. I personally feel like mixing coco in soil is asking for issues when it comes to salt buildup and stuff like that. To me, they are 2 different media's that act very differently.

Well they seem to always need water even after being watered and they have the yellowing of course.

I have been giving them organic feed which is biobizz fix mix and seaweed. Would there still be a salt build up if using organic nutrients and watering to run off once per week? The reason I ask is that I am trying to avoid buying soil as its 45 pounds where I am and I have to get alot of other things.

Do you think a plant that size can be happy in just a 11 litre fabric pot until the end of flowering?

This is what the roots zone looked in one plant I took out which was yellowing ect. Looked odd and like the soil was not draining properly.
