They look hungry...more N...g/l
I double it with next watering?

Don't double you might get nitrogen toxicity. Up your fert slowly each feeding.

Not sure why anyone would grow in coco? Because it works great and gives you excellent yields and quality.
How often are you watering and what are you feeding them. That's important information.

I love coco, with good drainage coco pretty much impossible to overwater... i agree up nutes slowly, its a marathon not a sprint, they arent so devoid of N thry are gunna die so no need to rush the solution and over due it... once you find a spot ur happy with on nuts, or really that they are, i suggest feed feed water. I also agree you should look at drainage as there is a bit of droop.. i drill huge ass holes all over bottom and sides of pots or use a damned laundry basket or milk crate. I line it w weedblock fabric to hold coco in. I can water daily w no overwatering issues because coco holds oxygen like crazy.
In your case big holes not option until a transplant. But if you dont have good drainage hit it w a small drill and get a way for that coco to suck up air..

Hey man its clearly impossible to tell you what your probs because we dont know:
-how many ppm/ec
-u watering with nutriments 1 out of 3 watering or 2/3??????
As i see the pics, it can be overfeeding or underfeeding but both have pretty the same symptoms because when u overfeed your plants, it stop to eat nutrients because the high amount of salts in your substrate and your plants becomes underfeeded... so can someone really tell you whats the probs????? I guess not
Peace

I'm not saying ppm and ec are useless, as that's not true but many of us do this without those... I prefer learning the art of it and not using those, getter by to know the girls and over time knowing what they need...
Please don't think I'm saying bomb is wrong for using them, just noting there's different strokes for different folks and a million different ways to grow successfully.
What you gotta do is take the advice u receive and try different things to develop your method and style

Coco should be watered with nutes every time, every day to 10% runnoff min 20 to 30% is suggested. Not useing a tds meter is prefered when you know your strain personaly and dialed in your scedule. Untill then having one can be an invaluable tool. How else can you tell your problem isnt a salt build up in the medium. With coco runnoff tds should be tested once a week if tds is higher than the tds of the feeding by more than 100 ppm than you need to flush with your full strength solution untill ppm are within 100. I think your problem is ph 6.3 is a bit high. 5.8 or 5.9 is ideal.

On page 2 there is a work up of the nute line i am using. This can be done with a tds meter and some math and the info on the bottles. With the work up now if i have a deficiency ot toxisity i know down to the mil what i need to add or take away without worring if when im adding say more calcium i am not also adding to much nitrogen ect or if taking away say nitrogen i am not also taking away oh say to much magnesium.

Water those puppies when the top half to one inch gets dry until 10% runoff with nutrient solution.
You can't go by days you have to go by what the plant needs. And in coco you feed every watering.

I feed, feed, water in coco... I just don't think there is anyway those girls can eat every nute every day or two... I think it would work just fine to feed daily but I think it would be overkill myself. I've seen no adverse effects of feed feed water...
Do you guys that feed every water are you feeding at full strenghth defined by the nute company? Or dialing it in under every water feeds?

What the nute company says is only a guideline for general users. However, what is important is what's in their nute and not the label. Once you know how to use their content individually or in combination with other nute from other manufacturer then you would be able to dial in your own recipe. To understand mixing your own recipe....
1. Find a reliable source for the nutrient profile of the cannabis plant....usually they are in ppm.
2. Know how to use a nutrient calculator or know your tds meter
Once you know the nutrient profile and understand the individual macro and micro ppm, you can feed them however you want. You can feed them at low strength(just a little below the nutrient profile) daily with water for every 3-4 feeding, you can feed them at 100% of the profile and just water after that for a while or you can wait for a sign of deficiency and feed them with just that specific deficiency. The really good thing is you're no longer bind to a specific label/manufacturer, you can pretty much use any fertilizer at hand even miracle grow
I have a conundrum of fertilizers and I use all of them, no loyalty to a specific brand. Heck, I even use an orchid fertilizer

Might as well give an example and hope it help you guys in understanding fertilizers.
Example: Koolbloom - very well known as bloom booster
1 tsp(or 5 ml) of Koolbloom per gallon is equal to....
N - 26 ppm
P - 259 ppm
K - 307 ppm
Mg - 13 ppm
Now knowing the individual ppm, I can use this fertilizer at any stage of growing MJ. If it needs a high dose of K, most likely half a tsp per gallon. So the label that says its a bloom booster doesnt stop me from using it during veg stage.
I do this to every fertilizer I have.

Same. I am reviewing a nute line and did a complete work up of it on page 2 of dynamos emerald harvest coco run
