Im using canna proffesional coco medium, in a 1m x 1m x 2m tent, 15 litre pots with a 600w hps bulb and small carbon filter. I can see to get my temperature any lower than 29.7 degress im starting to feel like its a heat problem. Im using canna A and B nutrients but have only used it once so far. That was 2 days after i noticed the discoloration i thought maybe they needed to start their nutes, also have used rhizo tonic 3 to 4 times with a dilution ratio of 5 ml to 3 litres of water

Im using canna proffesional coco medium, my ph is always between 5.8 and 6.2 maybe its the water im using ? Its straight out the tap and i leave it to sit for 24 hours. Plants are in a 1m x 1m x 2m tent, 15 litre pots with a 600w hps bulb and small carbon filter. I can see to get my temperature any lower than 29.7 degress im starting to feel like its a heat problem.

Hey man, im no expert but my 2c, not familiar with your medium is it straight coco? Im a soil grower but i would think they need nutes every feed as coco has nil in it, looks like nitrogen def from what i can see. Where i am is a heat wave so my temps lights on is anywhere from 28-32c and those girls are looking bloody awesome, i wouldnt worry to much about that temp as long as your getting temp difference between on and off. My input anyway, hope you fix things and all goes well heading forward.

Always water coco with a nutrient solution. Never water with plain water. You don't have to water everyday while the plant is small but never let the coco dry out. As the plant gets bigger you'll need to water daily until runoff with a nutrient solution.
Coco has nothing in it. It's not soil. You need to treat it like you would hydro meaning that the only nutrients available are what you provide. That plant is hungry. It's still rather small so don't go crazy with the nutrient strength. Feed it half strength daily until it gets bigger. It should pull through just fine if you start feeding it properly.
You should probably be over in this section of the forum as well since that's where much of the growing in coco discussions take place. Good luck.

It depends on how wet the coco is whether you water or not. You typically water coco everyday and sometimes multiple times a day unless the plant is small like that. If the coco is really wet then don't water. If it's just damp then go ahead and water with a nutrient solution. It also depends on how big of a container the plant is in. If it's a small one gallon then water away but if it's a five gallon container that is still wet you don't want to keep watering it with such a small plant. Some people say that you can't overwater in coco. That's not entirely true. If you keep a small plant in constantly wet coco you won't get the explosive root growth coco is known for. Damp coco is good. Constantly dripping wet coco is bad for younger plants root development.
You also don't provide any information as to how you prepared the coco. Proper preperation of your coco is critical for a successful grow. If the coco is not properly prepared you can end up with problems right from the beginning. It needs to be rinsed and buffered properly. Good coco already comes rinsed and buffered but you should always run a weak nutrient solution that has ample amounts of calcium through it before using any coco. You will need to get some CalMag since the nutrients you are using will not provide enough. Your plant appears to be 3 to 4 weeks old. According to the Canna feeding chart you should be feeding 15 ml. I usually say to use less than what the nute company says but since you've been starving that plant and just running plain water through that coco you should probably bump your nute strength to match the feeding chart.

Oh, forgot to mention. I've grown White Russian before and it's a high yielding strain. I grow in coco as well and found that White Russian is a very easy strain to grow that produces big dense cola's. Here's a White Russian grow I did a few years ago. These were grown using a 600 watt HPS in 3 gallon fabric pots of coco using blumats. In case you don't know what blumats are they're a self watering system.
