Seems like my seedling is yellowing a bit and not sure if one tip is starting to burn

My seedling seems like it's turning a bit yellowish and also there is a tip that is slightly burning? Maybe the tip looks overly dehydrated? Also the veins in the leafs are yellowing a bit too. From the side view it looks like the new leafs are curled downward at the tips. I'm thinking I over-watered her. I watered her early morning 2 days ago. I used more water than I normally do and also watered a larger distance from the plant but it was not soggy by any means and no runoff occurred.

Medium: coco +perl pre-ammended slow release organic nutes (Down To Earth 4-4-4 and 4-8-4 ratio 75:25 respectively
Light: Mars Hydro TS600
Light Distance: 20"
Temp: 79-82F
Humidity: 55-62%
Pot: 5 gallon fabric

Is this overwatering or possibly another issue? Or...no issue at all and I'm just a noob on my first grow :P

1st you can't over water Coco
2nd Coco needs water/fed daily
3rd Coco retains no nutrients in it, thus daily water and feed


Have you done this type of AMENDED Coco grow before

I haven't but have seen people who have done so successfully on reddit, youtube, etc. Mr. Canucks Grow on youtube has the most compact information on it but there's been people on reddit that have filled in some gaps for me.

I thought that I would have to check the top inch or so of coco to know when it's dry? I didn't know daily watering for a seedling so small would be recommended.

Something that has been tough for me is being able to tell when CoCo is actually dry. Does dry mean dusty dry like desert sandy dry? Or is dry also considered when maybe an inch down it's still kind of darker than the top but half an inch deep seems completely dry. Any links, pics, videos, etc. of showing the difference between dry coco and coco that has ideal moisture level would be great.

You never let Coco dry out

Ever

Water/feed daily till 10-15% run off

You can't over water Coco. It retains nothing like what soil does

It's hydro not soil

Yeah that might be so. I might fail. If I do I'll start again and learn from my mistakes. I could literally fail doing any method. I think this method is harder to do because there isn't a ton of information out there about it in comparison to other methods. But it's worth a try, retry, and try again.

If you have seen this grow style before and have any links that might help me along the way that would be appreciated.

I've just seen the fails

And if your not feeding Coco daily, well, not beating this dead horse any more

Why go down a road prone to failure.

Good luck
