To be honest it never really dries out as I feed them for 15 min 3x a day with lights on..
how many times a day should I feed ?
Should I only feed with lights on ?
An your probably spot on was struggling in the beginning with overwatering which did slow them down in veg a quite a lot !!!
Took the 2 curling off the feed now so I’ll let them dry out for around 24 hrs
Honestly thanks for the help bro

Looks like the are super over-watered and need some oxygen... Let them dry out, and keep a close eye on that shit..... Put a air stone in that shit....

Yep i agree. Overwatered and too much nitrogen ratio in you nutes. Are you using bloom fertiliser? Adding alot of calmag?

Very slow or no growth/bud development. If co2 is super low they will die. Do you have an extraction fan in your tent?

Ive never grown in coco, but ive been told in coco to water once a day, twice if warm/low humidity? Also was advised not to let coco dry out because the ppm will rise as the nute to water ratio the plant uptakes will increase??

Yeah 8ch out an 6 in an think everyone was right I’ve not fed them for 24 hrs an they look a little better already. Think I’ll stick to one feed a day

If your plants are matched up to their pot size and environment, you should be able to feed multiple times per day...but 3 may be pushing it a bit. I would ratchet it back to 2 times, shortly after your lights come on and again, maybe 2 hours before lights out, so they have time to work with your last feed.
I run coco and prefer a pH of 5.8, allowing it to swing up to 6.1 between reservoir changes.
And remember; different strains want different requirements. When we grow 3 or 4 different strains (hell it happens with the same siblings from the same strain sometimes) under identical circumstances, some will kick butt, others not so much...it's just the way it is. It's possible and logical that your plant's needs are probably all different, so you have to sacrifice some for the others in a way. When I first started this game, I couldn't have enough different strains going...until I realized it was difficult to maximize each plant, unless I was really willing to feed each plant differently. Now a days I run one strain at a time and just feed according to what they tell me...but their stories are a bit similar than not.
Good luck friend.

feeding 3 times a day lol. That's funny. I know everyone wants to believe Coco is Hydro. Water until you get a good a mount of run off and leave it until the pot is light again. Your wasting money on nutes, time and killing your shit by watering 3 times a day. Coco is a media, not hydro. But you do you. If you HAVE to water once a day your in too small of a pot.
These are watered every 3-4 days. Coco and perlite. I have zero need to water everyday.

I remember growing big bud x white widow from seed a few years back in a 6 pot dwc bucket. Put 3 seedlings in the same pot and one was very sensitive to nitrogen (leaves looked alot like Ajays, very dark green, the claw, leaves not praying.) but the other 2 were hungry for it had to sacrifice the nitrogen sensitive pheno and concentrated on the other 2 hungry plants. I now use individual buckets unless using clones from the same mother.

Its okay to use calmag (if you need it) but be careful not to overdo it. Calmag lifts your ppm and contains off memory an NPK ratio of 1-0-0 so will bump your nitrogen strength up. You need nitrogen pretty well through your whole grow but the ratio of NPK should change to match your plants feeding requirements at different stages of development. My personal opinion is that you may be using a grow nutrient and not a bloom (for flower) nutrient. Or adding something with a high nitrogen content? Can you see how dark green your leaves are? Also that curling down of the tips of the leaves? The sugar leaves are very skinny. All signs of too much nitrogen. You dont have any leaf tip burn so id say your ppm (nute strength) is not too high. Just too much nitrogen. Im not a coco grower so i have to be careful not to give you bad advice for growing in coco. (Above applies to using any medium) but you need to cut nitrogen right back for now, let the plant use the excess nitrogen in leaves. The leaves will start to look better and you want the leaves to lighten. Ive grown in soil and if it was soil id say youve over watered for a while also, those roots would need oxygen, Not sure with coco though as ive been told not to let the medium dry out?? I know some people mix perlite with their coco 60/40 something like that..? I presume it would be for this reason to help the roots get oxygen. Maybe one of the coco growers here could clarify this?

Good to know jtrizzy. I grow hydro and have grown in soil. Am going to do a few grows in coco. The thing that put me off was thinking you have to water once or twice a day!? But i like the idea of no res changes, running noisey air pumps, replacing air stones, pumps etc. Hated soil as growth was slow. But from what ive seen coco is nearly an in between. Do you recommend adding perlite to the coco jtrizzy? And at whay ratio? Nothing wrong with your plants man. They look good!!

Good stuff !! as it’s all knowledge to me as I’m brand new like I said am to be honest I’ve been overwatering from day one that’s been a little problem for me. I just hope the it’s not badly effected the end result 
With all this advise an the hands on practice with these lady’s now am sure I’ll end up with better results next time, plus fingers crossed coz since I’ve been on here getting advice there already standing better Which is good shhiiittttt !!!!
