Yeah sounds right go bake a fat jay chap and flush them babies out! I love coco its the dogs spuds my friend but plants aren't overly keen when you don't feed them a decent solid regime like canna coco A/B which has lots of added cal n mag in it because coco just holds it like a magnet after you plants taken up the potassium... read the canna's view here its good reading http://www.canna-uk.com/how_use_coco_coir_as_concept

At work right now so I can't do much to help. Have you flushed yet? If you do flush them put with three times the volume if your growing medium. Then give them a micronutrient formula, such as earth juice microblast. Then do your best to discover what caused the problem initially. Check out the plant problems thread, the articles at the top of that page are written by experienced growers.

I don't know much about growing in coco but am pretty sure it doesn't provide much nutrition. Is three times per week in coco standard for feedings during veg?

Well there really is no standard... everybody has an opinion just like everything... I personally just do a lift check to see when they need watering but I never let them get too dry. Every other watering I just use plain PH water so its like 3 to 4 feedings per week. The bigger they get... the more frequent they get nutes. Once a month I'll do a flush... or sometimes I go too months if they seem happy. It may be a little different in soil. Going to use soil for the first time in the spring. My first outdoor grow.:weed:

Right, whatever works for you! Wet/dry cycles are not good for growth, sounds like you're doing it right. Frequent watering also provides more o2 to the roots.

See I never knew that thanks... I hear a lot of people saying you need to let the medium get dry ...at least the top 2 inches... but in hydro nothing dries out. Coco in my mind is kind of like growing hydroponically so i never paid those tips much mind.
