Sounds like she's being overfed. Leaf tips are starting to curl which is a sign of N toxicity. Looks like some leaf tips are burnt too.

Over watering will give signs of toxicity’s. Let it dry out completely and feed accordingly. You have to let the pot get feather light before watering again. Over watering does not happen at once. It’s not letting the medium completely dry before watering again.

Ph seems a bit high for coco

Also if your using coco never water without some cal mag.

She is also not pulling enough nitro ( light green ) … i would at a minimum pull ph down to 5.9/6.0.
Ph feed appropriately going in. No need to check runoff. Besides your feed is out of whack at 1200 for a young veg plant.

@Diesel001, @Humboldtcalikidd is right, I didn't take into account this was a coco grow and not soil. Take that advice first.

So I do ph water 6.0 witch is 250ppm
Then after adding cal mag and growbig and big bloom ppm is 1100 to 1200
Should I water with no food

It looks like you have other plants growing along with her. Are they the same strain? Are they growing okay or are they showing similar issues?
Personally, I would let her dry out as others have suggested. Also, 1200 ppm at what looks like early development is excessive. I'd flush her on the next watering and don't feed her. Then reduce your PPM to around 500-700 for the next couple of feedings. I'm assuming that it's not an auto flower so I would stick with a strictly grow fertilizer and probably a low dose of Cal Mag. For what it's worth....good luck

Too high ppm and too high pH + small plant transplanted into larger container and probably keeping too wet. You don't need to water everyday until the roots have had a chance to get growing. If it stays too wet it slows down root development. I know some say to water daily until runoff but that's dependent on the size of the plant, the amount of roots, and other environmental factors that can have an effect on how quickly the coco dries out. A healthy plant in coco with a well established root system can have gallons of nutrient solution poured through it. A small plant doesn't always need daily watering even in coco.
Calmag is the most overused additives out there. Too much Ca and Mg can cause lockouts of other nutrients. It's definitely not a requirement when growing in coco. And in some instances can be detrimental.
Actually that's not always a good idea. It's going to depend on what you're feeding. If you're using something like Jacks which I do and use calcium nitrate you will not need any calmag. Also, if you're using tap water it could very well contain adequate amounts of Ca and Mg. I've grown in coco for years and have never used calmag because the nutrients I was using already provided all that was needed.
