Everyone is diagnosing this plant and we haven't even seen a full plant pic , I see some other deficiency on the lower leaves and N deficiency starts on the lower growth, not the top.

Thanks so much for all the help @Wisher619 @EventHorizan @Midwestjay. This is why i love the farm. Ive been growing a few years now. I can grow some nice plants in soil. Hopefully i can do the same in coco. Im really excited to learn how its done.
I hate to tell you but your making another mistake right now.. You should never give the coco straight water.. Always have some nutes in it...
Its way to late for me to explain cation exchange tonight.
But you need to feed the as soon as possible with the gh 3 part,
and feed them EVERY day to a lil bit of runoff...
think of coco like a sponge.
Its got yesterdays nutes in it, so i use just enough feed to full saturate the sponge again, plus 15% more to wash the old out as I do it..
Does that make sense...
If you dont feed to run off the nutes in coco will build up and cause tox.

they look super ULTRA UNDERFED

super light green with purpling stems

also light stressed as well as probably heat stressed

keep the lights high and what is your ec/ppm
also using a 3 part your ratio should be 3:2:1
being
VEG- 3grow:2micro:1bloom
BLOOM- 3bloom:2micro:1veg

so back off the lights
fix you ppm/ec
never use fox farms in coco
if you starting water ec is that low use a Cal/mg suppliment say Botanicare Calmg+ @3ml per gal
could you give me some idea of ppm range. Maybe from start of veg through end of flower. If you dont mind. :)

Im curious how i can test the ph of my grow medium. Also curious as to wether its necessary. Should i be worried about ph fluctuation between feedings. Im willing and have the funds to purchase ph meters and ec meters.
U dont test the grow median in coco
this isnt soil..
I told you you got to forget everything you ever learned..
Go read about cation exchange in coco
Go read about growing in coco

If you dont your gonna take a chance on losing your plants.. You make new batch of nutes each time you feed, you ph and ec it then, then feed...

Sno said it started after moving the light two inches from the plant, if there's no fan blowing directly between the light and plant then I say it's heat stress making the droop but the plant looks to have more problems than what we are seeing in the pic.

there is a fan and adequite air movement. Im glad i only started out with one plant to fuck up with my first time in coco. This is all new to me.

I say S and MG deficiency, caused either by underfeeding or root damage from pests or letting the coco dry out?
Check the chart in my signature link, purple streaks and light colored tops.

No criticism! Just help for a fello brother in the struggle... U just caught me before bed and im a slightly old lad, so i need my zzzz's :) I got 30 mins but it would take us all night just to scratch the surface.. U will get it, everyone does, or most at least, it just takes a min, and you got to follow the principals of cation exchange.

Here's a formula with Gh that I'm starting to try, I've been mixing mine a little light to start because it's a lot more that I usually use. Check the multi colored chart about the middle of the page after you read the first part, it seems to be working so far, I'm almost at full bloom strength and my plants still look happy.

Yea @snoplow20. Stick with @EventHorizan and he'll have you all the way right. Dude picked up this growing shit and ran with it. He bumped his head with coco and had the most knowledgeable dude I know in here teach him. So bug the shit out of him. Make sure to keep his phone dinging all night. He loves that shit
