Coco staying too wet / Plants not drinking

[flipflop64]

Hey guys this is my first post on this forum.

I have a few Cookies & Cream plants by exotic genetics that I cloned from my mother plant.
Once they were rooted, I put them in 70/30 coco/perlite mix. They seemed to do well until they got bigger. I recently checked the roots out and on some plants they were brown.
I got panic and transplanted them into 50/50 coco perlite because they were fully rooted out. Now they are in 1gal fabric pots with 50/50 coco perlite. I still watered everyday and now
the main rootball is brown and rotten but there are white roots coming out of it. I use southern ag and enzymes. Feeding ghe flora series. Ph 5.8.

Thats what the roots looked like before transplanting

It's pretty hard to overwater coco, in fact it grows best when constantly wet. Now that my friend, doesn't look like coco. I could be wrong but I think that's soil.

It is this coco: https://i.einvalid.com/images/g/wtAAAOSw3hZey72H/s-l500.png
Thats exactly what I thought. I think this is bad quality coco and I should have rinsed it. Is that possible?

Not sure. This is my first run in coco so I don't know a lot about it.

Can you tag someone? It says you are a supporter so you should support me

Are your pots raised up above drain trays? That looks like you've been letting them sit in their draining water after watering them. This would cause root problems and cause salt buildup at the bottom of the pot.

Yeah they are on a growtray. No standing in drainwater.

I highly doubt your watering enough. That browning looks like air pruning not rot.

These were being fed 10x a day at this point in flower in 1 gal pots. 250ml per feed.

Of they are stay wet that long you probably have another issue like low root temps.

My room is constant 25C or 77F
My coco is constantly wet, beeing fed one time a day. It stays wet until the next watering.

Have whole plant pics?
Are the plants directly on the floor and if so what the temp of the floor?

Can you take a pic of the top of the coco?

 

[flipflop64]

I can't take pics rn. Most of them look fine now (basically recovering). New growth looks nice and green. As I said there are new roots growing out of the dead ones. Can plants recover from root rot?

Top of the coco looks wet, basically all white now because of the perlite

Yes they can.

 

[flipflop64]

my fear is stem rot, the main root ball is still that muddy coco

 

[flipflop64]

Push

Coco doesn't get muddy.... I thought you said they are recovering?

Well by the look of it they are. I just fear that the old root rot spreads to the new ones

It's not root rot.... thats air pruning.
