I'll have to read it tomorrow bed soon ;)Usually, soft water is loaded with salt and needs to be filtered. Is it because of a water softener?
Here is something to read about pH. This is a couple of years old but shows what I'm talking about. "Soil-less Mediums" need lower pH because they do not buffer anything.
Coco can be amended to buffer, but that's not the issue.
A water softener is a device that uses salt to change the 'hardness' of water.I'll have to read it tomorrow bed soon ;)
What's water softener is it a additive in my water?
Also guys probebely should if said sooner my leaves feel like paper dry but humidiy is correct ?
Honestly can you please take a look at what @Ph 007 posted. It is a report from another country. England if I am not mistaken and they are using terms differently. When they state soft water they are talking about low EC not a water softener.A water softener is a device that uses salt to change the 'hardness' of water.
If they are that dry then you do need to bring the humidity up. What is it now?

I am having a hard time understanding your point on this one. Which is as usually when you jack a thread!!!!
@Ph 007 be careful how you interprete the above document. It is a study on the PH of the substrate. It is not the same as the value of the PH of the water and food going into the substrate. Substrate is what the plant is actually growing in. In your case Coco.Usually, soft water is loaded with salt and needs to be filtered. Is it because of a water softener?

Led grow, temo is 80-82 humidity 60-70% strange uh it in range I think for the led tempsA water softener is a device that uses salt to change the 'hardness' of water.

Ye buddy I'm from UK near England I'm Welsh, im sheep shaggerHonestly can you please take a look at what @Ph 007 posted. It is a report from another country.

Ye nor me mate, I'm not sure how much to use i takes up to much e.c.I don't see any calcium in your water report unless i'm missing it? I'd stick with adding some calmag to your base feed.

Iv tried what canna says mate i get burnt tips thats what i mean they dont even know how to use their nutrients from all then i do it read off them them they don't mqke senseI'm not familiar with Canna's line of nutrients but took a quick look at their feed schedule. Their schedule is for RO water and they suggest ignoring your starting (tap) EC. Add .2 EC of your CalMag and then 1 EC of your base nutrients (A/B) for a total of 1.4 EC (this is including your tap EC). Let this sit for a bit and see where your pH is. Adjust your pH to 5.8 and again, let this sit for a few hours and see if the pH drifts any. I'm curious if the pH of your feed is stable. Once you have a stable pH, water your plants until the runoff is the same EC as your input, in this case it should be 1.4 EC.
Feed like this for a few days and see if your plants react well. It's really a process of elimination, Just make sure everything else is in check (lighting, temps, rh, etc..)
Next time you might want to consider smaller pots but that's entirely your choice. 20 liters of coco seems like a bit much.
Another unknown is how well your roots are established, especially in a container that big. As I mentioned, I know every says you can't over water coco and that's true for the most part BUT only if your roots are well established and healthy. In containers your size, dont be nervous to let them dry out for an extra day or so, just make sure sure water them well to keep any salt buildup in check.
If still been daily watering as they do drink it just slow and roots are sboe8ng out bottom of 1 pot, they looked a tad better today since a mini flush yesterday info on that above somewhere lol ^How things looking now they've been drying out a few days?
