Umm, hope you are not serious! Bad info to be spreading.
Water once a day in coco or your plants will die.
True for seedlings and freshly transplanted plants.. Pot size affects water/feeding frequency..I water in coco every 3rd day or every other day and have no deficiencies. The plant needs to have a established roots in the container before you even think about watering every day.
Stop everything you are doing and do a slurry test with that coco. Do not test your runoff and believe exactly what it says, especially with the plant in such poor shape. I can almost guarantee that the coco has way too much salt content and needs to be thoroughly rinsed before plsnting. Was this coco from a brick? And what brand? To do the slurry test take 2oz of coco and put it in a cup, then put 2oz of water in with the coco and stir it up real good and let it sit for 15 minutes. Stir it again and check ppm and ph. Come back with your results.
Excellent idea! But when you do your slurry test you should use r/o filtered water if you can.
No, they need calcium throughout the grow. That is not a Ca- and if you wait until you see one, you've waited too late.It just seems to be the first set of leaves the plant grew. Been doing a bit of research into coco and seems that you have to add calcium if the plants show the slightest of yellowing is that correct?

I see that you're getting a lot of conflicting advice here. I agree that the plant is hungry, coir does not provide much in the way of nutrients to a plant, so you have to step in. You should not allow the coir to dry out completely, it can and will cause problems. I agree with the slurry test, absolutely. Use water of 0EC and measure the pH before you do the test, you want to know the water parameters both before and after you test. 7-10 minutes is sufficient to get a good reading.
you need to use fox farm soil all you have to do is add water to it would help you out alot in veg growThis is a update it looks like it is getting worse the coco is dry I have fed every 2 days with a splash of ph water 5.8. Do you guys think I should start again.
