Did not know about the cal mag every feed. Is that due to the coco husk somehow OD?

if its the first time using coco, you may want to check ppm of run off, i have 2 kinds of coco right now and 1 has ppm very high for runoff which means i have to flush the medium to clear/clean the coco. your plant looks ok. 800pp seems high though no one else seems to be concerned so maybe its just my newb thinking.
my botanicare coco was compressed and definitly needed flushing.
cyto coco and it was clean clean clean, no unhealthy ppm levels during first flush.

That plant looks fine to me honestly. A little droop maybe but no big deal, I've had perfectly healthy plants droop a touch like that, leaves move around a lot.

And perlite isnt a terrible idea but not much you can do about that now. I'm growing in 100% coco without any added perlite right now and have no issue with drainage or overwatering. You just need to let it dryback a little before watering the first week or two until the plant is well rooted. Then it will be next to impossible to overwater.
Coco on it's own holds the perfect amount of air at around 90% saturation, it's really hard to actually overwater it.

800 ppm seems pretty aggressive at this point, especially if it's on the scale of ECx500.
What are your temps looking like in there?
