Every 2-4 days now, but I did water some recharge in a day after I watered. Maybe a small Dixie cup full.

cocoloco already has microbes. You don't need anything but water for at least a month? This is like my 5th time using it, haven't seen any burn yet. Maybe its your light.

It's not enough imo. If I was you I'd transplant to a one gallon pot and put 20% more perlite in it.

Its already worse than you think. That plant at 2.5 weeks should be bigger.

Use straight coco
Anything white will cause green algae
And who needs runoff? bottom feed
You’ll have no wet medium for bugs to lay eggs in. Take it from someone who’s grown in coco for over 10yrs. I’m not a know it all but I do know coco

And to answer your original question
Yes you are overwatering
Before you water ask yourself is my coco dry on top? Is the pot heavy? Both of those are determining factors. If your coco is dry on top and you dig the tips of your fingers in and it’s dry then yes water. Watering is determined by the size of the plant. Just one word of caution. Any wet medium is prone to bug larvae so feed from the bottom whenever you can. And if your that guy “I’ve never had bugs” then you’ve never grown marijuana

Thanks...and I considered str8 coco but decided the coco loco and then transplant in a mix with living soil. Bottom feed as well from the autop pot....just gotta get there and I appreciate the help because I am willing to change styles and mediums to suit my needs. I’m new to this but will be growing the rest of my life.

Freeze the bag of coco in a deep freezer first. Seems to kill anything that might be in the bag. Try to feed from the bottom and let the plant decide what they want to drink. Any wet medium on the top will only cause you problems. If you feed from the top your problems will only persist.
