Can you start a grow diary? I’m a coco grower. Could be a couple of things like pH, ppm, feed frequency, etc.

Also, what wattage is your Mars? Or better yet, model number?

I also see some algae growth on the top of your coco/perlite. That’s not a good sign in coco or any media really. Do you have proper drainage in those solo cups? A fan for air flow? The algae tells me the coco is staying wet for too long.

I will have to go pic some CalMag up. Do you happen to know, by chance, if it's the same as what human's take? I have some in my jump bag.

I have proper drainage now. Poked holes in the bottom, flushed out coco, took out half the wet, leaving root systems in place, no damage. Added half dry coco to cup, put plant back on top. Doubled up cup to catch drainage.

As far as Grow Diary, I just signed into this yesterday, so give me a bit to get my bearings. I appreciate your help!

calcium and magnesium is what it is,are body require it too,but i dont know how you could break it down for plant use,thing is in coco everything init is what you put in it,you are way over feeding your plants,like serapine said the green fungus on top,so throw a pic up of the plants in the cups were as to see whole plant.
might be able to uppot now get them into better mix

That's what I was thinking, about the re-potting. Yeah, I think I'll leave the human CalMag and the plant CalMag separate. New pictures incoming. I'll find where the Grow Diaries are and post them there. Will that work?

I recommended a liquid cal-mag supplement. general hydroponics Cali-magic is good. I currently use bloom city cal-mag.

I’d give that coco a good flush. Was this compressed brick coco or bagged, prehydrated coco?

Also, I highly recommend fabric pots. You can order a pack of 6 or 10 from amazon for less than $15.

And if you’re on a budget, you can wash and reuse the fabric pots a couple time.

I use one gallon fabric pots with great results but most people use the 3 gallon fabric pots for coco.

Okay. It’s the compressed brick coco that you only need to rinse (I used compressed coco, more cost efficient).
