What coco and nutes are you using and watering habbits? I like to buffer coco before using even if prebuffered for ease of mind. The cation exchange capacity of coco will want a steady supply of calmg throughout its growth or it will suck it from your plant (so ive been told, im no botanist)I think I might have found the issue and it is nute related. I am growing in buffered coco coir. Coco coir doesn't have any nutes in it really especially if it has been washed, which removes anything in the coco including the main things in it being phosphate and potassium. Burrering on the other hand "unlocks" the phosphate and potassium that was already bonded to the coco from its natural environment. Well the nutes I purchased weren't for coco specifically and has a large about of potassium and phosphate. The coco I have is buffered, so if it had a decent amount of residual phosphate and potassium in it, I just added a crap ton more. I think I just overloaded her on potassium. Resulting in reduced and odd growth, and possible lockout of other nutes. I think calcium...

It's foxfarm 70 30perlite mix, I think cultivation nation is the specific one. On the nutes ive been using rqs easy grow and the micro blend. I'm going to switch to canna coco I think. Wouldn't mind hearing your specific nutes brands/regimenWhat coco and nutes are you using and watering habbits? I like to buffer coco before using even if prebuffered for ease of mind.

Ive been using General Hydroponics flora trio, along with some additional bottles, armorsi, diamond nectar and koolbloom in flower (using the coco for cannabis feed chart). Ive read a lot of people use canna a&b im sure you could find feed charts others have had success with.It's foxfarm 70 30perlite mix, I think cultivation nation is the specific one.

What size containers are you in? I start in 16oz nursery bags (keg cups size essentially) for the first 2 weeks. I do work my way up to the multiple feedings, for instance the nursery bags are maybes once every 36 hours for first couple days, once a day for a few and twice a day by end of 2 weeks. Plant into a 1gal from there and id do 1 a day watering for a week then 2 a day. Coco l, especially with a good ratio of perlite which your pic looks like, will hold enough air even when fully saturated with water. Tho, when roots arent established i let it dry a touchAnd I watered around 30/40mls at start and now do about .2 liters every 2/3 days
Could I use some auto wicking pots for that instead of the drip irrigation?Ive been using General Hydroponics flora trio, along with some additional bottles, armorsi, diamond nectar and koolbloom in flower (using the coco for cannabis feed chart).

Other than nutes, i would suggest treating coco like hydroponics more than soil. Drip to waste is the method i use for watering, multiple fertigation events a day, ranging depending on container size. 3gal i hand watered 2x a day, 2gal is 4x and 1gal 6x during lights on flowering. Always feed calmg, always water with nutes (near end of flower, ill let you decide yourself what to believe on flushing).
Here is the coco for cannabis feed chart, created my dr.mjcoco. i in no way created this info. I follow it mostly, i dont use h2o2 or water wetter and i add hydrogaurd when using a multi day resivoir.
