I haven't seen a plant do this before. Keep the coco wet and don't allow it to dry. I've had many through the years that will start drying if I was unable to keep the coco wet like when I'd get stuck working and couldn't keep her wet and the heat would dry out the coco. Over a several day period the plant, starting with the bottom leaves would literally dry out as the plant uses up all it can BUT not like yours.

Flush the coco with Ph'ed water then start using nutes again and keep it wet. One good flush with a lot of runoff will rid the coco of most any salt build up.

When i was on auto watering I never had any issues other than rootbound plants if I didn't up pot. I don't know why she's acting like this. Crazy

Keep her wet. 10-20% runoff or more 3 x's a day. You don't have to measure it but the more the better.

I've seen others try to treat coco like soil and have many problems. Keep that coco from drying out

If water is an issue maybe soil would be best next time as you only need to water when the soil dries out and that takes a lot longer than with coco. It's a thought but soil has its own set of difficulties and why I switched.

Be assured none of us started up and had no problems. We all learned from each grow and the really good growers continue to learn. It never ends if you're willing to keep at it.

I'm really sorry i didn't see this sooner looks like it's been a week plus. Hang in there, water her well and keep her wet and she may recover. These plants can be hardy so who knows
