Looks like a lighting issue to me. Often to much light can look like a mag deficiency because of the bleaching in-between the veins.Hello folks, it's my first post in here!
This is my first grow using coco (did soil before), and I have had some deficiency issues which seem common for coco growing. This plant here is in week 3 of veg from seed (black cherry punch from in house genetics) and I've had a perpetual issue with what it seems to be magnesium deficiency.
The medium is Royal Gold Tupur (70% coco, 30% perlite I believe) and she is in a 5 gal cloth pot.
The last feed I gave it was:
RO Water starting~15ml
Canna Coco A+B 7ml/gal
Canna Rhyz ~5ml/gal
Canna Cannazym ~5ml/gal
CaliMagic ~5ml/gal (I just got the calimagic on Monday, so before then It was not being fed cal mag) before then, I was using my hard water ~200ppm without calmag added
The feed is about 800 ppm
Today I gave it ~1gal of this feed, and the run-off measured to 1400 ppm which, by a couple posts in this thread, seems to be quite high. I usually give it half a gallon of feed daily, which gives a little bit of run-off, but today I decided to increase the amount watered so I could measure the run-off.
The top of the plant is a little mangled because I kind of screwed up topping it. Decided to pull apart the tops so that they could try and get some equal lighting.
I wanted to ask other coco growers how their watering is set up, if they like having a lot of run-off, what I might consider changing, etc. Am I going around the right path of increasing the amount watered? Do you guys figure that I might want to consider flushing it soon? And possibly any other tips n tricks would be greatly appreciated, And maybe I even mis-diagnosed the issue completely. Either way any input is appreciated over here!

What height is the light at?Thanks aqua man!
I have dimmed the light to 75% for now (mars hydro fc-e3000) had it at 100%
Also another concern is the drooping top leaves - not too sure why that’s happening. Today she looks the same (a little growth) but here is a pic

Cut it to 50% and put UT at 30" until they recover... like 4-5 days they should handle it much better then and will help them recover faster.I had it at 24” previously
Now I moved it to 26” today and dimmed to 75%
NormalThanks for your inputs
It seems like she wilts during the night drastically until the second hour of light. She wilts around an hour before lights out as well. Seems like this could be normal and fine depending on the strain? But not sure
