Put it over a clean tray and feed.The looser parts of the coco on top do dry but I'd say most of the top layer is still fairly moist. I'm struggling to measure PPM accurately, I have no way of collecting the water before it hits the tray underneath which has salt buildup, I just stuck the ppm meter in the runoff water in the tray and some parts of the tray were 600ppm, and others were 2000+, so i need to figure out how to do this, I'll upload a photo.

The top should never dry. I would feed em at about 700-800ppm 2 times a day but probably need a flush and feed to get things sorted
This looks like a seed..

Im gonna say its highly highly likely the ppm is very highHere's a pic of under the net, I'm thinking maybe if I just water again, then measure the run off quickly the salts in the tray will not have had a chance to be absorbed into the liquid?

Not odd, that's a typical seedpod, sorry for your bad luck!Thats what I was thinking too, just odd that is surrounded by trichs, also hasn't changed in shape, size, color or appearance in the past 3 days since I first noticed it, really praying it is sterile. I need to remove it ASAP.

Can try sticky yel pads and mosquito dunks to get rid of the bugs.
If you flush you want to use cal mag at about 150ppm. Run 3 times the volume of the pot through the media so 15 gal each. Then mix up nutrients at 700ppm and run 5 gal of that for each pot through. That will help bring the media CEC and PPM back in balance and not leave them starving.
Just look on the bright side... Its a lot of work but you will fix the issueHeading to the hydro shop now for more CalMag and a big container for the water, will report back in 2 - 3 hours after I've done the flush and everything.
It happens don't beat yourself up it's all about learning, and you can harvest those seeds and perhaps they will growI'm having an emotional breakdown over here hahaha, everything was going so well till this week and now I feel like its all falling apart.

You should be using 1 litre of nutrient solution to get 100-200ml of runoff if your not getting runoff from that then your not watering often enough
Water them with a litre each. If they get 100-200ml of runoff you good if not increase the number of time you water them.It usually takes me more than that, around 2 - 3 litres to get a bit of runoff. I just finished flushing them, I couldn't give them as much water as you said but they got 32 litres of CalMag water each + 8 litres of nute mix @ 750ppm after that. Lots of runoff was coming out so I feel like they were flushed pretty good. Do you recommend I just keep feeding the 750ppm mix twice a day?
Will keep updating this if things get bettter or worse. Hoping to see some explosive growth on the buds these next couple weeks too.

800ish is about where ya wanna be ppm wise.
If it stays wet you should never need to. The top should never dryAlso how do you guys loosen up the top of the coco without damaging the root system? I have what is basically a giant fork made for this but whenever I try to loosen it up I feel like I'm either not accomplishing anything or I'm just digging into the roots that are close to the surface.
