Plants look ok. Don’t worry about your runoff ph too much. I would spray with cal mag.
high ppm runoff, Given how your plants look, just shows how dirty your Coco was. Just get 20% runoff with every water.

Nope to low IMO. I think you will benefit more from the tenp than a change in light source.

Coco loco should not be watered like pure coco

This is correct. Disregard my posts. I should have looked at the media before assuming by the name that it was pure coco. It is organically amended and likely won't need nutrients for some time

Because its organic you will not want to water to runoff and should be treated more like soil with likely a touch more frequent watering because of better drainage.

Important for me to to take responsibility for my posts and own when I'm wrong so OP...

Sorry for the confusion and bad advice.

First run in coco loco moved from soil so I was letting them dry out between waterings and assuming since your not supposed to do this i have a serious salt buildup and flushed them out with low ppm nutes in the 300 range been feeding them 600 and they are 40 days old about fyi... Anyways runoff is coming out around 3500 😭 I flush and I flush but its still creepin.. Been watering every day now and not letting them get close to dry and now i have newer growth getting all twisted and kinda burnt, kinda at a dead end with this I hear your supposed to use ro water to flush but I just use city water and aerate it over night it's around 30ppm so figured that would be fine, what's the deal here should i try flushing again with plain water or plain water with Cal mag ?

Nute lockout due to overwatering.

No worries man i didn't realize it was amended so maybe the reason for my high ppm runoff waw a mix of that and hitting them pretty hard in the beginning with like 600 ppm feedings plus I didnt have any elevators at the time so the pots were sitting in some runoff that I couldnt manage to suck out got elevators for them all now but im guessing they were just sucking up all them runoff salts

i would personally drill some holes around the plastic buckets. This will allow better air flow throw the potting mix. also, if you can raise the pots so that air from bottom holes can penetrate or the excessive water to leak out.
