Coco can be over watered?!?!might be just a hair over watered
To be honest I looked at the solo cup plants and the soil. The soil looks to be really dark. Like it has a lot of water content. That with the puffy leaves and the new growth looking slightly deformed looks to be over watered. But now the other side, you are going to find people that water with coco like up to 5 times a day. If you are in a 70/30 mix of coco to perlite I have had problems with over watering. If you are over watering it is slight. When I have had plants in 70/30 over watered I picked up the pot and it was heavy. Plants in Coco the pot should have little weight before watering.Coco can be over watered?!?!
No they don't claw all the timeDo they claw all the time?
Short answer, vpd.

I'm with @Madbud overwatering is lack of o2 and should not be a thing in coco. But directly tied to it is the flow of nutrients and transpiration rates.
What the temp and humidity?
Time of day can also play a role.

I'm not a coco grower but I'm gonna say 2-3x a day at 600-700 ppm and water to saturate the entire pot and get 20% runoff. If you ask me your way underwatering and that's likely why they look over fed. Try to get the humidity up to 60% If you can.Should I be using less water when I water? I use a sprayer and once the top layer is wet I usually stop. I only do run off for feeding.
Did you recently lst or trim? Did you pack the coco in the pots/cups? I water my coco 3 times a day. They just look a little sad, they’re beautiful though!
All feeds at at 6-700ppm right now. That's why it's drain to waste... It's wasteful but very effective and has amazing growth.I did not pack the smart pots. I use 20% vermiculite, 40% perlite and the rest canna coco. I did just LST but that was a few days ago and they were fine. I feed after I LST'd and used a b12 folair spray.
When you water three times do you I ise full strength nutes or PH'd water?
Yeah bro, that plant in coco, should be getting fed every watering. I feed mine until a little runoff twice per day
Don't hesitate. Feed 800 ppm 3x a day. You will be amazed at the difference.View attachment 986981

She is starting to dry out so I will feed again with 1/2 strength notes and some super thrive
