Looks like calcium deficiency to me. Are you adding any calmag to your water? Secondly are you ph'ing your solution? Thirdly how often are you feeding?

I dont do coco but a week and a half is at the least a week to long. If you're watering more often and feeding that little you have serious deficiencies. If you haven't given water or nutes in a week and a half than your roots are drying out and deficient.

Add calmag.

My understanding is coco needs to be mixed to increase aeration or else you'll drown the roots but not 100 on this one.

Like I said I don't do coco but I'm growing a plant in a coco mix. Just trying to help. Take with a grain of salt but at least you could look in that direction.

I use 100% coco with no issues in terms of drainage or aeration. As noted, you don't want to let the coco dry out...this will burn your plants. If your nutrients don't contain Ca and Mg, you'll need to add it...coco likes to hold on to these two elements, so you need to add enough that your plant is also getting some of each. When you water, never water with 'empty' or plain water...always make sure you have some nutrients in the water / feed. Your plants look short on Ca. Ideally, you want to feed each day when using coco and if you can manage it, feeding multiple times per day is even better. Take advantage of the properties of your coco, that's the point. Good luck

Well you can clearly see the leaf stem or the "petiole" is purple. Usually an indicator of a mag deficiency issue, especially if the purple starts form right where the leaf attaches to the "petiole".

So when watering should I give them 1/4 nutes or go by the chart if I water everyday

I wouldn't water every day though. You want to give your roots a chance to dry out a little. I dont mean dry I just mean not soaking wet. I let my coco go completely dry between feeding which is every other day or third day depending on weather. Most posts I've read dont support this practice but I've had great success with my first and only coco girl.

This is her today root bound and doing fantastic. She has all triple fingers from revegging and flowering again all within a month.

I don't have any experience with your nutrients so I can't advise you on how much or how often to feed per se. I will tell you this: I use Jack's 321, I feed at the highest percentage I can, using my tap water, that allows the plants to grow at their maximum without ill effects. I will follow this regimen until they're finished. I found that feeding twice per day, every day, in 100% coco works quite well for me. The key is matching the plant to the pot and paying attention to the needs of the plant, not so much a chart or even what others say will or won't work. My plants tell me what they need. In my case, 1/4 or 25% feed mix is used for seedlings and newly propagated clones only, and the percentage gets bumped up from there as the plants mature and ask for more. The whole idea of coco is to be able to feed more often while supplying plenty of O2 in the process; take advantage of it.

Okay that answered my question. I just didn't want to give too much nutrients I didn't know that you cannot give Coco straight water my brother told me not to overdo it he told me to feed water water but he uses soil.
