seedlings dying in coco!

hey guys my seedlings are all wilting except for one i planted them only like 9 dys ago im not sure what the problem is. i been giving them straight water for the first few days havent run any nutes do you think this is the problem? let me know now im trying to save my girls! i will provide pics if nececesarry. there is no yellowing just wilting. i just bought a ph meter and it comes in today. i saw the plants drooping last night and got worried so i gave them there first feeding and when i woke up they were all wilting. i didnt ph the water so it might be locking them out of something even though they never had any nutirents. help me please!

Wilting as in the stems bending over? If so are the stems shriveling towards the base? Have you had them under a dome? Hopefully they're not damping off. Pictures would be a good idea to post.

Did you rinse your coco really well before using it? I don’t care if it claims you don’t have to. You either rinsed it or didn’t.

@hotrodharley, My vote also
The coco needs to been rinsed, needs a low EC. A healthy seedling that’s being starved would not wilt, lower leaves would first fade and growth would slow.
If it brick coco rehydrated it normally definitely needs rinsing, even bagged coco can be overly hot for seedlings

Definite damping off with this one. Keeping it too wet. Coco or not you don't want it that wet and don't have to water daily. Just mist with a sprayer in the early stages.

This is damping off. What I suspected when I asked those questions in my previous post that you didn't answer. Plant has no chance of survival. It's going to die. Don't even bother trying to save the top. Just start over.

I suggest you start in small solo cups next time.......maintaining the proper moisture level in those large pots will be a challenge.
A plant in coco cannot be over watered, with one exception........a tiny seedling in a large pot.
Did you cover those seedlings with some kind of dome?
xtsho asked you the same question in post #3.........you didn't answer.

Smaller pots next time and pot up as needed and your environment is everything. slow and steady wins this race you can't rush it. Good luck
