the plant in the first photo I was watering a lot heavier than the other. The other I still wasn’t letting get as light as when I had those roots turn poor looking.
the plant I have been watering with the pot heavier has worse looking roots even though the plant itself looks fine.
Now the one I let get a bit lighter I’ve been watering and the roots are looking lovely and the plant is huge. It’s drinking daily and really I need to pot it up but just been tired from work.

I am gonna let the poorer roots looking plant get bit lighter in weight as clearly it’s worked for the plant now drinking daily. That girl I will stop being lazy it’s and pot up today/tonight into a 6litre.
You can feed your coco however you want, but it's not supposed to get light. Light pots means not wet coco.

I don't even use perlite and I fertigate every single day.

Any pics of the one that is huge? How old is it now?

I’ll grab some photos later, been in this one litre pot like two weeks now. I just been lazy with potting it up tbh. she is fine and her roots look good. She’s drinking daily. i ain’t letting the pot get bone dry, must have done it right as the plant and roots look way better than previous plants I messed up by letting get too light.

the one I been watering slightly earlier than the one looking good. That’s the one which doesn’t seem to have the best roots tbh Or as much size to it but course that could be due to it being a different strain. It’s roots look quite poor though and no chance it’s under watering, I been watering it even more often than the one going good.

It's very hard to "over water" pure coco coir or coco/perlite. Usually under watering will result in those thin roots mainly congregating at the bottom of the pot. In smaller containers like that with coco you need to irrigate more frequently or your roots will thin out and gather at the bottom of the container.
