Well im growing some lsd and vanilla kush in 5 gallon smart pots. Its canna coco with 25% perlite. I water once a day with run off and use canna nutes with calcium/mag. Now they are growing slow and the leaves appear rough and wrinkled. My water is kept at 5.8 and I ph every watering. It looked like overwatering but isnt that why coco is great? you cant over water? what could be the problem. I let it go 48 hours once between watering and it dryed out making the plant look like shit. maybe over feeding?
growing in coco and nothing but problems

whats ur set up? lighting/# of plants?
I have coco coir and love the stuff. also in 5gl smart pots. pretty much every watering i use epsom salt. 1 tsp per gallon. i dont water everyday. i water 1 gl per 5gl pot. so 4 plants i mix up 4 gallons of water every 3 days . i actually feed 2x per week 2nd feeding is very light using fox farms nutes 6 weeks into flowering, no sign of nute burn. my plants do very well, infact i yielded 62gs off an autoflower in which first 2 weeks i underwaterd, and threw them into shock chaning from cfls to hps.
WIth my current gorw ill furshur be yielding at least 4oz off a delicious seeds cotton candy here in a few weeks. the plant is a monster.
check temps, humididty, air flow,
i would flush 7 gl of just water, then 3 gallons off water PHd at 5.8 with 5 tsp of epsom salt and 5 tsp of calmag mixed in for ur 3gl of water. wait 24 hrs then give em a feeding. wouldnt hurt

also take note some plants strive better under a higher phs in (hydro/coco) try reading up from a bunch of sources on google on your strain. i know my cotton candy i read likes to be fed more than an avg plant and likes to have the ph level raised to 5.9 6.0 in hydro setups. could be a crock, i never changed the ph but it gave me the idea about 2 a week feedings, i tried it for all my plants, and they have no problem with my current feeding scheldule. i keep a good eye on them for nute burn, and be ready to flush if i see any, like i sdaid, i have none.
i'm growing on a 4ft by 4ft round verticle table in a 4.5ft x 10ft room. I have tons on air flow and my closet has ducts for air conditioning. I have 2 600watt but only one is on since they are yound. Im using all canna coco line of nutrients. I think I am watering too often after reading your post.

You are definitely watering too much, add A LOT more perlite to the mix if you want to water daily.
