Let the soil dry out between watering. That dry cycle is just as important as the wet cycle? How long ago did you transplant?

soil is where you have to watch for overwatering. Never let coco go dry. I assume once you water more often and get that schedule under control, you'll see a fast improvement. and hey....we all make mistakes. only question is will you learn from it...

Yeah I kind of imagined no matter how much I read I was just going to have to make some mistakes and learn from them. The smaller leaves at the top that are still pretty green are curled down, is that from not receiving adequate water?

So I’ve been testing the coco with my finger and trying to do the whole “water when dry to the first knuckle” thing. Should I ignore this in coco and just water until runoff everyday?

Dirk, the best thing you can do is to go here..
www.cocoforcannabis.com
Read all of their information on how to grow in coco.
In coco you need to buffer it before planting unless it’s a prebuffered product. Also you need to water at least once daily and never let it dry. It is not soil, it’s designed for very frequent, low dose nutrient feedings. Currently I am watering twice daily to 20% runoff.
Never water with plain water, there should always be nutrients added and ph in the 5.8-6.2 range.
Growing in coco is more high maintenance than soil but allows you to give the plant exactly what it needs.
If you decide to continue using coco, seriously read everything on that site.

Happy growing!

Why would you go from 1/4 strength to 1/2 strength so fast. go slow mate. your soil mix already has nutes it...let them get flushed out first your jumping the gun
