And second, you're still feeding too early! Wait till the cotyledons yellow/whither, that's when it's hungry. Anything other than water and myco's before that does more harm than good.

That would be good advice if the OP was growing in soil, but he's growing in coco.

Most of the coco problems are because the grower treats it like soil instead of drain to waste hydroponics.

That's how I do my coco, I'm honestly not sure why now that I think about it. They always get fed before the first true leafs start to fade, but I don't see what it would hurt if the medium was already moist with a light nutrient concentration.

In soil I don't feed until about a month or more. The cotyledons will still whither in a week or 2, but there's no deficiency it's just letting them go. I make my own mix of what I guess you could call a super soil when I do soil. But typically I'm in coco.
