true i water it every 3 to 4 days or when the soil in the bottom of the pot is dry. so i dont think im over watering.
so i guess it might be a mag def should i just get some ferts with mag in it??

PH should be around the mid 5's I believe with that medium. I'd foliar feed some cal-Mag. 6.4 ph and below locks roots from getting Ca or Mg.

im not a wizz but i think its nut-burn, its to early for it. it has enouf food already
It's not nute burn and that medium has no food in it, how are you stating it has enough already? He's never feed them. I'd say it's high time.

Foliar feeding is done by spraying the underside of leaves with a weak nute mix. It is a way of bypassing roots. For a cal mag deficiency, I would mix one quart of PH 7.0 water 1/2 tsp cal-mag, 1/4 cap of SuperThrive and for all around feeding, add 7 drops of Peters Plant Food 10-15-10. Mix up real well and use a plant sprayer that atomizes the spray, something like in the picture.



When you spray under the leaves, the nutrients are taken in by the leaves and the results are fast. You still want to resolve the PH issue that may be locking nutes out as you do this. I'm not a coco grower but I know the medium has a low PH. I think that PH will cause you issues. Maybe someone that has used it can educate us both.
