you have a 10 liter plastic pot with drainage holes in the bottom and clay pebbles in the bottom ... so you probably have less than 8 liters of coco. that's not a lot of growing medium to retain moisture for the root system. Don't know the strain but you should consider getting a 12-15 liter air pruning pot of some kind and watering/feeding daily until you do.

I would put it in a 5 gallon fabric pot and mix your coco with 20% or so of Perlite. With proper mix and drainage you should not be able to over water them.

Here are a few pointers:
Feed (not plain water) your plant daily. Allowing a coco grown plant to dry out is no bueno.
Do not up size the pot...3 gallons in coco will grow a monster and allow you to feed, feed, feed...which is the benefit of this medium. You needn't change pot type either; plastic will work just fine.
If you have quality coco you don't need to use those clay pebbles or perlite...in the future I would leave it out.
I would shoot for a little more run off than what appears in your saucer and don't allow the plant to sit in it...if you can raise the plant off that saucer a little; even better.
Manage your pH...5.8 is your sweet spot
Good luck.

Probably not ... the runoff PH is usually higher than the input.

Read up at Coco college during your downtime.

Immature root systems in coco can be effed up by being excessively waterlogged. More common in big pots with small undeveloped roots.
Very mature.

Yeah mate as the guys have said there. Quarter strength nutes, 1ec/500ppm.
Ph5.7-6.3
Feed every day to full saturation and run off.
That's it mate. All there is to it.
Do that and you literally don't need to know anything else cos it can't go wrong.
For veg phase anyway.
If they get pretty big they'll go hungry eventually. They tell you by going yellow, you see it, up the dose a bit and all is well.
Takes a fair size plant to go hungry at that though. Cos you're feeding every day they don't need much at all.
Nute company just tell you to use loads so you buy more.
