Welp, this is common with new comers to coco.

The first two things to take note of when using coco are:
Coco coir has zero nutrients in it, it is completely inert.
Some brands of coco coir contain sea salt which needs to be rinsed out.

Are you fertilizing with anything?
All plants grown in coco coir must have fertilizer once the first set of true leaves appear. Synthetic nutrient are immediately available to the plant once they are applied to coco. If you are using organics fertilizers in coco, make sure you mix a microbial innoculant into the coco as well as fertilize the medium 14 days prior to planting into it. When using organics, the microbes must break down the organic matter into a form that the plant can take up, and that takes time. Hope this helps. :)

IMO your input needs to first be lots of pHed (6.0) distilled or RO water to rule out the possibility that your coco needs to be washed of salts (Not nutrient salts, natural salts that exist in some brands of coco coir). Then you need to feed, as coco coir is inert. You are currently watering with just water, and the first set of true leaves (the serrated ones) have appeared. So its time to feed. Lightly. Adjust incoming pH to yeild a runoff that is around 6.0.
