I think this is problem with coco buffer. Try to use more cal-mag and change your nutrient solution. Lower potassium, raise cal-mag. Problems with coco pH - always about wrong watering and wrong composition of the nutrient solution. p.s 5.8 pH its not bad for vegetation.

You are spot on. Coco range 5.5 to 6.5. You couldn't be any better. Your run off is smack bang in the sweat spot at 5.8 and 5.9
