Overwatering coco isnt possible, but over concentrating fertilizers and chasing down a PH certainly could be reason for what you are seeing. The concept of "fertigation" is very flawed that you read about online, it creates a buildup of fertilizers/salts which will cause your PH to be all over the place throughout the areas of the root zone, and not to mention a waste of nutrients. @Roberts is 100% bang on for coco, like @Roberts said, maintaining that digital PH at 5.8 (or a yellow 6 to us that use chemical testers), is how I grew in coco pretty successfully too. @Roberts helped me grow a nice plant. In coco I kept the substrate irrigated the entire grow, but would alternate between nutrient feeding and just 6.0-6.5 (i use chemicals not digital PH meter) to allow for the nutrients to make it thorough my substrate and into runoff. Flowering was always PH 6.5 yellow/green on the tester, grew awesome flowers. Also, I noticed that the coco I bought had an incredibly high PH when I tested soaking water, so high my chemical tester turned purple... so higher than 8.0. It took me about 4 days of buffering my coco coir with PH 6 (yellow) water before my runoff PH was consistent. Good Luck!

Plants are dead, will upgrade pictures. Seems was not a root issue. When i cleaned the coco plus perlite plus clay, I saw a residue of clay, not washed well because I was making the mooving same time. Thanks everybody for your help and answers. ♥️

Is it possible that the nutrients are outdated and act more like poison ? Thank you all for your answers. @JoeyJoeGrowJoe in my first diary i was in soil but when i started to use those very same (not all of them) nutrients I start having troubles.

hey there Blabina, I have to agree with Roberts in general, but here for you the problem is overfeeding. this you can see from the burnt tips of the leafs of the plant. You should be around 0.8 EC at this stage, and gradually work your way up to 600ppm around week 4/5 . hope this helps ! 🚀

I think is over watered, she still has tiny roots and the coco look quite soggy.

You can not over water in coco. Unless you constantly run water through it 24/7. Your problem is ph related is my guess from my experiences growing in coco for some time. Ph in coco is likely too high. Needs to be a 5.8 ph going in 5.8 ph run off. Coco needs to be heavily irrigated. Who ever told you it was overwatering does not know how or that you are growing in coco. Good luck and happy growing. 5.8 vegging 6.3 flowering
