Straight off the bat, you're feeding WAY too much... at 3 weeks, you should only be using 1-1/2 tsp of Canna A and 1-1/2 tsp Canna B per gallon of water!! NOT 8!!!! I haven't checked the other odd conglomerate of nutes you're giving her but where oh where did you get this mixture?! Canna is one of the best nute lines you can get - read their instructions and follow them! When you've got a few grows under your belt, have figured out what works and what doesn't, what needs improvement, then you can go start fiddling around with adding this or adding that... but right now, you are COOKING your plants and stressing them out. Here's my recommendation: FLUSH. You don't indicate what size pot you're using so I'm just going to explain this procedure assuming you're using a 3 gallon pot for each plant. Run NINE gallons of ph'd water through each pot (3x the water as the number of gallons of your pot). Into the last gallon, add .75 Canna A, .75 Canna B, .5 tsp Canna Rhizotonic and .5 tsp Cannazyme. Now let them dry out completely before giving them Ph'd water again. This is a link that will take you directly to detailed instructions about how to use Canna, in what amounts and when... you'll have to convert from milliliters to teaspoons but that's easily done by googling "volume conversion," setting the calculator and punching in the number of ml they're giving you here. And put that other nute stuff on a shelf somewhere for POSSIBLE use in the future. For growing in Coco, you are at the high end of the PH scale.. don't exceed 6.0 and don't fall below 5.5. So good luck - and I KNOW you can do this! I love your enthusiasm and your desire to grow great weed - but sometimes, less is better! :-D

Hello Braya19, The last few years I only used coco as a medium. I recently changed to soil because I want to grow 100% organic. I do have a diarie from my last grow on coco it might be helpfull to check it out. The beauty of coco as a medium is that you flush the medium every time that you give water. I used 500 ml for a 5 liter pot or 1 liter for a 10 liter pot every other day. (Only not the first 2 weeks because then they dont drink and need that much yet). I recommend you to use a EC and pH meter. Give water with a pH around 5.5 because when your plants eat the nutrition the pH in the remaining water goes up slightly. And EC should not exceed 2. Actually your plants don't need that much nutritions. You should see the nutritions the same way as vitamines for humans. Their real food is light and water and you add some nutritions to stay healthy. So for now give your medium a good flush... 20% of your pot volume should do the trick. With pH 5.5 and EC around 1. After flushing you can start giving EC around 1.2 and up this every week with 0.1 till you reached 1.8 this should be enough. And my guess is that you only need between 1-2 ml Canna A and the same amount for Canna B to reach these values. The Canna A and B are actually enough already. But if you want to give additional nutrients then just give less Canna A and B. If any questions you can always ask me. Enjoy your grow!

I would say your substrate ph is Out of line. Likely due to not enough run off, and salt build up causing problems.

I would say too hot on nutrients, but I'm only familiar with Canna A+B, I'm not a fan of using a mix of nutrients from different systems as there's no guarantee they work as well together as a designed system. If the PPM is Hannah scale and Total including your water value, its not bad, if its total not including addition of water value it's way too hot by around 25%. That's my understanding, I'm no expert. Good luck 👍
