read the guides on cocoforcannabis.com for the basics of soilless growing methods. You need to adjust your perception and fix numerous behaviours. ---------------- Plant is clearly overfed. Nutes in your medium are far too highly concentrated. Give a few water-only with 10% runoff (maybe 20% for a bit). Let the plant start to pale back to normal before restarting fertigation. 5x a day is excessive. I think you get diminishing returns after 3x daily. You can google for information on this. But, to do that, you need a plant and pot size that jive together. You are using way too much medium (pot is too big for plant) and i doubt you are watering to runoff with any of the irrigations, so, it stays wet and nutrients buildup everytime you water -- overfed, sickly plant. The plant needs to be capable of drinking enough to warrant the multi-daily feedings. If not it's just stagnating, wasted water drowning roots. So, do not choose the volume of water to give. You use as much as required to accomplish the task -- full saturation.. you want 10% runoff to ensure there is no buildup of nutes. The goal is a consistent level of nutrients at a ratio that does not impede each other. It should not rise and fall much in this growing method. Like i said, the current size of plant and size of pot is not proper for multiple feedings per day, so stop trying to force a square peg through a round hole. coco isn't magic. Any medium constituted with the proper aeration and drainage qualities can be fed multiple times per day. coco is not the cause of that ability. Until the plant is large enough and when the plant is healthy again -- 1) fertigate with well-balanced formula with 10% runoff, minimum. 2) wait for appropriate dryback and repeat. In coco when that top layers starts to dry, it's a good time to re-irrigate. feel the weight for familiarity, too. if the plant can drink nearly 1/3rd of a saturated pot's weight multiple times per day, you can consider frequent daily fertigation. if you want an idea of a decent formula, look in any 1 of my 3 new diaries for a per-nutrient PPM breakdown. This is not 'my' formula. It's a formula used by numberous fertilizer brands - jacks, cropsalt, megacrop, masterblend, southern ag, et al.... if it adds up to more than 4-5 cents per gallon mixed, it's overpriced.

PS : Once your medium is completely dry, simply water it with 500 ml every 2 days.

and let the substrat get dry , remove the moos , then start feeding 2times a day with half of what you think (this size is max 150ml a day) she is drowning.

hey 👋 The first big problem is the constant moisture in your medium; you are watering too much. Quickly scrape off the top layer to remove the moss, and let it dry down to 4/5 cm. Then remember to use less fertilizer than that; it is too young for that. You can still save it, don't give up! 😉

to much - to early light down to 10-20 Watt - 20-30 Cm , than it gets warmer like 25.5 at 55%, then give her less not more - so she is not so wet anymore

that looks like more than one problem, to much water probably since there is already growing moss on the surface of the soil i never used coco, but 5times sounds a lot of food for the little plant
