I think since I started with just plain water the PH was at 7 with 0.1 0.2 EC, I was thinking of so much other things that I forgot about the obvious.
So flush with light feed and calmag to 5.7 PH and 0.4 0.6 EC, does that sound about right?

Yes but I was under the assumption that PH didn't matter in coco (from reading about it) so I didn't PH the runoff,
and later when I saw discoloring and I did read the runoff I saw it was over 7PH lol
I'd flush with just ph water until the ph looks right. Then cal mag feed. I believe you are suppose to soak coco with cal mag prior to using it. Something about coco retaining cal mag so it is basically stealing it from the plant unless it's already full. If that makes sense.
You got me working now Jay, lol. Guess your never suppose 2 use just water in coco. Google is your friend!! Coco for cannabis I found and seems informative and up to date. There's prolly a room here at AFN but I haven't looked. Shit man the more I'm learning about coco the more I'm not liking it, lol.
The thing is if you look long enough you will find every possible way to be successful.
I see journals giving water for 1 week and the next page I see journals feeding 100% strength from the 1st day.
At this point the only valid information I can get is from someone here that does it on a regular.
I got 5 new seed in a paper towel, when they germinate I will flush the coco with low strength nutrients and 1ml calmag per gallon untill it reaches 0.4 / 0.6 EC and 5.7 PH
If someone think's this is wrong please tell me lmao
That sounds right to me anyways. Optimal growth is watering 2xs a day I guess. Makes sense 2 me tho. There is a forum here for Coco, I got side tracked. I've popped 5 Chocolope beans and they all die!!! Start out awesome but stall.......sorry. Back to your issue. How big of a pot are they in? How often are you watering? You have 2 remember what ever problems you are trying to fix the leaves or part of plant effected will always look like it does when sick. The goal is to correct it before it spreads. And trust me, it will spread! Can you snap a pic from today?
They look exactly the same as last pictures but more yellow lol. 2 are completely done for, only 1 of the 6 looks worth keeping.
They're in 11L pots and the coco was always saturated, but the run off PH started above 7 PH and that seemed very wrong,
but the I read on cocoforcannabis that run off PH did not matter so I didn't care till they started to color.
"Ignore Run-Off pH
Although it is critical to adjust the pH of the inflow, you should not be concerned with the pH of the run-off water. Your only concern with pH is always providing nutrient solution (inflow) that is in the appropriate range. Many growers make the bad decision to provide nutrient solution that is outside of the acceptable range in a misguided attempt to correct run-off pH values. This can destabilize the pH of the nutrient solution in the root zone and make nutrients unavailable. To avoid this common pitfall, simply ignore the pH of the run-off."
I guess that didn't work out for me.
