ZE Day 20 & HBSS Day 16

So I’ve come to the conclusion that my problems with these plants very very likely stem from pH levels and overwatering. I haven’t watered for 3 days now and don’t plan on watering until my Hanna pH Meter arrives on Tuesday. It turns out the pH Meter I have right now is a giant piece of shit that refuses to stay calibrated. The coco around both plants is still damn to the touch anyway.
Both plants are growing fine-ish. The ZE is somewhat growing out of the dark green marbling that the leaves were suffering from as well as the deformed leaves. And the HBSS is still growing a node every day or two despite the fact that I’d really like to see her leaves a much more lush green and less of a yellow tone.

Is that green algae? ZE looks a bit overwatered
okay THANK YOU! yes i think youre absolutely right -- shes overwatered. Everything ive seen online about coco says to water every day, so thats what i did but i honestly think thats WAY too much. I watered/fed today but im gonna hold off on feeding more until i can see the coco get lighter in color. Do you think the papery-ness of her leaves also has to do with overwatering?

Once their roots r established u can water every day sometimes twice a day depending.

I'm not sure because the plants I've grown have all acted differently, I think it depends on the strain mostly. If you let it dry a bit and it gets worse, you'll know it just needs water and you can just give it a good soak
 
got ittt. forgive this potentially obvious question...but...how can i tell when their roots are established?
Go to the mephisto subforum. A member @slowandeasy put together a great guide for starting seeds in coco. Tells u how much and when to water to get good root development. Everybody who follows his guidelines has great success. Environment is key too. Check it out you’ll have an incredible next crop.
 
You’ll know the roots r established when they start making big moves above ground and so long as tor temps and humidity r good they’ll start drinking more drying the pots out faster. They will explode if the first two weeks r done right. The next two r important also but these first two weeks really set the tone.
