Coco issues does this look like overwatering?

Hi all what the hell is going on? I had an automated pump running AN nutrients at 250 ml once a day until i started to see some signs of overwatering. I then removed the shields to get them some air and have watered them for the past week by hand every 2 3 days and it seems like theyre getting worse?!

Plants those size can't be overwatered in coco. You have some other issue going on.

250ml once a day isn’t much at all. Are you getting any run off at all?

Id check the EC of your run off , bets it’s super high and your plants are locked out.

I think youre right. What is the solution? Water until runoff and test it?

250ml isn't even close to enough feed for plants those size. Couldn't possibly be getting significant runoff with that amount.

You're feeding coco every 2-3 days, it's coco, not soil. Coco needs to be fed at least daily to runoff.

I am. Thank you. Think theyll bounce back?

Yes they will bounce back. I think you just need to increase how much fertilizer you're giving them. I wouldn't run silica with PH perfect. You aren't over watering. You want coco to have a little runoff every time you water and you want to water once it's moist not dry.

I would quit using automation just hand mix in a bucket per/feed chart and see what happens.

There is absolutely no need for you to stop automatic watering, why make things more difficult for yourself. Flush them each well with a nutrient solution and continue to feed them daily with run off and you’ll be good in a week or 2.

They will get worse before they get better, just have patience

I am feeding ph perfect advanced nutrient sensi coco a and b and b52 at 2ml per gallon. Would you recremend upping that or flush with my normal feeding. And how much flush we talking? Luke 25% runoff?

You need to up your base nutrients by 8 times and your supplements by 4 times.
