How frequently are you watering?

50/50 coco perlite is a really light mix!

You probably need to increase your EC to around 0.8EC. In your terms 800.

My best guess is they are standing way to wet. Seedlings don't like wet feet all the time and seeing they don't drink much at that stage it's easy to overwater. Had this problem before where where plants would stay small with the internodes being cropped up on each other like that. Was using soil myself but the same effect might be happening.

His plant in 50/50 coco perlite is at a stage where daily feeding would be fine.

No proper growth because EC is too low. :wall:
