sorry... I don't understand coco or how to use it properly. Im sure that someone experienced in using the stuff will be much better able to answer your questions. Maybe its not magnesium... maybe bugs instead?

I have checked the medium and there are no crawlers. No flying fungus gnats . No evidence of any bugs.sorry... I don't understand coco or how to use it properly.

So you think the fact that the coco is staying wet too long and suffocating the roots from air is locking out the nutes or what? It's the only thing i can think of coz everything else is within rangeCoco with perlite would have been much better , less of a tight medium 70/30 coco perlite
Yes , I wouldn't water as much down the stem , i would do a ring around the plant about 3 inch out but let this dry a little first , i never watered every day until the plant was a lot bigger ,So you think the fact that the coco is staying wet too long and suffocating the roots from air is locking out the nutes or what?

So when the medium dries out I could expect the deficiency to disappear if I water further out from the stem once it dries up a fair bit . At the moment growth has just literally come to a stand still. Last two days has been just no changes except for the showing of bronze spottingYes , I wouldn't water as much down the stem , i would do a ring around the plant about 3 inch out but let this dry a little first , i never watered every day until the plant was a lot bigger ,
So it's most likely magnesium deficiency by the sounds of it as @Emilya also mentioned earlier.Also they are doing good for 9 days , your not too far off , these are good ,so far your doing great
Magnesium deficiencies can be caused by overwatering
Do the pots feel like there is a bit of weight from water . You just want the medium to dry a bit , takes a little getting used to , you get to know the weights ,
Yeah I'm going to have to give it atleast another 2 days after today before I feed again because I flushed the coco with ph 'd water yesterday and then refreshed the nutes after flushing because I have been feeding quarter strength nutes for 10days now with zero run off . Thought salts might have been building up n didn't want burn or lockout to occur . So the post are well wet from that so I will give it atleast a few more days before I water againIf you just look at the canna website , they even say let dry 50%

Yeah next time I am going to do a mix of hydroton clayballs also . Because I have about 70 Litres of them sitting in my shed but didn't think I needed it from all the crap I'd read around the place about now coco is just so fabulous for its air capacity even without mixing clay or perlite.Really is hard to over water in coco.I feel its the large pots you have that are giving you the problems.Its so much
easier to judge in small pots and get the run off i like when you have small ladies. Next time i would up pot at least once and never straight coco i use a 60/40 mix with clay pebbles or as said a 70/30 for my seddlings.Understand people say autos put right in finishing pots but i never have and never will much easier to build a nice healthy roots system in a smaller pot.To start her of right. I agree with Emilya in the deficiency and i also think your way of hurting them.They still look good its going to take a few days for things to get back on track dont think u watering right for a few days is going to get you results that fast give them 5 days.
