An that would be with air stone ????? Yes ??? Air stone creating air bubbles , creating oxygen, doh . No air stones in coco . Honestly, ya a well known member , who cares , Doyle,
No air stones in coco , keeping coco saturated without the full pot being rooted out CAN cause stunted growth and also suffocate roots which COULD also cause root rot ,

I agree that coco can be overwatered. I let mine fully dry back before every feed.

The symptoms the OP is having is 100% root issues from having wet feet imo.

I don't think it's nutrients, i think im either over water or underwatering them, i did think over but now people got me thinking underwatering?
Take the guessing out of the equation and measure the run off, I soak my plants twice a day I've never ever seen them or any other plant looking over watered in coco, it's a grandma's tale imo.

Here’s my last run, pure coco. 100% over watered, causing lockout and stunting. Set my room back 40 days because of it.

Popped them out of the pots and found very little roots at all. They finally bounced back after letting them dry out fully between feedings.

I never had that problem......maybe because I add 30% perlite to my coco.
These are roots after 2 weeks from sprout.......fed daily.

I think where the water schedule is different is plant to pot ratio.Most have to big of pot so watering is a bit more tricky .A large plant in a 2-3 gallon pot needs fertilization twice a day min with runoff.
Ive always had 50/50 perlte so that can make a difference to.
If you let your pot dry back then i think its important to water to runoff otherwise the synthetic nutes will build up and cause problems.
How many of you check ppm of your runoff?

Why do you not add perlite?It really makes things easier.
