Curling claw leaves.

Growing in coco and Perlite. PH is between 6.0 and 6.3 with EC intake at 1.2 and output EC at .8.
Giving her plenty of nutes in each feeding.

I seriously doubt this is an overwatering issue as I am growing in coco and drainage is great. Only watering twice a day 1.5 cup each watering in 5 gal pot.

Any help would be appreciated

All other plants are doing great and she is the only one suffering so I dont think is the nutes im giving. I did notice a bit of tip burn after switching nute solution from Jacks Orchid Special 30-10-10 to megacrop a and b. I dont think its that either as I looked at previous pics and can see the curling happened before nute switching. The tip burn happened after switch so I think this is a diff problem

The only thing that sets this girl apart from the rest is I have 2 250lb 1x2 inch neodymium magnets underneath with South pole facing up buried at the bottom of the pot. But I doubt that is causing any issues but who knows.

Treat each plant as an individual, for example. I'm growing 5 of the same plants and have 3 different feeds mixed up due to each plant wanting different levels of nutes.

You're issue is No.1 on that list If i'm not mistaken.

When you say num 1 do you mean nitrogen issues? I'm not having too much yellowing its more the leaves curl thats concerning me. I camt find any documentation on nitrogen deficiency causing curling leaves. Thanks

The curly leafs is over watering, but that's not your problem. That plant needs nitrogen, and possibly calmag.

I give her Jacks Orchid Special 30-10-10 which has urea based nitrogen so I switched to megacrop and b which has a really good amount of nitrogen. It actually looked like tips were burnt after first application so I backed off a bit. The coco has been buffered in a cal mag solution and I was giving her 3ml a gallon of cal mag before the switch of nutes. The new megacrop nutes has plenty of cal mag in it so I didnt add any extra as I had already buffered coco

Total shite .
Listen to what the op is saying .
He has gave his plant an abundance of feed . The ec has been 1.2 , the plant carnt be much older than 4-5 weeks . You really want ya inflow ec round about .7 - .9 . 1.2 ec is mid flowering strength .

Them claw like leafs are classic sign over fed . Not over watered .
Although you can actually suffocate young roots by keeping the coco saturated .
That is debatable with some ppl though , that is through experience

What ratio A&B? Looks like maybe too much K, maybe need more part A and some epsom salts if the yellow in-between the veins persists. 1.2 EC might be too high too for now especially if you're feeding multiple times a day.

Just cut out all the shite . Use a simple a&b at equal measurements with a ec of .7-.9 and a ph of 5.8 when in veg . Cannot go wrong .
When in flower bang ya ph upto 6.2 .

Yea I agree thanks I already knew I was running high EC but I figured I'd try anyway as 1.2 is as low as I can get me EC using tap water after all nutes are put in. Guess for her ill cut nutes down a bit to get around .8 EC. I didnt cut down on nutes before because I was feeding her 1.2 and runoff was always around .8 so figured she was just eating the diff.

Its strange she doesn't look to unhealthy and all leaves are super strong and thick it looks almost like there is too much growth on the inside of the leaves and the outside cant catch up... I can even pop the leaves the other direction and make them stand up the other way... very strange.

Yea I think you may be right ima back off on EC for a while... gets up to 1.2 due to tap water starting out at almost .5. I use 3.5 grams of part a per gallon and 5 grams part b per gallon. Part b is the nitrate

If your tap water is already .5 might be best for you to use distilled or RO water .
