Also, have you flushed the grow medium out? I would run a lot of water through it and let it sit for a few days before feeding lighter nutrients.

Do a flush first. Either with a salt removing solution like 'Sledgehammer' or just a lot of water. I had to do this recently with veg plants. After a couple days their growth started booming again. It happens, coco holds a lot of salts.

Coco plants act different than soil ones, they will choke off for the longest time before burning. Also, the plant will stay erect while the root dies from lack of water if you do not keep them moist. Its why I prefer a automatic bottom feed.

I have had some great results hand watering coco also. Just make sure they stay with fresh water/feed. After a few days, water it to flush out the old stagnant water. If you have to hand water, create a way to get rid of the runoff water so the plant isn't setting in it. Like elevating it above a bucket then dumping the bucket after the plant drains off.

I have made sure during all feedings that I get a good runoff, I'll give them a good flush with 5.8 ro water

I have the cloth pots on a grooved tray so they stay elevated off the water, then u use a wet vac and get the excess out of there,
As a Missouri patient we can have 6 plants, this is our last of the two plant grows, moving to a bigger tent!

Autos are notorious for being far more sensitive to overfeeding than photos. I would use lower nute levels, 50% of recommended dosage max. Except maybe the cal mag. Especially with RO water.
