Usually this is not an issue because with frequent watering coco produces a lot of humidity.
How frequently do you water/fertigate?
The EC guide I posted is for any media. Since you are in Coco just be sure to read the EC section of the Coco guide (Part 3 it is on page two of the journal). The EC section of the Coco guide has all that the EC article has, and is more specific to coco.

Hi there good morning. My EC pen is here! So I measured my plain water at EC 532 and ppm 266. After adding the nutes according to plant cycle and your guide ( flora grow,micro and bloom and cal mag,the others I didn't have) the EC measured at 1554 and ppm 777. So I added a lot more water but are there enough nutrients then?? Do I still worry about the ph as well? The outflow EC measured at 3280, isn't that awfully high?both of the plants are hybrids so not sure what to aim for.Humidity now around 25 so hopefully it will improve with more frequent waterings I had watered only once a day and with alternating nutes/plain phd water but am now watering once a day with nutes water - do you recommend twice a day? I can't get koolbloom here where I live is it worth to get an equivalent bloom boost high in PK? TIA

Don't need koolbloom... for a while at least. Lets focus on the issues at hand.
1 Starting water: EC is high. At the top end of acceptability. Cleaner water would be better
2 I suggest that you target at least 150 below the bottom of the suppliers rec dose because of low RH
3 Reduce the amount of base nutrients keeping the ratios the same
4 There will still be enough nutrition in the water
5 Be sure that you water with good run-off each time
6 With RH that low, YES increase watering frequency - you should get run-off when you apply 1 quart of water!!!
7 Probably need to flush to drop EC, there is a lot of salt build-up in your media

OK, It would really help to see a pic!
Now those EC numbers seem too low. What is your current stage of growth and what EC are you targeting? In Veg, with GH, 1400 is a good starting EC to adjust from.
Balance between inflow and run-off is good, and frequency is perfect. Can you describe their overall condition aside from the wilted leaves?

Hi there yes will post a pic tomorrow,plants in dark period at the moment
so since I had so much nutrient accumulation in the coco I had been feeding around EC1050, also a bit lower cause of my low humidity...but now I just measured my last outflow EC and it was 950, so lower than inflow. Will I just add more nutes then? I am in week two after the 12/12 switch, no sign of any buds or much happening at the moment!i am following your coco nutrient schedule now....thanks a mil

Just wondering about the last pic, is that early bud grow or just foliage?i am a newbie so have no clue)

Yeah, the light does look reallly close!

I believe that lolipopping is a great idea, but I do not agree with "bud-based defoliation". So I rec that you follow the lollipopping tutorial, and leave most of the canopy leaves in place.
I will trim a few canopy leaves if they are shading out a cola directly under them. But if you look at my grow, it is certainly a jungle in there!
