Is this normal?

it looks like the perlite in my coco is burning, is this bad?

Chances are that your coco still has some tannins in it that is staining the perlite.

Thank you, so should i be worried or does it just happen?

I don't grow in coco so I don't know much about it. The way I understand it is that coco has no nutrients at all so any plant nutrition has to come from supplements. I've read that coco needs to be washed thoroughly and buffered before using it as potting medium to remove sodium and potassium. Your plant doesn't seem to be suffering so my guess is everything is alright. I grow in compost soil and my perlite tends to absorb tannins and take on a brownish tinge.
