Looks like some root rot, and looks like bugs also, check under your leaves.

Thanks , Though so, if leave them dry out will they be good, or should I bin them, I find in soil leave then dry right out usually fixe it not sure with coco?

If you can't over coco why am I getting root rot,

You can over water it, if the root system is not established which it is not.

Agreed--- let coco dry a bit when your starting new clones or transplanting.
Once established with roots you can feed/water coco however you like.(and I've seen many different cycles work).

Any idea what to do ? Can I get rid of he root rot ate are the now now good?

Water quality is a factor too as the rot is caused by introducing a fungal pathogen like pythium or phytopthora in addition to keeping the media saturated when the plants are young. What is your water source?
As for how to treat, you could either attempt to go sterile with H2O2 or use something like hydroguard to inoculate it with bacteria that will eat the fungus causing the rot.

I see your using plastic pots, not a good choice in my experience, roots seem to sweat and stay quiet wet. If using fabric pots it will have more air for the roots and allow correct drainage.

 

[Dirtbag]

One treatment of H2O2 wont do it, and honestly it's not the best solution since the rot is already there. It's better for preventing it. Since the roots cant be rinsed or cleaned off easily hydroguard would be the better option I think. But you're in for a battle.

And again those bug spots are equally concerning and should be addressed.

I do use fabric pits aswell, I pot them into 20 litre fabric pots once rooted these ,
Maybe u will get small fabric pots soon

Im thunking of scrapping them, or even potting them into soil and flower in soil?
Will the soil then kill.it off?

I can pot into bigger fabric pots. But if its not going to kill the Roy just by drying I don't fancy battling root Rot in flowe

Yes probably, I would transplant into fabric pots and let them dry out , just to give them a chance . What is your medium mix , I do 65 coca 30 perlite and 5 vermiculite .
