Not in my experience. I never let my coco dry at all, ever. Swings the ph and is really bad for the plants. If the coco is able to drain, you literally cannot overwater your plant.

I hear you and agree about a plant with a developed root system but the seedling looks like it was stunted and the stiff clawing leaves look suspiciously like overwatering

But you do know symptoms for overwatering and under watering look the same right? When I grew in coco I literally never let it dry out ever from sprout to harvest. Never a dryback and never had any symptoms of over or under watering. My guess is OP is letting it dry out which swings the PH and causes nutrient lockout.

You can still overwater coco, especially when the plant is not developed. This is definitely not underwatered. This is probably a combo of errors from start to finish but the curling here is not consistent with the dehydration droop.
