No worries bro i am going to dump it and buy canna coco and nutrients
Thanks for taking a look
You forgot the Epsom salts, 1 teaspoon per gallon
imo you're overthinking it, I've never once measured my runoff EC or pH and I love coco.
Just transplant your plant into the coco and water it really well with a nutrient solution around 1.2-1.4EC / 5.8pH, that'll 'flush' it and reset the coco to your nutrient solution's levels.
After that, water at least 2x per day until you get a small amount of runoff. Never ever ever let the coco get dry. If you see visibly dry coco at any time, you're not watering nearly enough.
I use the exact same nutrient solution for fresh clones all the way through early flower, and I never water with anything else. By the time I hit flower I'm watering up to 8 times per day.

Check your ec/ppm of your water source. Continue flushing your coco until the ec/ppm matches your water source ec/ppm. Due to the environment coconuts grow in (near the ocean) it becomes salty the closer it is grown to the ocean. I've taken totes and 55 gal drums and cut a hole to fit a hose snug then cut another hole that I put a filter on and just let it run for a while (next to floor drain obviously) when using salty bricks.
if you are hand watering water as often as you can once the plant is established. if you're automating during 12/12 i like to water about 4 or 5 times until runoff.

So do i water 2 times a day with EC1.2 ? I have a seedling in 1lt pot might try 1 more tim with that
multi feed when the root system can handle it

I left the Epsom out on purpose. H3ad dropped the Epsom after a few grows and found no difference.
IMO Epsom adds to much magnesium to the 6/9 fertilizer solution. I do like the added sulfur Epsom brings just not the mag that comes with it. Magnesium makes a growing medium more dense and calcium makes a growing medium more fluffy.
hows the seedling doing now ?

Indicas make dreams happen
How has the garden been lately?
You underestimate the significance of the decade when it's from the eyes of a beginner but you're right it's so easy that any seasoned gardener can grasp it within the course of the first grow. Well at least they should be able to if they have sufficient and necessary past experience.
I have never owned an EC or pH meter. Ever.
I'm going to say it again - You need to raise your feed to at least 1.2-1.4 EC, no matter how young your plants are. Anything less than that and you'll see problems.
