@TheUk420Show, Feeding every watering is way I go as well, I use plain water no ph adjusting with veg to save money on nutes and they generally look little worse for wear. They are also most times root bound which wouldn't be issue in coco if I hooked up automatic watering again. Id like to get automatic watering in the bloom room but getting root to coco ratio to that point will take longer than I'd like to wait. Putting the plants in bigger pots before the raised bed makes 30% of the roots stick out top of the raised beds coco. Though for efficiency a scrog with a sog plant count seems to do best. Canopy evenness, root spread , and to some degree pruning and training are easier. Out here in southern Virginia day temps outside are mid to low 80F (26-29c). Inside it stays 73F (22-23c) my mini split ac unit does good job cooling and keeping humidity in check. One main reasons I didn't run CO2 this run couldn't get temp up high enough to warranty it with out my humidity getting way too high. My nutes are in a 20 and 55 gallon (75L & 208L) containers that sit on concrete so they stay cool. In past with manageable size pots if I had salt build up or high EC I would set the pot in a tote and pour tap water through it and let it sit for hour or so. I'd Measure EC of the water left in tote and rinse and repeat till it's in range. Then the last flush I'd mix a batch nutes up and get it to a good ph . That way plant doesn't stress from the osmotic change of going to straight plain water over the long term. This probably is the top reason I love coco over "soil".
