You have some very in-depth questions that maybe different for every nute brand you buy but in general microbes live for up to two weeks. As for the speed at which nutes break down I’m not sure as it would depend on a lot of factors and exactly what you are asking for me to answer. So in my humble opinion you could cut back the microbe use to once a week with out having any adverse affects

1. There's a reason non soil media are called inert media (this includes coco), because they hold no beneficial microbe, it does not compost, so it can not support any microbiology. Microbes feed on organic matter, which is what soil is.
2. Yes you are supposed to do feed each watering, with the appropriate EC/PPM level according to your plant current age/development stage.
3. Always get 20% to 30% run off, this is in order to prevent salts from accumulating in the coco.
4. There are supposed to be organic nutes for coco. I dont really know how they work.

Curious if anyone else has experienced leaves like this on Durban’s. I know I’ve seen leaves like this when temps get cool outdoors but all flower sugar leaves are turning. Watered regularity and fed well in my opinion, so I’m not sure what else it could be. Thanks in advance!Week 10

Week 1 Day 5 picture-I'm concerned about the leaves praying to the sun gods and slight yellowing. What's happening here?
Is it due to low humidity and possibly light burn. Humidifier has been added to the tent and light distance increase to 20 inches as a precaution 😉Week 1

Necrotic Leaves caused by Calclium defficiencies. Should they be removed or should they be left on. I removed them from my plant. It appears to have been caused by a PH spike while I was away for 2 days. Plant seems to be recovering, but I removed the leaves yesterday. Thanks.Week 3
