5.8 is a good setting for veg 6.2 or 6.3 is good for flower. Your ph coming out is a little high. Try feeding at 5.5 ph run a little extra through each time and with coco you need to add a little cal/mag once or twice a week. 400 ppm 0.8 ec is a good starting point for babies. I increase 100 ppm 0.2 ec every week until 800 is reached and I usually stop there unless the plant are really asking for more. I grow soiless as well and I put all my feeds and runoffs down in my diary. So if you would like to follow this diary your more than welcome. The only thing different is I grow in 100% promix hp. Much cheaper than coco and no need to add cal/mg throughout my grow. Cheers

Thanks for the help all. Got a little calmag in the reservoir now, I'll lower the pH and try flush through on my next feed.

Hey there I grow in coco and can help. Yeah you need to run lower ph water through till you get a low run off then let it sit 15 minutes and add nutrition for current conditions. Always have cal mag in nutrition. I provide nutrition every other morning. Then I just add 5.8 ph water that evening and twice next day. Just enough on those 3 times to keep coco saturated no run off. It needs to maintain a 90 to 100 percent saturation. For first nutrition it should be between day 10 to 14 and super light. I use a few drops per liter on my first feed with 1ml to liter of calmag. My green crack diary was grown in coco, perlite, and growstone for better drainage but same thing. Feel free to hit me up in pm if you need more assistance. Glad to help👍

Servus Mate, I agree to gmslave. Just want to add that this would be a normal situation, having a higher pH at run-off... When your plant feeds properly, EC drops and pH rises. But it´s quite a big gap to 7,5.. Good luck further on! Servus👍
