Coco is hydro is a bag. So yes you should have run off every feeding. I grow in coco. The secret is in your ph and coco moisture. Coco is never suppose to get dry. Vegging ph 5.8 in and 5.8 ph run off out. Flowering 6.2, 6.3 in and same out. These are optimal ph range for nutrition absorption in the stages. You can not OVERWATER in coco. I grow in it a lot. You can dump 10 gallons through it right now and it would be fine, then again tomorrow, and still fine.. Just never leave them in run off. You should of set your ph in coco in beginning. That is basics from experience growing in it daily.

What a brilliant response from you all Thanks just a couple of questions, I dont have a PPM/TDS tool would this be essential in your opinion I have a PH meter and make sure im in the right ph range, I will increase there feed amount to 1ltr per 10ltr pot this week and will PH test the run of, I shall purchase a ppm tool if it is absolutely necessary, Also my nutrients - Before posting I have bought some ph up and down and a PPM meter - If a jobs worth doing.....

At that age, no. I wouldn't force too much water through them because of risk of over watering. It also depends on temperature and humidity levels (check VPD chart on Google). But once they reach double the size of what you got there and your ppm of nutrients are increasing, I strongly suggest especially in coco to water for run off and test the run off with your ppm/tds tool. A higher runoff figure will tell you your plants can't absorb what you're giving them, a lower run off than input will tell you they're hungry for more 🌱👍if the figures are close to equal then you're in the sweet spot.

@Stealthgrower22 It is best to water until runoff mate that way you know the plant has had adequate hydration aswell as flushing extra salts AND you can easily test the run off PH to see whether its within the desired range

Ab Woche 3-4 fange ich an pro 10l Behälter 1 L Wasser zu geben, der Rest soll ablaufen. wenn sie nach 12-16 Hr. nicht trocken sind, beim nächsten mal die hälfte nehmen. ich hoffe ich kann dir damit helfen.
