Canna Coco Professional Plus advice

I have just re potted seedlings into 9 litre fabric bags but more like 8 litre as rolled sides down so soil could be level with top.
I just found out that CCPP says its basically coco coir and I was thinking it was soil. I had my seedlings in a propagator with a wicking mat so they were always moist. I was going to go with a feed with nutrients and then a feed without as this is the information I had read about soil and I may only have to water every other day.
If this is basically coco coir then this would be all wrong as I have seen people recommend feeding every day with coco.
I watered a litre per pot with nutrients yesterday, as they are still seedlings and don't want to over water plus I don't have my pot saucers yet. Soil obviously feels dryer today but not excessively.

My questions are:
Do I need to water again as I have given too little?
How often and how much should I water? Have seen 20% runoff being mentioned
Should I give nutrients with every water? or is it like soil where you would alternate with and without nutrients?

I water to about 5-10% run off. For seedlings every 2-4 days. I don't let my coco dry out. If the top of the coco is all light brown I've waited too long between watering. By the end of flower I'm watering twice a day. Nutrients with very watering.

I start in 1ltr air pots and I feed daily to run off.
Feed daily to run off......never plain water.

Thanks guys. Amazon is being cheeky as I ordered 3 saucers all together and 1 is coming today and the other 2 tomorrow.
Should I give another water now and then when my 1 saucer comes then water to runoff or would i be safe leaving it a few more hours? The litre per pot I gave them was around mid-day yesterday.
