Coco feeding schedule

Hey , big up everybody:!:
I’m growing in 4l(1.25 gal) and 8l(2.2gal) pots
70%Coco 30%perlite
1)As I read on many growing sites, coco must be watered at least every day. Top of my coco is wet the next day after feeding. 2 days after feeding top is looking dry, bag pots are heavy, so I feed them every other day 1-0-1-0-1-0 and so on. Every time I feed for 20% run off.
Humidity in my box is 60-65%. Temp 24-26C.
It is ok? Plants look very good and healthy, right now they are on 4th week of flower. Should I feed them more often?
2) Please, take a look at photos. Does is seems to be boy/hermi? 95% of plants have white stigmas, maybe 5% of them are brown. I look for boys in the room, find some plants that puts me in doubt.
All plants are clones from 6 same strain mothers.

Hey bro thx for reply bongsmilie
I’m looking for 3-4 gal pots in my next grow. Just can’t understand, how am I doing to feed them every day, as next day those small 1gal pot are still wet?)))
I think I’ll just continue to feed every other day, as they looks like (“ hey man, everything is fine, we love it”)
Every time I feed them with nutes with average of 800ppm (1.6ec).

They'll be fine with a watering every two days
For now
Especially the little one
Bump it up to once a day when shes bigger, it'll help regulate high ec runoff.
The longer you wait in between feedings in coco the higher your ec will be when you do water. (runoff ec)
I just cut one down last week (5gal cloth pot w/coco) no perlite.
Watered every other day up until the last few weeks when trying to lower my 2.0 ec. (last two weeks/ watered everyday going down 50 ppms each time until i hit around 450 and kept it there till cut.

How often you water in coco is your call tho.
I feel the more perlite you use.. will determine how often.
More perlite = more watering
Less perlite = less watering

Thx bro.what is your preferred humidity range? Mine now is 60-70% on flowering , and I want to lower it to 40-45% (I have a dehumidifier ). I read, that low humidity on mid-late flower provoke buds to produce more oil , and get heavier

(In my tent)
My flower humidity is usually 60-70%
I have good airflow being produced by an overhead fan and one below the canopy as well.
If I were to take just 1 plant out.. the humidity sits around 50%
From what I’ve noticed.. the plants love a nice 60% humidity level.
Mold has the ability to form but with solid airflow and keeping the environment clean, I’ve never had mold. (Knock on wood)

It’s all dependent on pot size and length of veg. Coco does better in smaller pots and being fed more frequently.

Are you supplementing CO2?

What lights are you running?

You can grow a tree in a 2.2 gallon pot when using coco........multiple feedings.
I use 9.2 liter pots (2.4 gal.) without issue.

If you are in Coco you should feed/water daily. If they still feel wet than it will take much less to get the runoff you want. It's your choice but there is a reason that you are supposed to do it daily. Just my 2 cents worth.

Thx to everybody
Here is my topic, where I explain everything about my grow (lights/strain/etc)
I make heavy defoliation few days ago (22-24.08 ;and when I say heavy- I mean really heavy! I rip practically all those fan leaves , frow beginning to top), after that , plants drink more rarely. I consider that they are stunned a bit by defoliation. I’ll see , what will happen till the end of next weekend , follow my report , if you like to know)))
I have 3.2 kw of cree 3590+ quantum boards of light , my minimum goal is 1g/w, but I think it will be better.
Thanks for your replies guys:dunce:

I found that somewhere between Week 2 and late Week 3 is when signs of hermies do occur. This is just my own findings but this piece of advice has saved me from some damage when I first started out.
Hope that helps.
