CoCo First feed..

I've been watering my seedlings with just poland spring distilled water since germination.

I transplanted my plants about a week old to 3gallon airpots under a 600w 3x3 tent.

I picked up Canna Coco A + B, CANNA RHIZOTONIC, CANNAZYM, calmag.

Took a 1 gallon empty container and filled with tap water. left for room temp and added nutes:

Canna Coco A + B : 15ml

RHIZOTONIC : 15ml

CANNAZYM :9ml

Calmag :3ml

Then shook and watered the plants by hand, until a tiny run through at the bottom. the gallon was shared among the three 3gallon pots. Didn't want to over water.

Is this a good method to stick to every day in my veg. i'm waiting for my PH pen to hydrate for 24hrs before i can calibrate it.

Any thoughts would be helpful
Thank

So happens that the exact PH of that mix is 6.0.
My Pen is now working and calibrated.
My plants seem happy and haven't reacted badly to the feed.

really no need to use cal/mag, you have coco specific nutes. at this stage, you really don't need to feed every day. when you do feed, allow for a good 15% run-off. it'll keep you from getting built up nutes. (i like to add perlite, some don't.) i like to ph to 5.8.

Thanks for the knowledge.. i'll stop using cal/mag to my feeds. When should it be used again. is it like a band aid for burn etc...
5.8 ph..are you growing in coco?

i don't use canna, i use h&g. but if rob uses canna, and suggests it, i'd go with what he says. i start feeding daily, when i notice them drying up quickly/pots getting lighter. you don't really need to, but i like the results, and don't mind using the nutes if they can take it...

This is my first grow. I have 5 three day old seedlings in coco and general organics go box, and there are a few things ive yet to warp my head around yet. When do i start feeding and are certain nutes better. If i followers Feeding chart ppm would kill em, second question is after i transplant into 3gallon container. How much water do i use? Ive heard water until the excess start draining out but that seems too much. Any help appreciate. Thanks
