how often should i feed/water my plants in coco?

how many gallons are you mixing at a time

do you have a scale that measure micro grams?

if you don't have a scale that measures micrograms let me know and we can figure out how to make a concentrate that will work... this would allow you to use a regular digital kitchen scale to weigh... if need be
 
base nute 1.5 grams per gallon
calmag 1.5 mls per gallon
bloom boost 1 gram per gallon
Epsom salt 1gram per gallon

to make a concentrate that will make 20 gallons total
take a 5 gallon bucket
fill it 4 gallons full

add
30 grams 18-18-18 base nute
30 mls calmag product
20 grams 3-11-36 bloom booster
20 grams Epsom salt

mix at a rate of 4:1

i could get one tho i mix in an one liter bottle
tho the calcium mix chart says 3ml in one liter of water
 
that mix looks pretty good and should work well for both veg and bloom (since your limited in your country)
the N is a little high for bloom but tll still work nicely

keep in mind that's full strength mix... for your seedlings youll want to use 1/4 full strength to start and not until they show yellow

your iron is low and I don't see a way to raise it without throwing out the rest
I suspect you might have some iron in your source water??? so it might be fine

ideally you have a lower amount of N in late bloom

but given your limited resources you've done pretty well... theres not really a way to adjust the mix by much if you lower the base nute to achieve lower N the iron gets too low, if you lower the calmag to reduce N the calcium drops out

having said that
theres no reason this mix wont provide good results for veg and bloom its balanced and got a good ratio of elements

but you gotta keep your ph in check

I hear peeps running coco at ph 5.5 but ive read conflicting info on coco ph
if I was in coco id be running my ph around 6.0 to 6.5

well that's all youll need to test it

but youll still need something to adjust it

that's why I keep asking what the source water ph is

if its higher then 6.5 and you need to lower it that's easy you just use sulfuric acid which you can purchase at an auto parts store... its the same thing as battery acid

if its low and it needs to be raised then we gotta figure out whats available to raise it and we gotta worry about whats in it and why its so low

i havent checked my water pH yet but i will check it with you as soon as i get my ph pen

don't forget

that's full strength

for your sprouts youll need to give them 1/4 strength so that's 1 cup solution to 1 gallon of water
(double check my math but I think that's correct)

is it safe to mix them all and add to water?or should i mix them separately since my cal mag is liquid and the nutes are powder nutes?
