Coco should be watered with nutes every time, every day to 10% runnoff min 20 to 30% is suggested. Not useing a tds meter is prefered when you know your strain personaly and dialed in your scedule. Untill then having one can be an invaluable tool. How else can you tell your problem isnt a salt build up in the medium. With coco runnoff tds should be tested once a week if tds is higher than the tds of the feeding by more than 100 ppm than you need to flush with your full strength solution untill ppm are within 100. I think your problem is ph 6.3 is a bit high. 5.8 or 5.9 is ideal.

On page 2 there is a work up of the nute line i am using. This can be done with a tds meter and some math and the info on the bottles. With the work up now if i have a deficiency ot toxisity i know down to the mil what i need to add or take away without worring if when im adding say more calcium i am not also adding to much nitrogen ect or if taking away say nitrogen i am not also taking away oh say to much magnesium.

What the nute company says is only a guideline for general users. However, what is important is what's in their nute and not the label. Once you know how to use their content individually or in combination with other nute from other manufacturer then you would be able to dial in your own recipe. To understand mixing your own recipe....

1. Find a reliable source for the nutrient profile of the cannabis plant....usually they are in ppm.

2. Know how to use a nutrient calculator or know your tds meter

Once you know the nutrient profile and understand the individual macro and micro ppm, you can feed them however you want. You can feed them at low strength(just a little below the nutrient profile) daily with water for every 3-4 feeding, you can feed them at 100% of the profile and just water after that for a while or you can wait for a sign of deficiency and feed them with just that specific deficiency. The really good thing is you're no longer bind to a specific label/manufacturer, you can pretty much use any fertilizer at hand even miracle grow

I have a conundrum of fertilizers and I use all of them, no loyalty to a specific brand. Heck, I even use an orchid fertilizer

Makes all the sense in the world, I was thinking if people where feeding at Nute Company full strenghth every water, that would be really really heavy... I agree those are a guide at best and usually quite high.

Yes, that's why we have overfeeding issue because a lot of people just keep adding stuff to their plant without knowing what's in it already and when a problem shows up, its hard to diagnose what's causing the problem, either you're dealing with toxicity or lockout.
