I'm DWC, so to answer your question I will refer you to a coco guru, and if you watch his coco video's I believe he gives his plants nutrient solution everyday...here is a link to his thread and video's, and ask questions and he'll answer.

Feeding every 2 days sounds like too much. Don't feed until the plant has 4 sets of leaves or more. If you water every 2 days you will be overwatering them. If a leaf and its stem is drooping then the plant is underwatered; if the leaf is drooping but its stem is not then the plant is overwatered. A healthy plant will have its leaves parallel with the ground or point upwards at a 45 degree angle from the ground. If you tell us what nutes you are using I can give you a better estimate on how much to feed

I've read that coco usually means you need to add more cal-mag than usual, have you been adding any yet? It's best/healthiest to give the plants a very tiny bit of nutes with each watering but if you're inexperienced then you run the risk of overfeeding. I found the numbers of your nutes: Coco A NPK Formula: 4-0-1 and Coco B NPK Formula: 0-4-2. Those 0's mean the A has no phosphorous and the B has no Nitrogen, probably not ideal. So how much of each do you use currently?
