Welcome my friend.
Coco is hydroponic therefore needs watered every day with calmag and nutrients at a ph of 5.8 . If you have the feeding schedule for your nutrients you can go by that . But it would be beneficial to monitor your ppm daily of your feed so you can better understand what she needs. I check and log ppm every day , I'm in coco also.

It’s like I’m living on a different planet because just about everybody’s advice on this site I find I disagree with when it comes to growing cannabis.

I started out in Coco and I only watered about every two or three days also I do not to this day adjust pH because it’s unnecessary and I never water to the point I get any runoff because it causes such a mess. I switched from cocoa to Promix HP because it costs about one quarter as much and I see absolutely no difference in growth.

My theory is the less work I do on my plants the better and I find the vast majority of the advice on this site causes more unnecessary work for the grower. I know everyone will disagree with what I’m saying here but take a look at my plants before you negate my system. Most of what people do here is unnecessarily time-consuming and costly when it comes to growing.

Yea id say the same dont worrie too much on high numbers for feeding just use a little and if she gets hungry then up it abit or vice verse. Iv never growen pure coco yet, but im assuming salt build up is a thing too so watch out for things like that
Happy growing

With 70 percent coco and dry amendments you can water like soil, wait till it starts to dry out and water. If it start asking for more give it more.
I keep my ph between 5.5 and 6 in coco.
run off is up to you, needed more when feeding with nutes that can leave salts behind.

i grow in coco at lot different then you, but you’re welcome to check out my journal and ask any questions you need.

I would like to ask, coco coir & organic ferts how is the grow doing bud ?

I don't think under normal growing circumstances you would see that !

I'm pretty sure PPM & EC readings are in general related to nutrients in a liquid form manufactured with chemicals salts or what ever ya wanna call em, I'm not sure how they measure organic stuff or at least not seen the science behind em.... organic vs chemical (safe for human use)

I would also like to agree with Homur Simpson on the mass bollocks upon the subject at hand which sounds like a science... pick up a general gardening book & see what that say.
