OK, so I kicked off with 7 Jack Frost (8L pots) in a 2.4 x 1.2 x 2m tent with 2 x 600w vertical bare HPS bulbs.
Up until 6 weeks 12/12 the setup looked like this with the plants getting turned 90 degrees every day.......

When the 7 Jack Frost were @ 6 weeks 12/12 I put 3 Blue Grape trees in too so the setup now looks like this with the plants getting turned 90 degrees every day........
View attachment 3579705
So now there's 7 Jack Frost @ nearly 10 weeks and 3 Blue Grape @ nearly 4 weeks 12/12.
All plants getting pretty much the same amount of light at all times (except for the middle).
The coco used is recycled, the 150+ litre base stock is just over 2 years old (gets topped up every now and again as waste root balls take some that can't be shaken/sifted out).
What's been used gets dried out, hand sifted of roots and mixed back through with the rest after every run.

I hand water and make a custom feed regime up from the following products.
Canna Mono: Nitrogen
Canna Mono: Phosphorus
Canna Mono: Potassium
Canna Mono: Calcium
Canna Mono: Magnesium
Canna Mono: Trace Minerals
Epsom Salts: Magnesium Sulphate
Growth Technology Silica: Potassium Silicate 5% solution
Raw Salt, Lab Grade 99.999%: Potassium Sulphate (0-0-50)
Raw Salt, Lab Grade 99.999%: Mono-Potassium Phosphate (0-52-34) ....... Don't really use this these days.
Canna Cannazym: Enzyme solution
I should use 'Canna Mono: Iron' too to better fullfill the plants requirements but I've pissed about buying a bottle and haven't grown with it yet, though I should and will.
The feed regime for the Jack Frost at the moment is......
Nitrogen 30% solution @ 10ml
Phosphorus 30% solution @ 5ml
Potassium 30% solution @ 20ml (or substituted for Potassium Sulphate depending, but not used this time)
Calcium 15% solution @ 5-10ml
Magnesium 7% solution @ 20ml (or substituted for Magnesium Sulphate depending)
Trace Minerals (Unknown % solution) @ 10ml
Potassium Silicate 5% solution @ 10-20ml (every 3rd watering ish seperately, not mixed with rest of feed)
Canna Cannazym @ bottle prescribed doses all the way through when I have it (stuff gets expensive to use though and after dilution it works nothing like it's made out to).
(These amounts can be adjusted slightly according to plant needs)
.......the above amounts are per 30L (ish) of water giving an EC of about 0.7-0.8 and PH'd to 6.0, that's what they've needed most of the time through flower, heavier flowering weeks might need a bit more so then just 1ml is added to each of the nutrients (to keep the same ratio's) until the EC is 1.0.

I don't feed stronger than 1.0 EC and most times not even that.
At the moment coming up to 10 weeks 12/12 the Jack Frost have slowed down and are on 1L of water each a day, through heavy flowering weeks say 5,6,7,8 and 9 they were doing 2.5L of water each per day.
If they need less water (1-1.5L per day) then I'll just use a 12L bucket of water with the same regime accordingly.
Feeding is usually every 3-4 waterings depending on needs.
The Blue Grape are in 10L Airpots taking 3L of water every 4-5 days, completely different feed regime for them, very light at the moment, feed once a week or so.
In the loft are 13 more Jack Frost vegging up to go straight in with the Blue Grape after these come out.
The 13 in the loft tent are in 3.8L pots of coco under 600w MH on a veg regime ratio of nutes, taking 1L of water every 4-5 days or so but with shitty low PH at the moment so are getting flushed with water PH adjusted accordingly with weak nutes.
In the small cloner tent there's 6 Blue Grape in the bubbler in case one of the ones in flower turns out to be a keeper, 2 of each pheno.
