Are you aware of the cation exchange capacity of Coco and how cocos exchange sites are filled with potassium and sodium?
This can lead to binding and locking out of calcium and magnesium.
This is why cal/mag works so well with coco.

You ever heard of pre buffered Coco and Coco specific nutrients ?

So I am currently at 650ppm for these two bigger ladies. If I feed less than 600 they start to get hungry which is nuts to me. 650ppm seem stupid high but they take it with no issues, I feed with lots of run off. I cannot seem to keep these plants in pots for more than 7-8 days without them being root bound. I just transplanted into 1.5g pots today, they will go into final pot of 3g smart pot when they get root bound in these in a week to to ten days from now. 5ml cal/mag 6ml grow big per 1 gallon of water brings me to just a hair below 650ppm with a very small ph adjust down. Man I am loving coco.

Spoke to a guy working in a grow. He filled me in on a few new bis of info during flower..
3 waterings a week in Coco.,
Water tea, nutes.
the tea, brew includes ground up fish bones, microbes twice, once while brew, second just before feed. I've done this every 2-3 weeks and have noticed a difference. They test run off to adjust as needed including a flood cleaning 2 times a month. They use flood and drain in 3 gallon pots.
Don't tell anyone.

Yep. Exactly. I'm in Coco soil mix, mostly Coco perlite. I do it every 4 days with good results. 3 in 12 days.
Sometimes I'll add an extra watering in there.

The runoff should be lower than what you put in that a sign the plant is using the nutrients. Idealy you would want the runoff to be much lower than what you put in. The amount that is missing from the runoff is what the plant is using.

If that plant is drinking water and not feeding nutrient then the EC can come in higher then original. Reading run off is vague at best. Best part about coco is----------> it is whatever you put in it.......just flood it with what you want in your medium and vacuum/dispose of run off.
