5 gallon coco

How much should I be watering with a 5 gallon coco? I currently have one 5 gallon pot with like 30% perlite, and the other pot with zero perlite. I am doing a test to see if it truly makes a difference. I have been watering everyday with 1 gallon between the both and since I have been watering everyday, they have runoff. They're currently in veg right now.. But the past week they have been droopy, should I up the feed to 1 gallon and wait 1 hour after the lights kick on, then feed 6 hours later? Thanks.

i wouldn't know about feeding schedule but... what i do know about is that the perlite really does make a difference... It increases the oxygen content of the overall growing medium so much that the roots have a much easier time growing, and stay healthier.

In my experience coco by itself holds way too much water

Like air walker said your watering them too much and too often. Unless your plants are 3-4 feet tall. How big are they? Perlite does make a difference in coco mixes, I’ve tried every different ratio of coco/perlite you can think of.
