Hey guys I'm few weeks into veg planning on 2 more weeks then flip 12-12 I'm currently running 2L every other day into my 15L pots of coco!! Girls are nice and green but the run off ec is high. I've been advised I should be using 5-6L everyday?? This is a big contradiction from what I've been told before can any1 help me out or pass on some much needed knowledge!!! Cheers

S2,
Coco varies in water holding characteristics. If it's fairly coarse or with perlite in it...then water fairly frequently. And water to perhaps 20% runoff. Keep your nutrients at a reasonable level so you don't burn them.

Water should be tapwater below 250ppm or RO water with Calmag added.

The confusing thing about coco is that it can be run as a hydro medium or as a dirt replacement. But since it has no nutrients...I prefer treating it as hydro media.

Coco nutrients are best. Questions?

...realized you were mostly interested in feeding. Many people feed with every watering and keep levels fairly low. But it seems like many noobs end up with nute burn doing that. Including a water only in the regimen allows for little miniflushes.

What nutes are you using?
