Fox Farm Nute Schedule in coco?

Just wanted to check on what may be the best feed schedule using coco/perlite and Fox Farm trio. The directions say 2-3tsps per gallon of water, and to use every other feeding.
Growing in coco/perlite I'm feeding twice a day, should I use the nutes for one feed and plain water for the other, or use nutes for both but half strength?

Did you amend the coco with perlite and other ingredients yourself or did you also buy the fox farm pre-amended soil?

Using this, guessing its pre-amended-first time grow and learning as I go here

Feeding Schedule is mostly personal... you can feed your plants daily using lower dosages... I would suggest feeding at half a dosage as the yrecomend ( they usually make you use more) and see how your girls react.... if the need more feeding just increase the dosage, i personally dont feed daily... I grow organically using compost teas and top dressing the soil with organic amendments, feeding every week with compost teas and every other week top dressing

I had a look at the coco core you sent me and unfortunately it's not nutrient amended. Perlite is used for air pockets in the soil but does not have any nutrients in it... it allows the roots to grow more easily. I would suggest amending the soil before transplanting your girls into their final pot

No plain water. Not familiar with ff nutes. Half is probably ok. Someone knows.

Here's a good coco primer....
