Pt 1 is grow pt 2 is bloom. I might start feeding like I do with my FF TRIO

if your lazy i found it for you
when we water plants in coco, the water should always include nutrients. The technical term for this is fertigation, which simply means combining fertilizers with the irrigation water. Proper fertigation strategy is the key to getting the best results from your coco grow. In “Growing Cannabis in Coco with High Frequency Fertigation”, I lay out 5 key principles. In this guide, I explain how to put these principles into action.
Principle 1: Fertigation is a Balance: Proper fertigation strategy balances the Nutrient Element Ratio (NER), which controls plant nutrition and the Electrical Conductivity (EC), which controls osmosis.
Principle 2: Always Add Fertilizers to the Water: To maintain the balance between NER and EC, nutrients must be added to all irrigation water at the correct ratios and doses. The feed chart determines the ratio, and EC determines the dose. See our guide, "How to Mix Nutrients for Cannabis".
Principle 3: Keep the Coco Wet: Do not let your coco get dry! One of the key benefits to growing in coco is that it enables high frequency fertigation. This article discusses just how frequently it should be.
Principle 4: Run-off is Critical: Run-off carries away the excess salts and allows you to maintain a consistent root zone EC. Proper run-off practices are discussed below.
Principle 5: Manage Electrical Conductivity (EC): You need to monitor the EC of the nutrient solution you are adding (inflow) and the EC of the water that drains through and ends up in the saucer of each plant (run-off). As discussed in our tutorial “How to Manage Cannabis Fertigation by Measuring Run-off EC”, The critical number is the difference between the two. As explained below, fertigation frequency is one of the main ways that you maintain that difference in the acceptable range.
Coco Coir Watering Guide
This coco watering guide explains in detail how to put the principles of high frequency fertigation into action. It explains:
Many growers are concerned about watering because of their experience with soil. Happily, coco is not soil and it is a lot easier to know how and when to water in coco than in other media. There are a few basic rules for watering the plants and they can be mastered quickly.
Ensure Complete Saturation
Every time you water cannabis in coco, you should saturate the entire volume of the media. Remember that even at the seedling stage there is no real risk of over-watering. Properly conditioned coco retains adequate oxygen for the roots even when it is saturated.
Saturation is important to prevent salt build-up in the media which can burn your plant. The water that moves through the media and ends up as run-off is the mechanism that prevents salt build up. If the media is not saturated, then there is no water moving through it and salts accumulate.
Water Quantity is Determined by Run-off
The number one rule for watering coco is that you should always provide enough nutrient solution to each plant to produce 10-20% run-off. That means that if you add one quart of water then 10-20% of that quart should end up as run-off. Run-off water plays an important role in maintaining healthy conditions in the root zone. Therefore, you need to always get run-off no matter how much water you must add in order to accomplish that.

keep both part 1 and part 2 aswell as calmag, the plants shouldn't need to eat much but the buffet is open 24/7. principle 1 is balance , somewhere your NER got out of whack that's what you need to balance , otherwise the nutrient in your medium will lock itself out
