Select your nutrient range and water hardness and go. I use 2/3rds of recommended dose. (ish)

So I have a question on this chart, in the custom water setting I clicked on Hannah PPM, but what value do I enter in the water hardness ?
Here is a rundown on my tap water. I presume it would be the 125 but I just want to be correct about this . Thank you guys for your help .

i am about to start my first full coco grow with canna coco full line. I'm sure i will be back with more questions but for now, what are anyones thoughts on using mykos and azos? and do you feed with every watering?

I've had good luck with 1/2 the light feeding schedule + calmag.

is that 200pm of each? so would be total of 400ppm? and 800ppm in flower?

I'm sure this has been hammered on about in a bunch of replies over the last 130 pages. but i am running pure coco, i was thinking about mixing in some peat, Im running in dutch buckets with the bottom inch or 2 of the bucket filled with clay pebbles. what ratio has been found to do the best job, or would something other then peat do a better job. I have a bunch of coco on hand.

I run straight coco, tried other mixes, coco is the best!
How often do you guys flush your coco and how do you go about it? I have read all different types of responses on this and I'm not sure what to do. My grow has been AWESOME (thanks to the good info here!)since I switched to coco and I am just reaching the end of week 1 flower and the scrog is filllled out. Plants look extremely healthy and I am pretty pumped. I have been feeding daily and sometimes twice a day in 2 gal pots. I am going to get a chiller today so I can use the res in my room (under my table) and automate the feedings without worrying about res temp. I had a the smallest possible amount of tip burn when I was feeding around 650 ppm and have been mint since I went down to 600.
when I feed I get some runoff and probably could use a little more but I fill a 5 gal bucket to the brim and just put my pump right in the bucket to feed through drip stakes. I am at the point where they're drinking more so the 5 gal bucket isn't producing enough runoff for me to be comfortable and that's another reason I want to use the 40 gallon res in the room (and need the chiller to do so!).
What I have been doing as a "flush" every two weeks is instead of feeding 5 gallons I do 10 and the first 5 gallons are at around 200-250ppm followed by the normal 600ppm for the next 5 gallons. I'm concerned this isn't a good enough flush because I can see salt buildup on the pots and table. The plants are not showing any issues at all, not a single leaf, but I'm just being sure to cover my bases here. I guess the salt buildup on the pots are my concern. Please advise...

For what its worth I test my ppm and pH every time before feed (obviously) and I also check the runoff. What I am seeing is 5.8 pH in and around 6.1 pH out along with 600ppm in and around 650ppm out. I assume this telling me to back off a little more with the feed and do a good flush?

I would stay away from peat, I think chunky perlite would be your best bet, it's what I do.

Im sure this has been hit on a lot, but remind me so i don't have to search 130 pages for this info.
Can I reuse COCO? If so, how?
If I an I'd assume i need to clean out the roots and then wash it. Would I just use tap water? or is there some nutrient mix in need to make to do this?
I have a bunch of pots (like 36) filled with used coco. I would rather not throw it all out.

It is reusable..
Not sure what other guys do but I throw mine in a pot of boiling water just to sterilize and then let it dry out.

You can def reuse, I actually find it better second go around, if you ran a clean grow, a few roots left in won't hurt, only help with the leftover exudates and such.....

Sorry, did not see your question.
That is total ppm for both A&B. I run RO (<15 ppm), so I add one to two grams of Epsom and 1 to 2 ml of Cal/Magic, to get my base to around 120 ppm (0.24 EC) and start from there. I add 3 to 4 ml/gal of A&B which gives me a number of 320 +/-. I have increased that to 250 ppm in veg until I see any signs of over fert. Doing well now at around the 250 ppm point.
Less is more when it comes to growing cannabis, in my opinion anyway.
