Digger welcome and I want to put my 2 cents in for you maybe save you some time and money while im at it. You are doing good and want to share what I was taught when I startes working at Harvest moon hydroponics in 2011
You do not need to feed coco everytime you water thats bologna especially if you are growing autos they do not like a lot of food and it is a wierd shift compared to the transitio nal requirments of nutrition in autos compared to photos I will share a common newly established rule for feeding autos after my rant is done.
Stop using enzymes everytime first off... i seen a nother member wrote that enzymes killed his plant I believe it. You should only need to use enzymes when reconditioning media or starting new cubes for proogating or fresh media with nothing in it.
Its good to use once a month bc the roots are not gonna be dyeing everyday no need to keep trying to clean them.
Secondly, cut the watering... Keep the coco moist and I know bill says don't let it dry out but why dont you top dress and give a gentle water maybe with a microbial tea wake the rhizospere up. Stimulate the microbes and they will stimulate that plant. Its good to let a pot that larges get decent dryness to where its pliable and you can move iy loosely but its not cracking and shrinking bc thats where the root damage occurs... You can brush a little soil in the sides that show gaps when that happens... Also if you arent working your soil what are you doing.. I say soil bc thats what it is going to turn into pretty much.
Its almost beneficial to run silicic acid based silica if you can and push regular silica in later when its ready for more K levels the regular silica will also help raise PH.. Push that silica! Stronger more resistant plants with hardier trichome stalks thats what you want not crumbly brittle poof dusts.
Third, I second the notion to the common fact coco needs cal mag so keep that around.
4 you should try to get your temp a little lower bring in more fresh air.
Ppl will bash me on this but it is a myth that the fan is going to make your plants stronger... Its a myth I am encouraging a flush when your girl dries up free some of the out of balance elements and look into getting some plant sugars for her as well. I hope this helps. Ou should chrck out mr. Grow it he has a lot of great discussions and is stufent to professor Bruce Bugbee from Utah State university, 40yrs in plant science from engineering. Worked with NASA on growth chambers for intergallactic gardening.. I encourage you to watch his videos and subscribe to his channel so you dont miss any new content. Take notes and have fun.. I watch his same videos all the time and am constantly pulling new tid bits of advice I highly HIGHLY recommend.
