Thanks and you're welcome.
Here is some other info of what I personally use copy/pasted from another post of mine:
---------------------
Havn't talked about the nutes and stuff I've been using, so will go ahead and talk about them if incase any1 is interested in my growing method.
The plants are in plagron coco (it ain't bad but I'd use Canna if it was available) amended with 15% perlite. 6.5L Pots. The pots are watered via a jet irrigation system.
(pH is kept at 5.7-5.9)
(my base/tap ec post sediment+carbon filtering is 0.18, so soft water)
During veg, they got watered with Atami Bcuzz Coco A+B 0.5-1ml/L ( really concentrated stuff !), Canna Rhizotonic (for the first week only), Hesi SuperVit (1ml/65L !!!!! super concentrated), Atami Coco Booster (micro nutes, fulvic/humic acids etc. 0.5ml/L). EC from 0.6 gradually to 1.4-1.6 depending on plant needs. (Sour60 doesnt need much but other plants might need more !)
Now that they are in full flower(week 3+ of flowering), they get Atami Bcuzz Coco A+B (1-1.5ml/L) , Canna PK13/14, Atami Coco booster 0.25ml/L , Atami Ata XL 1ml/L (organic bloom stimulator with amino acids, vitamins, seaweed, etc.,) , Canadian Xpress HeadMasta 1ml/L (cannaboost-like product that is highly concentrated and cheap, and comes highly recommended)
As for EC, from week 3 of flower I start setting the base A+B mix at ec 1.4, then adding pk13/14 and the amendments till ec 1.6. I will steadily increase the pk13/14 till ec 1.8-1.9 which is the max that I am gonna go for on sour60.
You might think I'm using low EC but remember my base ec is ~0.2 instead of the average 0.4+ ppl get.
Looking at the total EC is misleading, you should always measure the before/after to know exactly how much of what you are putting in your water.
I never look at or follow bottle labels except for growth/bloom boosters and aminoacid/vitamin amendments.

I'm growing in coco m8 and my seedlings are 10 days old in 10 litre pots! I noticed in ur thread u say to treat the coco like soil the 1st couple of weeks so not to wet! I've only been feeding mine around 300ml every 2-3 days when the top goes dry! As the pots r as big with the small seedlings should I still be expecting to achieve 20% run off as this would probably take near 1litre of water/nutes every couple of days! Just don't want to end up drowning the little lady's!

I think it is almost impossible, or extremely difficult, for you to drown plants in coco. As long as you water is well oxygenated the coco medium should hold enough oxygen..
I think you are watering fine. Another way to tell when its time to water is to pickup the pot and see if its still heavy or not.
The reason you don't overwater coco at first is to stimulate the early root growth, not for the fear of drowning/root rot.
Once the system is well established the constant high levels of humidity will make the roots grow like they are in a hydro medium (and hence the plants).

I think you still need to wait a bit before you pick up the frequency of your waterings.
Like I said you need to see the roots shooting out like crazy out of your pot so you know the root system is well established. That might be at week 2-3 or might take up to week 4-5 depending on how well your grow in going.
Cheers.

No problem 
I made a small adjustment to the part that talks about how wet the medium should be in the first few weeks. Some people might have taken the "two weeks" thing too literally.
Also kinda epicly baked while writing this, so expect lots of edits in the past coming days

Hey guys, so its been a few weeks and im seeing bud, the plants were stunted for a while, probably because I wasnt able to pH properly, fixed that issue. EC is next on the list. I'm a first timer so not too fussed with not having everything dialled in, I'll improve grow by grow.
the first picture below is the only plant of its size I have, the second picture shows rusting aswell as a lightening of the fan leaves. I hit it with some Calcium & Magnesium, I feel like I should have been a little more generous with the dosage though.
I havent got a current pic but after a few days it seems to have regained some color, if anyone spots anything else off about it then let me know.
The second plant is tiny! getting frosty though and smells great.
Yield will be next to nothing but I'm still looking forward to them finishing.
