what nutes you using ?

If this is a coco run, feed from the start and every time. There is no water days in coco.
There is no food in coco except what you put it.

Soil you can wait 12 to 14 days.

I second @Arthur .

Coco is a form of Hydroponics and you water with nutrients every time you water. It is called fertigation when nutrients are mixed in the water. The idea behind coco is a substrate that you cannot over-water. It simply drains out the bottom pulling air into the roots. This allows you to fertigate several times a day presenting fresh in balance nutrients to the roots all day. Do not fertigate sooner than two hours after lights on or after two hours before lights out. During the night the roots will be exuding substances to feed the microbes so they will produce more nutrients the plant is look for. If you fertigate too soon after the lights come on the plant will not have a chance to take in the nutrients the microbes made before you wash them out. Then at night the plants do not like to go to bed with wet feet . Just because it is hydro does not mean it does not have a rhizosphere it does. Always fertigate to 15% run-off every day in coco. Don't let the pot sit in that drainage remove it to waste (feed your outdoor plants with it).

When you say from the start, do you mean after seedling first see light or after first real leaves?
I have only used water so far as the sprouted seed only went into the Coco yesterday but was going to use the Canna Start once they show their little faces in the next couple of days (well hopefully they will)

From the very beginning. The seed has small amount of nutrition, but not enough for more than a few days. Coco is inert, empty. Precharged is only pH and usually cal/mg. Coco you feed from the very start. Its a hydorponic type grow. Only food is what you put in.

Oh, oops. I need to make up a proper feed. Thank you. Been feeding ph'd water only
