No coco needs to stay moist. Feeding them daily will help improve their health not stunt them.

Feeding them every other day will probably work but you'll have better results feeding them daily to runoff.

oh well, this is my second time growing and i grew last year in soil, so i tried to stick to that same routine as much as possible. ill keep it in mind for next year as im sure ill grow again.
kinda bummed out cause i thought they were growing really well, since i saw growth every day. are they really that much smaller than they should? i was sure it was because of the fact theire pure indicas, and if i compare them to other grows online they seem to be doing pretty good

I feed plants outdoors in coco immediately after a rainstorm while the pot is still flooded. Daily. If nutes were free, I'd trickle feed them 24/7. lol

Here's the thing with coco, you can feed it every other or every few days if you want. It's a choice. But, if you do that, you may as well grow in soil because you lose the benefit of faster growth in coco. Fed daily gives the benefit of hydro growth rate.

Another problem with coco is that a lot of people say they're growing in coco and give advice when they shouldn't because their coco is mixed 1:1 with soil making it a soil grow, NOT a coco grow. A LOT of people do that.

hm yeh i probably got some shit advice then, it seemed pretty solid and logical to me as i swapped to coco just before this grow and didn't put that much time into research

Thous size estimates are for normal length veg time…. They continue to grow in size until week 3-4 into flower

Rule #1 with coco. Never let the top layer dry out. Rule number two, fertigate every single day.. and an unwritten rule is leave out most of the perlite for outdoor grows to help retain moisture in the heat, if anything swap it for vermiculite, especially when you're situation won't let you water daily. your Plants are looking decent, but as others are trying to kindly say, there is room for improvement. Some of the people that reply to your posts are worth researching on this site. There's many veterans here from west coast craft growers, to commercial growers that will give you their best advice, with only the intentions of seeing you evolve as a grower.

I'm sure glad I went to blumats with coco. Constant drip feed and no need to worry about runoff or watering multiple times a day.
