Is she ok

I'm using Coco premium quality a+B

Instructions says add A 40ml+40ml B per 10 L water
Forget the recommended doses. Add enough A and B to your water so your ppm is around 500 - 600.
I'll ask again.......what is the ppm of your run off? That probably will answer a lot of questions.
 
1040 ppm : / ?
I suggest you run a weak nute solution through it until your run off is close to what you have going in. Then start feeding every day to substantial run off with a ppm around 600 and a pH around 6.0. I see you are using fabric pots........make sure you don't let them sit in the run off. They work best when elevated.......or better yet use plastic pots.........2-3 gallon is fine.

Are you saying half the dosage of nutes? Adding Less ?
 
Yes......adding less. I don't know if half dosage will put you where you want to be. Using trial and error......add enough nutes so your ppm is around 500.
I just added half dosage & got 714ppm which is not perfect but abit better thanks
Also is 500 to 600 in general ideal level for ppm?
 
Here are some tips you might find helpful for your next and future grows. I've been growing in coco for decades and this is how I do it. Not everyone will agree, but you'll find most coco growers do it this way......or close.

1. Don't grow autos until you are more experienced and can grow a plant from start to finish without issues. Autos have a pre-determined life and any setback will adversely affect your yield.
2. I start in solo cups using a 50/50 coco/perlite mix for aeration and fast growth. Start feeding daily to run off around day 3 or 4 from sprout. Transplant to a 2 or 3 gallon pot after 2 weeks.......when they're about this size. I use a 70/30 coco/perlite mix in the larger pots.

3. Add your nutrients to your water until your ppm is around 500.........then adjust your pH to around 6.0.
4. Feed at least once a day during veg and at least twice a day in flower........always to run off. (some growers feed multiple times a day)
5. Never use plain water and never, ever let the coco dry.

Hope this helps.

Well friend it certainly does help it's been a real learning experience for me today and I would like to just say thanks for the advice & nope not doing autos for a while like what you said practice with photos more control.
