New to coco. Day 5 and 14 from clone. Help

I’ve currently been feeding daily with very small drybacks. Should I try and feed every other day to let the coco dry out more to promote root growth? Or continue to keep the coco very wet. TIA

Coco should always be wet never dry and always feed every time, so adjust your potency of feed accordingly based on plant size. Usually you'll cut back nutrients a little bit, just never slack on CalMag+.
Vary your PH between 5.8-6.2 leaning towards the high end during veg especially for more uptake of nitrogen in most fertilizers.

With Coco you basically are choosing a container size based on how often you want to have to water your plants, personally I'm watering in 10 gallon pots of 50/50 coco/perlite every day around 2 gallons of nutrient solution each plant. (I'm running co2, dehu, mini split, etc..)

My Bloom Grow Room Environment:
Co2: 1800 PPM ~ RH: 45% ~ 75-78 °F <- Lights On
Co2: 500 PPM ~ RH: 45% ~ 65-68 °F <- Lights Off

The plants I'm growing are around 6 feet tall and span around 4 feet wide each.

Procedures to Follow when Using Coco-based Mediums
  1. FLUSH the medium on a routine basis. Every 1-2 weeks is what we suggest.
  2. Check the “Run-Off” for proper pH level and (when Flushing) for a low ppm / EC value.
  3. pH the Medium to 6.0 pH to start with in Vegetative Stage. Drop down to 5.6 - 5.8 in Fruit / Flowering Stage.
  4. Do NOT over-water the medium. make sure that it at least goes from “Wet” to “Moist” if not all the way to “Barely Moist” before watering the medium again. In general, this should be about one time a day or even once every otherday in thevegetative phase and then one to two times daily in the Bloom phase depending on container size, and enviornmental (temp, humidity, and CO2 levels).
  5. We highly suggest using a digestive enzyme solution to help break down dead or dying root mass (such as Cannazyme).
  6. We also highly suggest using Beneficial Microbes in Coco. (Some suggestions: Mykos and Vermi - T. Alternatively you could use Great White and Heavy Roots.
