Thanx kindlyThe only time I used just cococoir I was basically growing hydroponically using General Hydroponics Flora Trio which is a salt based and requires about 15% runoff. The style I was doing required more time than I was willing to give although the results are better in my opinion. The use the cal-mag due to useing my LED growlight and low calcium in my tap well water (no chlorine in my water since it is well water). I use the epsom salt also because my well water is low in magnesium and sulphur. I can give you my soil recipe by you dont appear to need it based on the last picture.
I grow 4 plants at a time in 5 gallon fabric pots
7 gallons ProMix
3 gallons and 12 cups Ocean Forest
3 gallons Happy Frog
5 gallons EWC
1 gallon and 4 cups Perlite
(Figure 14 gallons when adding Gaia Green Nutes) 14 * 3 = 42
Add Wollastonite for silica ( 1 gram per liter in non soil)
Add Epsom Salt for sulphur (1 teaspoon per gallon of soil) I added 2.5 tbs per pot)
I mixed each 5 gallon fabric pot to itself instead of all together
For Autoflowers the nutrients I am going with about 70/30 mix of 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 at just under 3 tbs per gallon which will be 7.35 tbs 4-4-4 and 3.15 tbs 2-8-4.
In the center of the 5 gallon fabric pot, I solo shaped area (2 cups worth) consisting of 3 parts ProMix HP and 1 part worm castings to put germinated seeds into.
