I'm a little confused on your main nute numbers. Other than the MOAB? everything seems pretty anemic in the P department. Just as an example...if you were using hardware store nutes, you'd use something like 30-15-15 for veg and 15-30-15 or 10-52-10 for flower. Of course DON'T use hardware store nutes with those numbers for your plants but that's kinda how they should add-up.
I'd think though that coco is inert, meaning no minerals or salts in it and a "neutral" ph? It shouldn't "add" any P...unless, as you already know, it causes the ph to move to a place where P is more available. I DID read somewhere the PH levels of the popular mediums. Can't remember where coco is though sorry.
As for you not getting much more bulk from those plants...you will get some...maybe significantly more. From my experience though, it's pretty hard to "lengthen" the flower cycle. As in...they do the stretch, then they pack on flowers, then they bloat, fatten and ripen. Hopefully yours still have some "pack on the flowers" time left in that part of the cycle before they start to ripen.
Some will say that you'll only need CalMag if you use RO water because there isnt any of either in it. Well my tap water has a LOT more than just cal and mag in it. Why do I not have to add Iron, Sulphur, copper, phosphates (lol) when using RO water?
I dunno...for me, if I use RO water and the ph is within range and I'm giving the correct ppms, I don't have any obvious deficiencies.
Anyway...I'm glad I was able to help a bit and sorry for all the long-windedness.
15-30-15 is way too much n for indoor flower. I'll go that high when I do my outdoor, but not inside.
This exactly how I feed, my grow is in my sig to see results.
I grow in Pro-Mix BX or Canadian Grow Mix, whichever is around, both are identical.
Veg: Miracle Gro Bustin Bloomz 15-30-15
Flower 1) First 2 Weeks: Tiger Bloom 2-8-4 tsp per gallon and FF Open Sesame 5-45-19 1/4 tsp per gallon 2) Week 3-6 keep Tiger Bloom, drop Open Sesame, replace with FF Beastie Bloomz 0-50-30 1/4 tsp per gallon. 3) Week 6 to harvest, keep Tiger Bloom, drop BB, add FF Cha Ching 9-50-10 1/4 tsp/gal. I feed with every watering, which is why I use 1/4 strength everything. Let me just add that I love this FF trio due to the trace elements. Use to be I'd have to add a bit of this and a bit of that to be sure all my trace elements were available, this trio handles all of that.
Keeping this schedule I very rarely have nute issues, and if I do it's because I screwed up my measuring or something.
They extracted the "juice" outta them with a "tiny" needle and analysed it. They started to lose thc right after the clear stage. Less thc when milky and even less thc when amber. Whether this is accurate or not, I still think that the more narcotic the buzz, the more "potent" it "seems".
As for what you should do with the oldest ones now...again...no clue on coco but...that stuff might have a TON of residual salts in it by now. I know you aren't a rookie. This is more for "new people" to the ummm...scene?.
The way I used to explain it to my "apprentices" or homeowners/babysitters was.:
All in all though...your plants do look healthy. I mean it could be a LOT worse. They just look like they have an over abundance of N. The only thing I hate about growing is that it's ALWAYS "next time". Next time I'll make SURE that doesn't happen, or ..next time I'll do this differently.....it's always something isn't it!
When things go perfectly it's kinda boring though. I like messing with my girls. When everything's going right I just stand in there and watch them. I'm back in there a half hour later still with nothing to do.
It IS easier to sleep at night though.
Summer should keep us all occupied with issues of heat, humidity, insects, fungi..blah blah blah... THOSE kind of festivities I can do without!!
