Canna Get a Little Help, Please?

Hi guys, I wanted to try my hand at my first indoor grow. I've gone for the full Canna range. I have 5 gallon fabric pots, with Canna Coco Coir Professional Plus as the medium, Coco A&B nutrients, Canna: Boost Accelerator, Rhizotonic, Calmag Agent, Pk13/14 Bloom Booster, and Cannazym Liquid. I have Girl Scout Cookies and Lemon Zkittlez Auto Feminised seeds. Tried to make sense of the Canna Grow Chart but, call me stupid (many do), I just can't figure out the feeding schedule. Especially as I'm using both distilled and bottled spring water (I do not trust my tap water), and know that Calmag must be implemented. But there is no mention of how and when to introduce that along with the other nutes and liquids. PLEASE help. I just require a very rudimentary feeding schedule.

Thanks in advance for your assistance, and I look forward to hopefully hear from you soon. I wait with bated breath.

Wow you are asking for a book lol. Start by getting General Hydroponic pH test drops. Test all water sources you are using! Tap is usually mineral rich and typically tests high around 8+, but is very stable. Drinking and distilled test neutral and fluctuate wildly with the addition of nutrients.
For seedlings and clones you want a very light bit of nutrient like quarter strength at a couple sets of leaves to Zero nutrient when just germinating. After 4 sets of leaves you will bump it up to half strength, and at the peak of flowering you will be at near full strength nutrients. There is no perfect recipe for blending your nutrients because that is largely strain specific. However making sure the pH of your water and soil are of the highest priority. For neutral medium like Coco coir, your Water’s pH dictates your success completely! Tap will typically raise pH and balance out your nutrients. Apple cider vinegar will lower pH while adding micros. If you resort to pH up to dial in your nutrient solution do it slowly drop by drop! Too blend your nutrients correctly use less not more!! Most nutrients call for the max application. If you divide this maximum application, (example.. two teaspoons per gallon), but you have 4 other nutrients to add, make sure to divide that two teaspoons between your multiple nutrients as Not to go over the two teaspoons max application, thus keeping your salt levels in check. If leaf tips are burning up you are too close to the light or over fertilizing! Always blend your nutrients and always add CalMag in every feeding! Try to leech out your pots every third feeding or so with neutral distilled H2O. Give roots a ton of space, root bound is the main premature killer of cannabis next to overwatering and over fertilizing, and will mimic nutrient deficiencies by locking up the flow of nutrients.
Hope all this helps and remember that less is best, pH is paramount!!

Thanks a lot Shoanxi, that is all a MASSIVE help. A book or short story would have definitely sufficed! lol
Seriously appreciate the concise and prompt feedback, pal. Will heed every word. I have a Ph reader, EC/TDS reader, Ph up&down, and pretty much everything else needed (I think/hope?) So I'm good to rock n roll.

Cheers bud.
