K.I.S.S. Floranova, Calimagic and Drip Clean. Works fine.

Google; "Floranova in coco". Plenty of info out there.

I've never used coco specific nutes, I don't even use cannabis specific nutes in coco. I use control release fertilizers, and only have to adjust the water ph and add 5ml/gal cal-mag. It doesn't get much easier.

As far as your RO water, I'm guessing your filters have failed, and if you have some sort of real nasty element in your water (which in your tap is below any level for concern) but with a failed filter it's being released back into your RO output at a much higher concentration. Until you get your filters changed I'd recommend just using your tap water.

Bingo...I started think that same thing (my r/o membrane is zapped and re-releasing shit back into the water).....

I did ppm the water at various stages: before membrane, after membrane, after the resin, et et...
what made things problematic was/is my tap is total crap....

I've since chg'd all the RO parts and using 0ppm water with H3ads formula and a tad of Epson salts + a lil foliar spray...
plants tenativley appear to be greening up a lil...we'll see

I use maxi bloom no issues at all all you need is maxi bloom.
I've mentioned here on RIU several times about a mutual grow with a friend using ONLY Maxibloom in a DWC...friggin plant is a monster!!!!
thing is he's doing some coco and we both were wondering if anything coco specific needs to be adjusted for (like extra Cal or mg or whatever)

oddly, Maxibloom does adjust his tap to around 5.7-5.8 exactly-ish
 
I've successfully been farming with GH Floranova Grow & Bloom with a dose of CalMag as needed - stunning results from the first time in coco has me hooked

Bro we are so freaking amp'd over the simplicity of coco....
Did you use the pre-pkg'd stuff like B'Cuzz or brick
d stuff?
did you pre-chrg? any nute issues with mg or Ca?

Im running 5ml/gal of calimagic, advanced nutrients 3 part PH perfect for veg, sensi bloom for bloom, i add in floralicious plus once they're in veg, and bloom i run bud igniter, then big bud, then overdrive. I use tap water, comes out at ~180ppm, mix, feed, Im running coco hempy buckets. haven't ph'd my water a single time this grow, not a single deficiency or problem. Except a slight mg, but that was because I used distilled water ONCE and forgot to add Calimagic.

Been using CNS17 bloom lately with decent results. I can't find the coco specific bottles in gallons, so I just bought the regular and add a bit of calmag every watering.

From what I gather, they are no longer making the "soil & coco" formula. Only one label/formula now.
I used the cns-17 for a bit. It's good stuff. I got plenty of buddies using the "regular" version in coco. They are still killing it with that stuff. 15 ml/gal max

I use Dyna Gro Nutes. Different stages and strains call for different mixes in my garden.

KLN Rooting concentrate (Aero cloner gets roots 3-5 days faster with KLN)
Protekt
Foliage Pro
Bloom
Mag-Pro (in flower only, epsom salt in veg)

with the addition of:

Grow More Seaweed extract (smells amazing)
Ful-power Humic Acid (Recomended by stoned drifter by the way)
Epsom salt (A must with RO water in coco in my location)
Epsoma Garden Lime 1 Table Spoon per gallon of coco every 3-4 weeks for calcium (Not of fan of liqued calmag)

The three main reason why I love Dyna-Gro

1. PH Stable for 2 weeks plus, Does not drift more that .01 in buckets waiting for feeds.

2. With their Protekt I have "PH Perfect" Mixes, So I have not used ph up or down in months.

3. Very potant and you get a lot of EC for a low price per gallon.

I just tried advanceds 2 part coco bloom and am halfway through flower. It is working great combined with kelp, humic acid, bennies, silica, and a few other treats from time to time. I think the base ratios are an improvement and I cant wait to see the spears come alive
