If i make 2 feeds a day. 2L each feed and use a/b at 600 ppms. Then the same feed again 12hrs later, is that gonna screw up the ppms and over fertilize?

Should i be making 4L solution with my target ppms first then feed 2l of that 4l solution then feed the remaining yeah?

Its a real pain in the ass because i only have a 2l mixing jug

Everytime you fertigate coco you must do so to a 20% run-off by the end of the day. It does not matter how many times an addition to the pot is made to achieve this.

i don't understand the need to feed it twice unless its drying out my 15-litre pots last overnight with just over a 2litre feed daily with run off I only multi feed plants if there in coke bottles or solo cups I just feel you making more work for yourself

I never get run off from a one 2l feed per day in my 15l pots. It takes me at least 4-4.5L feed a day to achieve run off

in coco i really don't understand that on occasions I may put 3 litres and as you may have seen I grow loads of plants maybe your room or tent is way hotter than mine but are you splitting them feeds for some reason I'm just curious
 
On multi feed coco I never ran a plant that needed more than 500-600 ppm. The more often you are watering, the lower the PPM of each feed should be. Think of it like having alot of snacks throughout the day instead of one large meal.

Make sure your rootzone is strong and we'll established before you start multi feeding. Always drain to waste. And keep an eye on runoff PPM occasionally. Anything more than a 2 gallon container is counterproductive IME. Mix your nutes in a 5 gallon bucket.

I use to get run off with 3L when my plants were smaller but now some of them are like 4ft. I want to fertigate more often. According to cocoforcannabis or w.e the website is called, if your ppms are a good bit higher than what you are putting in

It goes up to around 28 degrees. Sometimes 30 tops. Around 24-28
 
Nice if they're that big they can handle it. What size containers? Bigger isn't better with multifeed coco. You probably wont able to do more than 2x daily if you're running 5 gallon or larger pots

15L fabric pots. I will most likely just stick with 4.5-5L one off feeds. It takes around that much to get 20% run off. I've been suffering leaf burns lately, and my ppms were in range. But two days ago i noticed they've raised by 300 ppms in the run off. My humidity can be around 55-60% because the plants are pretty big and stuck in a 2x4. My dehumidifier sucks major ass and doesn't even reduce the humidity by 1% yet the container fills with water. So im assuming the leaf issues are from salts in the pot and the humidity is drawing them up. My ph was in range too. This is why i was thinking of maybe feeding twice a day just to keep the ppms and ph at bay... with more regular feeds. I read about it on cocoforcannabis
 
A four foot plant in a hot space can easily use a gallon of water a day. I have had plants in DWC that big go through 2 gallons a day. It is a nightmare trying to control the RH when they drink like that but it must be done.

This is part of the stuff that you have to learn by doing in your environment that nobody can teach you. It is ok to fertigate coco as often as you need. I would not exceed 550 PPM of nutrients (not counting your starting water). I feed my rock wool 8 times a day with my drip system to 20% run-off by the end of the day.
