This was grew in the soil and will be changing to coco.

Till what stage I keep giving water  
and  
When should I start feeding solution of balanced chemical NPK.

since coco have no nutrients so  
for cal mag and other micro I will be puting a thin layer of compost or cowdug on top

I want to to keep it small in same pot

Will increase the light but currently I am putting it out when it is sun and in as these are rainy days

I wouldn’t recommend this Grow Bro, this could affect the PH of 5.8-6.2 for the coco. The soil that seedling is in looks very wet and dense and could dampen off the tiny main stem. Seedlings require very little water and a lot of humidity. I would mist and place a clear dome over that plant and give a shot glass or 2 of water every 2-3 days after this soil dries 🤟

Coco needs to be fed a balanced NPK with a proper pH/ppm daily. Your compost most likely won’t break down the nutrients quick to feed the coco having to water frequently. Also as mentioned, mixing different soil types can have major hiccups. Different absorption rates, pH requirements, and other factors play a great part in your plants uptake.

Agreed, mixing media with different ph requirements is like mixing oil and water…… they don’t mix.
