Feeding newly rooted clones with coconut water?

So I have 6 clones rooted in Q plugs. Then put in 4 inch starter pots with happy frog soil. They were cut from a plant put out in April, so it started flowering. The clones seem to be on track re-vegging in there 300 watt led nursery inside. Question is will feeding lightly with coconut water aid in quicker root development and health as opposed to only letting them do there thing with what FFHF will provide? Any insight would be appreciated.

So yes? It would be beneficial to use coconut water?
yes it's lightly beneficial but like anything else there is a right time and a wrong time, with seedlings/clones you dont really want to add a random amount of K & sodium by using coconut water. If you wanted to skip all that but keep the rooting hormone, aloe is your go to.

Its not really as important as getting some mycorrhizae on those roots and getting it in some proper organic soil and out of that Happy Frog...aloe is never bad

There really isn't enough of a nutritional value in coconut water for it to be a good enough source for food.

The real use for coconut water is within the cytokins that it contains. Cytokins will help your plant growth explode exponentially. You'll have way more nodes on your plant and the node spacing will be much tighter too.

I use coconut water every single week in veg. It won't do too much in flower.

Kratos015, I've been reading a lot of your posts lately and am grateful for the time you put into this forum.
How much coconut water do you use? Do you mix it with water or use it on its own?
I also read about your recommendation to use a little molasses. How much do you use and how often?

Thanks so much.
