light feed, dunno about EC but I start always at 1ml canna A and B, and some rhyzotonic for root stimulation, this for first 5 days, then push to 1.5, then 2.0, slowly... just watch how they respond
and finished lots of crop at 2.0/L which is very less of what's indicated on the bottles....
in coco, for me, it's better to feed often light solution than sometimes a strong cocktail.. and with some genetics you can give often strong cocktails... you are the bar tender, you need to learn to know your peoples a little before knowing what they prefer

Most strains I feed at 1.4 from day one to week 6 of flower. 1 in 10 strains prefers 1.2 (amnesia) or 1.6 (chemdog)

3ml/l for.4 EC of Start
Veg 1.25 ml/l to 1.75 ml/l ( .6 EC to .9 EC) A/B
Flower 1.75 ml/l to 2.25 ml/l (.9 EC to 1.2 EC) A/B
1.5 ml/l PK 13/4 (.4 EC) and 1.5 ml/l A/B @ midflower for 6 days
Veg 1.25 ml/l to 1.75 ml/l ( .6 EC to .9 EC) A/B

Yeah, something like that has always done me fine. I bring in new stuff, and if it's an outlier, it won't stay around for long. Things need to perform for me, how I do things, or leave. I don't mono-crop. So they must all have typical requirements.
I changed food a couple of cycles back. Quite a different profile. More P Ca and Mg. I have to run a lower EC now. It's not fully ironed out, but 11-12 not 13-14 as in coco the P hangs around. It shouldn't but the lab report doesn't lie. It's the Nova. They do a specific coco feed to, with lower P. Like my old Ionic or Canna.
Ideally we need to know what feed you are using, before you find someone that's actually done it (in coco, if it's not specifically a coco feed)
This is more or less what I do as well. I figure that I could smack them harder for yield but I worry about what that does to the taste. So I run fairly mild like the above.

1250ppm/2.5EC from clone to flush. All strains. Under LED. No runoff.
In veg I think the lowest I can get away with before they look hungry is about 600ppm for cuttings (but that was under MH

Optimal EC/PPM for Veg is determined by the type media and method you are growing with. What type growing media are you in?

This is coco forum. I start at 300 PPM then to 600- 650 within a week or so. That is most my clone strain likes (GG4). That is one of the best things about clones. Once you figure out feed, it will never change, whereas seeds have phenotypes, and have to figure out each plant on its own.
I think OG strains are known for being heavy feeders.
