I've been watering to waste in coco for 3 years now, the last year using Maxibloom, and I've never ever had salt build up issues. Never. Never had a drip line clogged due to salt either, and I use the real thin micro tubing.
The only time I ever flush is for the last two weeks before harvest. Otherwise, they get fed everyday once they get roots.
Feed those plants and watch them blow up
Watering depends on the size of the container. Go by the weight. Pick it up when dry, and pick it up after watering. You will soon be able to tell when to water.
Normally, you are going to water every 1-3 days. That said, don't listen to some people here. Don't just go by the manufactures instructions. Get a PPM/PH meter.
Some of the biggest plants I have ever seen where fed nutrient solutions that never, ever went above 700ppm. Normally in the mid 600's. Some of the best coco growers I have ever seen only use GH 3 part Flora, CalMag and Koolbloom. Thats it. They don't overload their plants with Nutrients. If the plant needs something, it will tell you, and you can adjust. It's very easy, and very simple.
You can increase the growth with stuff like Superthrive and Orca, but it really isn't needed. Fully water your plant, and pick it up. Pick it up each day. When it feels half the weight it was when fully watered, then water again. Flush with pure RO water once a month. That really is all there is to it.
If you have a good environment for the plant, it's virtually impossible to screw up using Coco. The only real way is by not giving it calmag, or by over-feeding the shit out of your plants like 90 percent of all manufacturers suggest to make you go out and buy more product.
Use your brains people. This isn't a "who can get less runoff" contest. I run 30% to 40% on the regular. I guess that makes me a big baller...
I spend more at Taco Bell.
