Drip feed in coco

For the past few years for the most part, I've been running 7 gallon pots and been hand feeding my plants with runoff every time. During early flower this would come out to a feed every 3 days or so, and mid to late flower every other day. I want to eventually switch to a drip system, which would probably require a different type of feed schedule. I'm guessing you feed multiple times per day just to keep the coco moist, with I'm assuming no run off. This would probably require a once a week flush just so salt won't get built up.

Anyway, how are you guys running your drip feeds? What size pots? How many times feed per day and how long? Trying to get some ideas.

Thanks

Hydro or organic? For drip in coco, with hydro or hydro-organic, usually the drippers go on 1- 2,880 times per day for 12 hour lighting schedules. Regular feed is 1 time a day, multifeed is 2-12 times a day, and pulse-feed is more than 1 time per hour; up to 2,880 per 12 hours. I have been pioneering pulse-feeding for over 5 years now, my current setup feeds 144 times per day. I want to get back up into the 1,000s per day but it takes fine tuning and a even garden/canopy.

Ive used pulse-feed in 5" pot, 3gal, 5gal, and 10 gal, just got to dial it in. You do need a fancy timer though

Was running Coco and hand feeding like yourself. Micro grow and I was already finding that tiresome labour especially during flower. Went a different route with the new room/setup. Going organic and using blumats for a drip/hassle free feed system
