Hey everyone Im having my first go at using a drip system, heres a few details of set up etc

medium:canna cocoa,2 inches of hydraton in bottom of pot

nutes: vedge:ionic cocoa feed with all hesi additives,canadian express bio balancer and keep it clean by dutch pro (same stuff as drip clean)

nutes: flower: same as above replacing ionic grow feed with hesi cocoa bloom

set up: dr240w, 8 plants 20 litre pots,outake fan filter 8inch with 6inch air intake + 3 x clip on fans for circulation.

I have two drippers for each pot giving exactly 1 litre to each pot every 15 mins. I am now feeding once for 15 mins ,a litre for each plant when lights on and will increase as plant grows ect up to four times a day.

Now my question is as I am only giving a litre there is no run off at the moment and I dont want to give 1 huge feed or i would just go back to hand watering. Will maybe 1 flush feed say every 10 days or so be enough to ward off salt build up?? Or should the keep it clean keep things in check until I have started multiple 1 litre feeds per day in later flowering?
