Anyone gone from cocoa to ebb and flow?

Been top feeding coco up to now and was thinking of going to an ebb and flow(flood table). It looks like less time watering to me, just wanted to see if others had gone the same route or 'been there..done that'.

I was thinking about getting a drip irrigation system to water my coco

That was my initial thought, drain to waste. The flood table seems like a better option.

Would you have to worry about nute lockout because of feeding from the bottom with no runoff?

I don't think so. When the table drains, it will remove all the nutrients in solution.

I just thought that when you watered coco with runoff it was supposed to wash the old nutes out the bottom with the runoff. Nutes are supposed to attach to the coco husk.
