I know this doesn't work in coco because of salt buildup, but would doing it in soil make any difference? I'm guessing no, but I have my fingers crossed lol
You have to water to runoff in soil also or you will get salt build ups all over your roots and create lockouts even using the synthetic nutrients as they react with your pots environment they will create calcium build ups run off is always good think of it like a bath even though you scrubbed yourself clean there is still soapy residue on you when you get out of the tub but when you shower and have that water running off you it carries away the soap residue and dirts same concept with the soil

You don't absolutely need to feed until run off using coco, if you want you can feed your nutrient at low ec so you in effect you're ldiluting the salt build up back to say 1.2ec using 0.8ec.
A capillary set up, autopots and blumats work on that very principle.
