I'd say no on bottom feeding. Its hard to do correctly and takes a two step process to be done right so no salts are pulled back up into pot. But you can try it to see if you are able to hold more moisture in soil.

Hey Mono. You don't need to water to run off or saturate coco. Check out cultivators grows. As long as you have your ec and pH correct and flush at the right times having slightly drier coco is fine!
One more thing. I just posted in my current journal my soaking process with pics.
Good shatterday Mono beautiful flowers Brother
Hey That Sativa you grew up on 12/12 looked amazing (near the start) I love the feeding info for Coco
Great to see you back on your grow
I've followed all of cultivators grows, and although he is a fantastic grower and extremely knowledgeable his growing style is a totally different ball game from mine.
In order to pull as much harvest weight from the plants it's essential to ensure the conditions are as perfect as can be. Coco allows them to be fed 1, 2, 3 times per day (essential since coco holds no nutrients but does absorb a massive amount of salts). Keeping the medium wet and feeding often you see the same growth rates as hydro, without pumps
Letting the coco dry out is treating it more like soil, with many a headache... Growth slows, plants become deficient and loose the speed of a soil-less medium.
Any time I've let the coco get 'dry' more damp than wet, the pH levels sky rocket to almost 9.0, which locks out all manner of nutrients and creates salt build up. Then the medium needs flushed, and a whole lot of hassle to bring the pH back to 6.0.
