just don't let it dry out if your not watering till run off. when it dries is when the salt starts building up.

Runoff isn't as necessary in the beginning, because there shouldn't be much build up of salts early on. Think about it.;-)

While you're running this experiment, you should probably still achieve runoff periodically so you can then check the runoff EC to make sure it's not starting to skyrocket.
I water with 1.7 - 1.8 EC of nute solution everytime until roughly 15-20% runoff everytime(it's why I grow up on trays because of runoff). I've been growing in coco since coco came out for us to use. I kill it. Is the way I do it the only way it can be done? No. But it works flawlessly every single time, for me and everyone else I know.
