Would it be wise to have the dripper on constantly when growing in coco?

Ive successfully grown in hydro, Ive failed with soil now Im going to try coco (canna's) & Ill be using the 4 pot Atami system my question is should the dripper be flowing constantly or a few times day at set intervals?

as i am aware i think you set it to drip so many litres over so many hours for instance

2 litres in 1 hour once a day.

thats just for example. I have never grown in a dripper system but i do use coco and i hand water it every few days when the pots feel lighter. Unsure how well a dripper system would work with coco as coco has a tendancy to build up salts in it and regularly needs flushing. You would have to do this maybe once a week or so if you are feeding with each watering.

Hope this helps a little.
