Sounds like you're watering just fine imo. Wet-dry cycles like that do work with bottled nutrients. Organic is a different story. When I grow with synthetic nutrients I personally like 10-20% runoff. Helps reduce salt buildup that way. I also do 5.8 pH going in (coco) and always monitor the PPM of the runoff.
thanks gentlemen
I usually have some run off when feeding and just water. Helps keep the build up down.
I rather not have run off but either way is fine as long as you let the pot get light before you water agin you should be fine
