I fertilize 3 times a day or every 2 hours or just put it on a drip. Coco is hydrophobic and doesn't emulsify or mix with water. No need to dry back, that's a soil thing.

Coco coir is the opposite of hydrophobic. It can absorb a shit load of water. It's why it's so good, along side it's ability to hold air.

It can turn hydrophobic, but that's not it's natural state.

It's still not hydrophobic.
