If the runoff is high, that probably means you need to up your watering schedule a little. You hand watering or recurulating?

Edit: sorry just saw you're wilma, how often do you flood and how long for?

I'd say that's not enough buddy. Coco works best when using a high frequency fertigation schedule. I've seen lots make the mistake of using coco like you would soil with a wet to dry cycle and end up with issues later on in thr plants life cycle then chase their tail flushing and throwing things further out of balance. Coco is not soil and should be treated differently IMO. As your plants get bigger, the demand for water increases. If you're not watering enough in coco, this causes salts to build up in the media and spikes the TDS of the run off. Don't flush :) that's the first thing most people think of but you can piss things off even more. Either add an additional cycle half way during the day or double the feed time. My advice would be go for another feed half way during the light cycle but it's up to you what you feel more comfortable with. Should rectify itself in a few days. Hope this helps!

I would set all the feeds while the lights are on. You could probably push three but best only make small incremental changes so you can monitor and correct if necessary. Doubling should solve your issue though so don't sweat it.

So I'd cycle once when the lights first turn on then another 6 hours later and then dry for 18 hours. Your plants don't transpire during the lights off period so the extra water is 't required.
