Im looking forward to hearing/seeing the difference you have by using the kool bloom. I almost bought some but didnt because I didnt want to make this first hydro grow too complicated.
I change the nutes weekly to avoid any nutrient imbalance and to help keep plant waste and salt buildup from occurring in the hydroton. I flush the hydroton completely. I used one of those water shower heads that you can disconnect and use as a sprayer to spray through the hydroton and to rinse my buckets. I usually rinse the hydroton for about 15 seconds each time I flush to make sure all salts and plant waste are flushed out.
