I think that I have a very similar question/situation. I have 2 pots that have a 2.5 gallon reservoirs each ( full of healthy looking roots). I mix 5 gallons of nutes full strength once a week and top off with ph'd water with calMag or Liquid Karma based on Latewood's legacy nute schedule. I go through close to another 5 gallons of top off each week. I then completely drain the reservoirs and start over. What are other people's thoughts?

I water by hand and sometimes add water when I run low, and then put more nutes in accordingly because it makes things alot more convenient. I was told at the Hydro store that you are supposed to fill resi to desired amount, add nutrients, and then not add more water (besides the 4-5 gallon top off from the d\h) otherwise it kills some of the beneficial things for plants. Is this true? Do those of you who hand water use all the water completely, then re-fill it as needed? Is it really a Rating: 5
