Top off res with nutrients or just water?
my vote would be to addback fresh water with half strength nutes until your reservoir change. If 1350 to start is strong enough, I would bring it back to at least 1200 after it dips down to below 1000. I have never heard of someone over-feeding with a constant ppm of 1350 though.
Is your float valve connected to a water source that refills your reservoir with plain water when it gets low ?
Is it possible that you can have more nutrient solution in your reservoir, so that you dont need a float valve triggering more and more plain water diluting your reservoir??
I wouldn't schedule a reservoir change every 4-5 days. That will get old really quickly and you will kick yourself if you later find out that it would have been better to change once a week to two weeks with a few different techniques.
Ask Zandor, he will shed some light over to you.Stormcooker Reviewed by Stormcooker on . Top off res with nutrients or just water? Hi, after mixing a fresh reservoir of nutes (in an aero system), the ppm was 1350. 24 hours later, it was just under 1000. Next day, it was under 800 â?? a pretty weak level for foot-plus plants. Iâ??m a complete newbie to hydro, so I was wondering: should I be replacing what they eat everyday (bringing the ppm level back to 1350 daily), or should I let the plants drain the drink down to ? I read on this forum one opinion that replacing what they eat is good. But logic is also telling me Rating: 5
