How should I be topping off? Fresh pH water or the nutrient mix.
so if your adding in 1 gallon of water , you want to mix in your nutes then add to your reswhen topping off your res you want to mix in nutes with water before putting in your res tank
either way. some people top off with nutes for the whole grow and never change a resHow should I be topping off? Fresh pH water or the nutrient mix.
yep. i wouldn't do it personally but many do it that way.Are you saying some people never change the reservoir water?
That makes a lot of senseIf your EC goes up, just water. If your EC stays the same, add nutes at the same, or slightly lower EC. If your EC drops add slightly stronger nutes. Not that difficult.
Seriously ?I'm lazy and don't even top off. I let it drink the res empty then refill with new nute mix.

That's what I do. I refill it when it's about 15-20% of what I put in.I'm lazy and don't even top off. I let it drink the res empty then refill with new nute mix.
I do the same. Unless I under or over estimated how much the plant needs.That's what I do. I refill it when it's about 15-20% of what I put in.
Depending on the size of the plant, usually like every 7-9 days fully mature cuz my air stones are so big it actually usually still has a couple gallons at the bottom, I don't let it get below the air stones. For sake of doing it on the weekend I usually just do it every Sunday.about 10 days?
check to see if that hose is drinking water safe.they purposely poison most them for flexibilityI got a short water hose and ran a pipe off the tap into my shed so I can just top off when the level goes down, usually twice a week
