Got some more help from someone else who knows their shit.
Changed the formula for what goes into the res now. I'm doing a 1:2:3 ratio of protekt:magpro:grow, there wasn't any foliage pro at the grow shop.
For 5 gallons,
1.5ml protekt
3ml magpro
4.5ml grow
which makes
ph 5.8
ppm 130
still keeping water temp at 68f
the starting water is 8ppm, so 120-ishppm of nutrients
when the ppm drops I plan on still topping up with RO water and replenishing with grow only.
Res changes are every seven days now, until all new growth looks proper, and stays that way for a few cycles. No big deal because I've got it set up for easy changes, I'll still be removing and scrubbing the reservoir monthly.
Changed the res yesterday, just drop a pump in the res and pump the old stuff into the drain, then pump new water into the res. I have two marks in there right now, one for 20g and one for 40g.
