Different strains off same res (sip)

Looking into a sip system, leaning towards the 12 pot autopot. I run salts, and have done a few organic runs. What I’m wondering is if you’re running bottomfed salts if you something that needs more food than the others can you just topdress some organics on what needs it and let the plant pull from that? I’m really getting sick of hand watering lol

top dressing is for top watering plants, not sure how affective it would be in a SIP system,

I was thinking cutoff valve and water in some microbes then next day turn the valve back on

Also half ass considering just going the growdots route, but I just don’t really like the dude grows guys lol they kinda give me snake oil salesmen vibes.(yet somehow I never miss an episode lol)

I’ve never used autopots so idk, but if i
U can still water them like normal pots then yes u can do what you’re asking. You can also just mix up a batch of your regular salt nutrients to a stronger or lighter strength and topwater with them. But for just regular organic dry fertilizer you’ll have to topwater a couple or few times to wash it down into the moisture zone the sip is creating

It works. The sip keeps the soil constantly moist. That, along with mulch, keeps the soil surface very moist.
