Help with changing water/ph/nutes within a hydro table.

So I have a nice 5x5 hydro table with a 40 gallon resivior. It's going to be the first time using this table. I've done hydro many times, but never an areoponics.

Now my question is this.. How do I change the nutrients depending on said week? For example I have a whole chart that every week I change the nutrients just a little bit here and there or add this take away that etc. not when I'm doing a drip system or a flood and drain or even soil it's as simple as just dumping out the old nutrients cleaning the tub that they were in entirely, then refilling with water and then adding the desired levels nutrients pH etc. however with this been I feel like not only will that be a waste but that it wouldn't be possible to do as it's an areoponics mister set up. I feel as soon as I take the water out and dump it out and clean it the roots are going to start drying up and thhen cause shock or even other detrimental problems. So my question is this, how can I fish it when effectively change the nutrient solution within the water while maintaining the effectiveness of my grow ? Any advice or constructive criticism is greatly appreciated thank you.

Wow no one responded to this?? Anyone?? Very soon in the next few weeks going to have the Hydro table set up with about 32 cuts ... I have a rather interesting feeding schedule that with early requires me to change the type and level of what nutrients I'm using depending on what we get is how would I do this with a 30 gallon reservoir ??

You shut off the system and drain it then refill it you repeat this every 7-10 days until harvest.
You don't have to clean the system every nute change. There are a few products to use to help keep the system running clean. You thoroughly clean the system after each harvest. The 10 to 15 min it should take to drain and fill the reservoir the plants will be fine. Yes you have to change the water fast in that type of system. It's really no different than a flood and drain table, bubbleponics or nft.
You say that you have grown many times but asking questions like a newbie that has never grown before. If you're trying something new you are going to do research about it before implementing it. How it works how to run the system including how to do nute changes etc. If you don't like to "WASTE" so much find a different way of growing use that years of experience of using different hydro setups.
All nute schedules have a progressive feeding chart doesn't matter if you are in soil coco or hydro.
To drain the res you use a pump connected to a hose run it to a drain and plug it in in a few min it will be empty then reverse to fill it up or have the jugs filled with water waiting.

I appreciate the advice however not you're belittling nature that you came across. I'm asking questions that you feel are newbie because I just wanted to verify what I've already studied please try to understand it's been years since I've read and studied this type of assistant to be used not to mention this particular system that I purchased I've never done before I've done Hydro many many times but I see I've stated many of my previous post which I'm sure you're too arrogant to ready need before making such a statement, That I have never grown in this type of particular aeroponics system before... I've done drip systems and ebon flow the difference is ebon flow wasn't on constantly damn near like this system is going to be. Thus I figured just as you said that the 15 or so minutes it will take to change the water would be fine however since I've never use this particular system, I just wanted to double we verify with people who indefinitely know rather than wasting time and doing something wrong. Check when I even joined this site dude I mean maybe you yourself she do a little research before belittling someone else's knowledge and experience simply because of a question that you feel I should've been aware about... I feel that's what these threads are all about asking and sharing the knowledge not be whittling it being an arrogant asshole . Take care buddy be sure to check out my grow journal that I will be soon posting tell me then what you think until then kick rocks buddy

And I'm sure you'll point out some crap about the spelling and lack of punctuation, it's due to me using Siri voice chat, as I simply did not want to waste the time to efficiently text this out of my phone. And really feel you were worth that. Plus you're smart as you think you are I think you can decipher what I was meaning to say to you regardless I could give a shit less. Thanks to all who offered constructive criticism him and helpful advice stay tuned.

Yeah so I'm having a bad day and I reread that and felt like an idiot . You definitely got under my skin by calling me a Noob I'm definitely not bro I literally been studying botany since I was 17 and I'm now 27 nearly. And been growing ever since. Regardless I guess I'm just really rusty on Hydro and since I'm bout to invest thousands of dollars into these high-end systems that whereas before I used to just make everything myself to DIY sections. This is kind of a whole new ballgame for me as I literally just cashed out and bought the actual high-grade top of the line aeroponics tables and top-of-the-line timber cob LEDs and what not. Regardless man, it doesn't matter what you perceive of me, I'm asking out of help and to reclarify what I already presumed. I pretty much assumed exactly what you said I just wanted some clarification from someone who's actually done it. Ive done Hydro in the past but never like this before, it's a whole different ball game... So you can perceive me and my experience however you see fit buddy. Wish you the best, take care!

Contrary to the belief of many, a noob/n00b and a newbie/newb are not the same thing. Newbs are those who are new to some task* and are very beginner at it, possibly a little overconfident about it, but they are willing to learn and fix their errors to move out of that stage. n00bs, on the other hand, know little and have no will to learn any more. They expect people to do the work for them and then expect to get praised about it, and make up a unique species of their own.

Kinda want to know how I was belittling nature?
