sounds like a good idea to me, good luck and good growin!
whenever you fertalize or water, its always a good idea to try to soak the pot. if the root hairs stay dry too long they die, so if you are only watering the top, then you loose a lot of roots and salts build up really fast
Ya, i failed for a long time before i got it. I gotta tell you, the end of my pain was a TDS meter. when you stop guessing on the nutrient levels, you stop guessing whether or not your plants will live
Just buy one off ebay, its like 30 bucks and then you never guess at nutrients. I flush every week with water, then flush with nutrients. no salt buid up. never burnt. never deficient. If you get that down growing becomes fun again

see if you had a TDS meter you could find out what your nutrient stregth truely is, and flush your plants until they are what they should be at. Then they are never stunted and they grow a lot faster and healthier
tells you how many disolved solids are in the water (TDS=Total Disolved Solids) and thats the PPM(Parts Per Million). That way you never have to worry about over fertilizing. you test the nutrients before you pour it in, then test the run off and keep flushing until both values are close. This flushes away unused salts, and replaces it with new salts(nutrients)
