Ha! Yea, I never wait the 20 minutes before adding the B when I am mixing nutes. Never had an issue. I do raise the PH after Mixing A & B, because it drops the water to below 5.0.
Oh and Amos, I never change my res in Veg. I just top off and increase feeding over time. I only do Res changes in Flower. I am pretty much a treat them like hoes in Veg and treat them like Ladies in Flower. lol.

Right...it seems a waste to throw out a solution of nutes during veg, as there's little chance it's been depleted enough to matter. But I do it more as a way of keeping the roots happy w/o all the other products we've discussed. I have no idea if that's the reason I never have root problems......but concentrated nutes are cheap enough, ya know?
I have to add...lol.....that sometimes I'll dilute and use the discarded nutes on younger plants, if there's no evidence [ smell] of a problem.

I did the same exact thing once, only negative I noticed is some residue comes off the coco in the first couple weeks into the rez, plant grew HUGE in the coco substitute. Might try it again but right now i'm just using the rocks.I used coco in my net cup this run. I use 3" in my dwc and just plant seed straight into system. Fill the water just the the bottom of the coco so it stays most. Didn't have to hand water or anything. No moving around or reporting. Turned out alright lol.

I just used the coco because I had a coupe bricks laying around. Was really nice to not have to deal with moving seedlings or hand watering or anything like that.

Oh yea, works great, I was growing in coco hand watering for like 2 years, I liked it for the yields but I just couldn't get my flavor profile the same as my no till organics, so I just went back to RDWC for my yields and still do the notill for my tasty head stash . I make concentrates out of my DWC buds and smoke some sometimes

With the 3" net pots I didn't have a huge amount of residue. After a couple Rez changes the water started coming out clean again. The coco at the top also dries out mostly so there's no chance of fungus gnats or mold or algae, which is nice.Oh yea, works great, I was growing in coco hand watering for like 2 years, I liked it for the yields but I just couldn't get my flavor profile the same as my no till organics, so I just went back to RDWC for my yields and still do the notill for my tasty head stash .

I didn't get any algae or gnats or anything and my system has a top drip feeder, but yea I see the possibility of that, my net pot is huge, like 2 gallons.

Yeah i try to have as little medium as possible. I recently, as an experiment, used a paper towel and poked the taproot through in a mini dwc water bottle to see if that was enough. The answer is yes lol.

I can see how less medium would be ok, I mean the plant mostly hangs into the water under it anyway...I am still learning DWC and always open to new things.

Not a problem. I like convos about grow medium. I just rigged up an aeroponic system I'm going to run next cycle with some cookie wreck cuttings. The growth rate is supposed to be better than dwc due to the ratio of oxygen:water vs waterI can see how less medium would be ok, I mean the plant mostly hangs into the water under it anyway...I am still learning DWC and always open to new things.

xygen. Even more can go wrong though. Never tried it myself but I figured it was worth a shop so I would have a personal experience with aero to see if I like it better or worse than dwc. I honestly like to use as little as possible in my growing technique. Kind of minimalist. And when I eliminated soil my grow area got cleaner and easier to manage. Plus not having to deal with throwing anything away after harvest and replacements is awesome. If I can get down to just water oxygen and nutrient as media i think that will be the most efficient/productive setup possible.

Plants grow soooo fast in it. I use a bubble stone in it too

That's sweet. I made a faero system so if the roots grow too deep it'll be a glorified dwc lol.I have a 7 spot aerogarden

Do you have an aero timer for your misters?

It's on the front of that unit, has the aero controls and the lighting controls. It works off a pump not a mister, kinda a weird aero system. Kinda sprays water with a pump thru a weird plastic thingy under the lid of the container. Almost like a drip system. it has 3 modes, germination, intermediate, and heavy growth.
