i've just been reading upon hydro feeding and from what i can gather you can do a couple of ways, firstly just top the res up with plain water to your res and dump out and refill once a week or you caan arse on daily taking ph readings and ec and work out how much food the plans taking on board and add nutes plus water.

the second being a shit load more precise but you'll constantly be riding the edge of whats happening balance wise. the first means you will constantly underfeed your plants. or there's the half way house of mixing a low amount of nutes but not just plain water.

I'm going to get a waterfarm and go with plan A first. then see if i can go onto the third option.

Yeah, seems to be a balancing act. I honestly only change my res once every two-three weeks during veg, and at least every 2 weeks in flowering. It just depends how big your res is imo. I think people tend to get a little too anal with it and dump a ton of money down the drain. I've heard of people not changing their res the entire time except when they flip to 12/12. I think that might be a little out there unless you had a massive res, and few plants or something. I think 2 weeks is a good rule of thumb. If you're growing out of a 5 gallon bucket though you probably want to do it every week imo.

Forgot to mention, considering all the food pics I've been sporting, but I'm up to 155-lbs now (11% body fat).
The gift from the Worm Faerie has definitely helped ignite my appetite.
;-)
Thank you Worm Faerie!

Pics:








Scrog is back in action, replete and resplendent under amber waves of Super HPS courtesy of the fine indoor lighting gurus at Eye for their fine Hortilux brand of fine bulbs used to grow fine indoor plants, be that rosemary, or perhaps parsely or sage, if you have the thyme... hmmmm, yes.... quite.

The white balance settings for this cheapo Canon works pretty good.







You might never know it was under 600w HPS until I fiddled with the controls...

Hey guys. I had a good time yesterday at the gentle barn. It's a rescue shelter for abused farm animals. Definitely a good vibe to be around.

I snapped a couple pics of the plants too. I think they've been in 12/12 for 2 weeks now. Chernobyl, and Sour D.
