Do I feed nutes every Rez change?

I was wondering do I feed nutes everytime I change Rez, Knowingly thats the only way the receive food since not in soil. Instead of reading the bottles and correct measurements, Im just going by my PPM meter. Using GH and AN for additives Voodoo Juice, RHino Skin, and B-52, SuperTHRIVE.

I keep reading Yes & No, What is it?

No.
At some point you'll want to flush with plain ol' H2O. Definitely flush like a week to10 days before you expect to harvest.
Also... Some strains benefit from multiple flushes. Do your research for whatever you're growing.
Greenhouse Seeds, in Amsterdam, has optimal feeding schedules for some of their strains posted on their website, at least they used to.

What I'm saying is that some strains can handle heavy nutes followed by a flush at multiple points of their flowering. But...
If this is your first grow, just concentrate on the one flush before harvest.
Let your plants do their thing and don't over think your grow.
If you're using aero, you've obviously taken the time to set up a decent room, so...
Just watch 'em grow. You'll dial in and figure out how to maximize your system eventually, or you'll find a strain you like better.
Hope you have a good harvest.
Peace

Think of it more as a nute strength level, rather than just whether or not to add...

You add, but HOW MUCH you add changes as the plant gets bigger n gets stronger roots.

Last week of flower, plain water.


When just topping off the res however, you do not need nute-water every time.

I use 5gal bubble buckets, my current beast eats up about 1.5gal a day of water, so I add plain water once a day to top it off, and each week she gets a fresh bucket of nutes. (I use AN conn. ph perfect... its expensive and all that, but I like that it works, so I don't mess with it, lol)

Get a ppm/ec meter, and use that religiously. Within a few grows, you will master when and how much to add.
