Hard to say. If you were using maxibloom it's easy = 28g of nutes powder per week.

Anything else idk goes by instructions.

Not really feeling like decoding your string at the bottom.

Wtf, is no waste in a top feed , Dwc btw.

I don't see why not, 4 gallons changed every 10 days , 3x a month =12 times including a fat veg period. Check labels against that.

isn't it recommended to change the water every week?
Bro you can split hairs over 3 days if you like. I changed every 10 days and ppm said I could of waited more. For the record, last time I ran Dwc plants drank 2+ gallons a day each and had massive root zones

So if the water goes down should I just top it off or leave it as is?

Top it up and reset ph. Adjust for swing depending on direction.

Check ppm daily to see and get a feel.
Also at the point you top res during week to more than you added at water change time to change res and set ppm again. Could add more need for products. #variables

Big thanks! Hey also is there any reason why they are instructing me to put the water pump on a timer? it comes with 2 timers one for the light and one for the pump but can't seem to understand why i thought a water pump is on always?

Pump on non stop heats water out of range. Anytime I have a pump in the res it's on max 30 mins an hour and more like 15. Small volume is easy to heat up.

I'd start there, maybe you can run nonstop, just watch res temps and watch plant's.
Hey i just put my plants in i got 2 clones called Sour double and northern lights any ways my water reads 5 8 ph and the temp inside 59 should i turn off the fan?
