Question on changing water?

I am doing my first true hydroponics grown and and a few ups and downs, things seem to have smoothed out. I have a very tough little girl growing! She had a bad couple of weeks when she was very young when I had to go out of town for a few weeks and she hung in there with me and is now looking gorgeous! I am able to keep my ph levels very uniform now at 6.1.

I am using a 5 gallon water supply. I have been changing out my water every Saturday using no nutrients and then changing it again on Sundays and getting back on the nutes. Temps are staying between 80 and 83.

Am I changing the water out often enough? Do I need to be worrying about relative humidity? She is about 5 inches tall and bushing out nicely.

when i grew hydro i changed the water every week and cleaned the res your on the right track. i wouldnt worry about your humidity to much unless its extremely high

I would say since this is your first time with hydroponics it is wise to change it out every week. It will teach you how this works. I change them out ever y 3 weeks, but that's me as I just know how to do that.
