Reservoir Change Poll

I'm on my 6th week and ive only swapped it out once (when i changed from veg to bloom). I added 1 tsp every other day for veg. now 2 tsp every other day for flower. i may go up to 4 tsp (full strength) in a couple days.

i change my nutes on the babies every other week and keep the water level the same over that time. i run about 500ppm for little ones using a 3-2-1 with advanced nutrients with sensi-zym. i use the waste solution to water all the plants in my house and this summer i am going to put in a vegetable garden and run the watering system off of my sump pump, this way i can just dump the nutes in the sump pump crock and i dont have to transport it outside for others to see. i usually let the plants decide what they need. as long as they are growing in the veg cycle i up the nutes every week till i see that they are starting to choke a little. then i change nutes and run them slightly lower than the highest ppm last reached until flower and the i do the same, up the nutes till they suffer a little and back it off till leech cycle. i never do this in extreme. maybe only 100ppm at a time till the plant says thats enough.

I change my res when it needs it, and I never add more nutes to an existing res. Top-off daily with pHed water only, when I've topped off with the amount of the res, I change the res.

I change weekly. As well as clearex weekly. I always mix 10-15 gallons extra and use that and water for top offs. Then for the last three weeks I only use water. I change it out weekly as well with clearex too.then the last day I let them sit with no water. Then chop chop

WOW, i bet you go through nutes and that clearex junk like McDonalds does happy meals.

i wanna see someone do a side by side with the only diff being the flushing solution. i think those flushing solutions are just marketing, i use the same water i mix my nutes with. a big plop of mollasses, ph and im running.

okay...i finally changed my rez because i finally have the money to get more nutes(ive been out). i think i went almost 2 whole months, maybe more. it was too long, i had hella funk in the rez. i still think a month is cool, but i definetly pushed it this time.

Hey I was wondering if your using RO water and a DWC system and your using hydroguard to control bacterial growth, couldnt you get away with keeping the same rez for the whole grow and just keep adding nutes as needed?

I will run my op without a change at all. 7 wk flower cycle with no-veg clones. Flood hydro. GH FloraNova Bloom and H2O2 is all I use. I addback 1/2 - 1 1/4 nute strength depending on the res PPM at the time. It comes out to about 2.0EC 5.8-6PH every time. As long as my PH stays in range there will be no change. The Lucas Formula that I am using should not allow a buildup as the plants are taking in the elements at about the rate you are feeding. NO flush either.

Perfect for the lazy stoner growing personal stash.
