    Bubbleponics top up water

    Experienced grower and new to this forum but always trying to improve. Question for today: I’m growing in a bubbleponics set up and wondering about top up water between rez changes. Plants are drinking up 2 litres a day. Should it be the same solution I am using and changing out once a week or just water? (My water is ro)

    If you run a test on the remaining nute mix midway between res changes you'll see what the plant is taking up the most if you know your starting baseline. Prior to flower its more often than not the calmag that is depleted first.

    Without testing Id just add your standard nute mix prior to correcting the pH in the res.
    Flower Room: 11' x 7' x 7.5'H, 480w AC, 13gal/day dehumidifier, 1.5gal ultrasonic humidifier, 60gal (27gal usable) nute tank, 16" pedestal fan & 18" wall fan. Lighting and climate automated. Hand watering.
    Veg Cupboards: ​​​​​​Two 4x2x6H cupboards. SF2000 Evo in one SF7000 in other. Climate controlled and automated. Hand watering
    Aeroponics Low Pressure Bucket: 20W LED. 5 clones & 20W LED 11 clones
    Lights: Mars Hydro FC-E1200W, SF-7000, SF-2000 evo in flower room.
    Medium: Coco/perlite, 7.2gal pots, no drains
    Current Grow: ​​​5 x Photos Franklin's Orange Zkittles x Sour Diesel in flower room, 3 Franklin's White Widow x Sour Diesel Clones, 13 x Orange ZkittleZ x Sour Diesel clones in Aeroponics buckets x 2.
    Last Grow: A mix

      I have grown in hydro for for over 15 years because I love to experiment and the media for hydro growing is inert so there is no mystery in what the plants are getting . Its just whatever your giving it. Without getting into the details one of things I have had success with is I dont change the water in a grow, and before I top it off and before the flip I measure the amount of water I had to add and add nutrients equal to what that amount of water should need, I also check the PPM's frequently and I measure the sap PH so I know what is lacking or over indulging.
      By the time I get to mid flower the Veg nutrients are are gone and its running mostly if not totally on flower nutes. I also learned that as the plants get closer to being ready to harvest the nutrient intake decrease and they start living on their stores. Most living things that go out naturally do the same thing
      Dont take my word for it, try it yourself
