I have just been letting my plants drink up full premixed gallons.Im using Fox Farms nutes.
what i have been doing is adding the nutes to the water at the beg of my "week" then topping up the res whenever it gets low (even a little) with just fresh distilled water. then when my new "week" starts i just add the nutes to some water and dump it in. now i was thinking that doing it that way would just dilute the nute strength in the res when i added water. so today i pre mixed the nutes in a gallon and used that to top up (almost half a gallon). i figure that way my ppm's will stay the same? i could also be horribly wrong. the feeding sched says feed with every watering. but then on the bottom of my chart i got with them it says to top up res with fresh water between res changes. but it says to change the res every other week. i feel like id go through a my whole res and have no nutes in there. or do the plants absorb all the nutes they need for the week. gah, typing this now i feel like i added way to much nutes. what to do, what to do!?
As long as there is water dribbling on the roots then you are fine, you don't really have to top it off.
If my plants ever drink the entire res I'd just fill it up about halfway depending on what part of the week it was relative to when I need to re-add nutes.
Then its pretty much empty when you need to add new nutrient cycle, you just dump out the tiny bit that was left, rinse out the tank and put new set of nutes in (premixed in gallon jug).
When you top it off with regular water that lowers your ppm.
When you refill it with the same concentrated ppm water/nute mix thats fine, you just refilled what was consumed.

Alrighty folks were a week and a day into flowerin and feelin fine. the girls are looking absolutely beautiful with hairy little nug babies popping up all over the place. trimmed a few of the bigger fan leaves cause they were yellow and dying. i also took a few leaves off one of the plants main cola's cause they were deformed and retarded looking. not sure if that was a good call or not. this last week i have been topping up with pre mixed nute water and things have been going smooth. i think this week im just gunna let it run out before i change it out and clean out the res next week. enough rambling, sorry the pics arent the best. still using my cell phone.
the bunch, i wish i knew what kind of seeds these were!
this is part of the one on the left. it had a lot of LST going on. i took some off.
one of the many little buds
the middle one and part of the big one on the right. (i can never get a good picture of that one!)
a better view of the left one and the hash plant, which is actually producing some little nug buds of its own!
same one
middle one again
again, tryin to get a digital camera soon. these pics dont do the ladies justice.
i keep having to up my PH. even if i havent added water. (the water i do add is phed any way) why could this be?
ill keep y'all posted
over and out captian

thanks! thats kinda what i was thinkin. i read everywhere that MJ roots dont like to be too wet. but in the AG i dunno. it seems like they like it when they are swimming. what do you water them with when you do top up? i might just top off with fresh water till next week when i change the res.Congratufuckinlations!

Yea man those are looking good.
When I premix my stuff I usually let my res get pretty low before I refill it and I don't usually fill it to the top, you get alot more of the slow drip action on the roots when the water level is lower.

yeah.. you dont want to top of with frsh water because it changes the consistency of nutes that are in there... you want to keep that the same so you dont shock the plant.... and probably get mad droopy. Like Lurk said.. just pre-mix the shit in a gallon and always pour the same mix into the rez.... with freshwater you are diluting the rez water and it wont be givin the plant the same amount of nutes....thanks! thats kinda what i was thinkin. i read everywhere that MJ roots dont like to be too wet. but in the AG i dunno. it seems like they like it when they are swimming. what do you water them with when you do top up? i might just top off with fresh water till next week when i change the res.

So friday i started noticing some yellowing leaves combined with brown crispy spots. i didnt really think much of it cause i was gunna change out the res and re nute soon. (figured it was a deficiency cause i didnt add enough nutes last time or somethin)
Now day 15 of flowering, after changing the res and adding new nutes and water and stuff. its getting worse and spreading around. The PH was a bit high this morn when i checked it but i corrected it. lemme know what you think. it starts off as little brown spots!
