Butt chugging info please…
New grower using the AC inf wicking bases. Was hoping to get some advice on when to top water if too top water, adding nutrients, ect. I understand the basics and am going to use rice hulls as aerator and mulch to retain moisture and add silica. I was only planning on top watering until roots reach the…

Bottom wicking feeders deposit salt at the top of the media. If you top water it can push those salts down into the root zone. I only top water when feeding recharge when using bottom feeding systems. Just my opinion.

Where is the salt coming from? The depletion of nutrients already in the soil?

Thank you very much for the info. I understand the synthetic nuts can leave salt but is that the same for what they use in the foxfarm soil?

Could I work around that by making and amending the soil myself with no salt based nuts? Just trying to learn sorry to blow up the thread.

Fox farms uses salt based nutrients. It’s not a big deal, it’s just something to be aware of. You will notice after a couple months in bottom feed systems the top of the media becomes real hard and crusty but if you stick your finger down in the root zone it’s soft and wet. That’s the concentration of salts that have built up at the top of the media.

Ive heard the 10% thing too, ive also heard 30%, more so i think its what strain you may be working with and what your environment is like and not doing it to early. Im not recommending anything but ive trimmed everything except what was directly on a bud site before just for experiment and it turned out fine . over time you will build up…

Reply to Would like some advice with watering in coco
I agree with the keep it simple until you know your grow. You can easily get caught up thinking you need a bunch of gear then never touching half of it. But if you keep it simple you will know what to add to your grow because that thing you needed to add… Not having it caused an issue, But that other thing you didn’t have? You would never have used.
