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?

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.
