going to try to top feed plants today, have been curious if it matters how I get the water into the buckets. 1- pour on peddles (somewhat difficult with bushy plant) 2- remove lid and pour straight into water (also somewhat difficult with training ties, but going to duct tape chop stix to top of lid and secure there, or 3- pour with a funnel down the side tubes (seems easiest bc nothing has to be touched or adjusted, but not sure if its the best method also not exactly top feeding then)... again my first time trying to feed without doing an all out water change
Also should I add extra nutrients to try and bring PPM back up to around 400 or just add a level of 400ppm nutrient water to the bucket e.g. plant B now has a ppm of about 275, should the gallon of water I am adding to the 2.5 in the bucket try to bring this 275 up to 400, or should my nutrient water just be 400 going in.... assuming I should try to make it a little higher and bring the 275 up to 400 as close as a I can
A 3/4" or 1" bulkhead fitting into the lid will work just fine. Use proper screwon pvc cap to cover when not in use. 1" holds a funnel quite well.
Follow your feeding schedule. If your ppm are a little short or a little high don't stress. The PPM charts are guides like everything else we do while farming. As long as your plants are green and healthy leave them be! Tis better to be short rather than over though
Happy Growing
