You can put it in the res but I’ve found the additives like sweet raw and hydroplex especially will lower your ph over time so you have to be on it. Plus I don’t like using ph up and down so it’s a bit of a pain.
Plus when mixing you will need more silica to balance out the lower ph the sweet/hydroplex create when mixing.
I’ve been putting only my base and silica in the Rez. No air stone. No waterfall. Ph never changes and there is no build up. Crystal clear. I give my additives once a week as well as tea once a week.

I've noticed the ph drop. I usually don't have to mess with PH. I haven't check the rez though since adjusting it.

I mixed some and let it sit for a day and it was fine. So I mixed some into the rez, too, so we'll see what happens. It's 1 day so far and all looks great.

I was mostly worried about slime or some sort of incompatibility, but all seems fine. If anything goes bad I can pump everything out and start new.

So, given that I've already used the recipe, is there anything I should be careful of, or be on the lookout for? E.g. The advice above from @Thejoeybrown to check Ph regularly? I'm using the products in the coco setup too, so I can omit them altogether in the RDWC if it seems risky.

My first real OG (Fire OG) plant this round and I didn't put enough tops on it : ( I've never had a plant that grows like this. It looks deeply defoliated from the gate lol. I should have put 3x the amount of tops on it. Just a tall, gangly plant. It doesn't "bush" out...at all. Live and learn.

Flora Flexin.
I want to get all the FF stuff but it’s just pricey. It’s more of a luxury but I do like them!
I’ve been thinkin on pullin the trigger on at least like 24 caps.

Just know they ain't flexible lol.you gotta put them caps on when they are small and the truck will fit in the slot.i thought by looking at pictures they were flexible like maybe silicone,but they are hard plastic.i do like them even though I'm not set up yet because when I water now I can dump a gallon as fast as I can pour and it distributes the water evenly so they already save me about 20min a day with my normal work.

Ya they have them at the shop.. But they are like 10 bucks each. I would just order a bunch. I just like how they distribute water. And they look cool as shit. Ha ha . I also like how the drip line can pour straight in and not go through a dripper better flow
