Water usually decrease when plants drink..... no leaks?

They drank half gallon per day in DWC.

Ok thanks for reply but i think it can drink but when the water decrease what should i do can i water plain without any nutes or when the level drops will i give water with nutes?

 

[oldman60]

I top off with plain water. Others add nutes when adding water. Either way will work.

 

[Jimmycricket]

I say it will partially depend on how fast the water gets evaporated or drunk up.

If its mostly being evaporated justdo water, or do 1/4 strength nutes in water.

If its mostly being drunk, then do 1/4 nutes-3/4

Ok thanks alot for replys
I added plain water top off and i try 1/4 nuted added next time

 

[Jimmycricket]

Yeah thats how i did it in my DWC.

Sometimes I would just add water (ph it to like 4.8-5.5 though)

Other times I put 1/4 or half strength nutes and also PHed it.

 

[Jimmycricket]

also keep in mind that it does not need to be completely topped off. Infact the first few inches prefer to just hang in air.

Basically the huge big thick roots like to be in air, then the little tiny fiberlike roots should be in water.

 

[jkuweyn]

Hah yes it must take air and my plants roots full in water and 24 hours air with airstone
And one more question whats your EC level generally in veg time?
And do you use any foliar spray just water or any nutes in both veg and flower time?

 

[Jimmycricket]

in my hydro DWC I never checked EC, tbh I barely did shit to them and they grew to like 7 feet tall in 3 months. I never bothered with changing water (i did it like 2 times in that entire span of 3 months), I never adjusted the PH (except when adding water I would usually PH that to about 5).

As for foliar feeding, no I never did foliar feeding plants that size woulda been messy. I foliar feed my soil plants outside though about 1 time a week in flower.
