    Default Topping up a recirculating system,PLAIN WATER OR NUTRIENT MIX ?

    I run recirculating top feed. Lets say my plants are drinking 25 litres each day (175 litres each week).

    I have a 200 litre top up tank with a ballcock valve topping up the system, which I fill with nutrient solution at a strength I will need for the following week which drip feeds the system. I make any adjustments to PH/EC in the main system.

    My system EC in general stays steady and I only need to adjust the PH especially during early flower (usually I am getting PH drop)

    I read that you should only top up with plain water but surely this would weaken the EC of the feed dramatically by the end of the week. I just don't get it

    I've always top up with a nute feed and if I need to bring the ec down then plain water into the system and alter the ph when needed
