I also just top off the water once per week during seedling/veg. Seedlings don’t like reservoir changes, so I will only change the reservoir once or twice while in that stage.
During veg and flower I changed the water completely every seven days. I topped off each bucket once per week (topped off on Wednesdays and changed completely on Sundays).

Haha that’s funny! My dad converted a school bus into a motor home too, back in the day. I remember un-bolting all the seats from the floor. And if I remember correctly the side of the seat (wall side) just slipped into a notch. Ours didn’t have square ends it was more round. Looked like a twinky for a while until we painted it lol.
~OKM- LOL Twinkie… That’s funny.
When the plants are very small they use a small amount of water so I go 2 weeks. Then as I notice the water level dropping ( plants drinking gallons )
I change to 7-10 days. I don’t think there is any specific watering scedual for dwc. You SHOULD top off with fresh ph’ed water every day when vigorisly growing, you can always add nutrients in with the fresh water as well if the ppm dropped below your happy medium ( I usually give a 50-100ppm to fluctuate, depending on how she’s growing ).
~OKM- Great! Now I gotta ask about the EC meter.
The chart says some thing like EC 1.62 and my meter says
There’s a decimal point in the Temperature but not in the EC reading???
Is That .1546 or 1.546 or 15.46 or maybe 1546.0?
Also before you go on vacation and no I’m not spying on you just giving a heads up lol. Put your plants and water to the test. If you cannot touch them for three days just pretend you are gone, monitoring water levels, ppm ranges and also ph. Then before you go you will know what to adjust your water too before you leave. Leaving you with ease of mind knowing your babies are just fine.
~OKM- Good Idea about the Vacations. Since I’m growing just 1 plant a year I can work my vacations in the other non growing months…
About the cinnamon thing, I have never heard about such a thing. I wouldn’t recommend it to you since you are top feeding. It would just end up in your water and possibly cause fluctuations or something. But again I have never tried it. May have to take a peek.
Are you having bug problems right Now? @okmatthew
No problems … Like I said I read that in ILGM’s news letter…
Loo0k down this page for links to pdf feeding schedule.
You might have to click “read more”, and scroll down
Since you contacted Stacy, you just need to wait for her reply. I can do
no more than that myself. I will be monitoring in case I need to help
out here.
Seems Like It’s been over a week to me. Maybe she’s on vacation?

My meter reads in parts per million PPM. Not sure how ppm and EC compair
All is well. Just checking to see if this still works.
