Just change out the res. Assuming you are using a hydroponic medium, there's no need to do anything else. In veg, you can probably get away with just topping off the res and changing it every 2 weeks.

EC and PPMI read about EC and PPM. I have a meter that reads both, and it says my PPM is too low, and the number it gives for EC is like 1200 and the charts all have numbers like 1.2-2. WTF.
I ran out of pH strips but I know my pH is good, I used distilled water. What's everyone's thought?Week 7

When to start flushingShould I stop adding nutrients and just give the plants plain water now? I'm in Week 8 and many of the FastBuds Pineapple Express Auto grows I've seen harvest around week 10. Would switching to just water be a sufficient flush?Week 7
