Would you recommend to use fertilizers, although Royal Queen Seeds write on there website that Royal Gorilla Automatics don't really need those/ only a very few amount? And if so, which one would you recommend, that I would also find in a hardware store?

Canna boost and autopots
HI! I have a question regarding Canna Boost and autopots. Do you use it in a reservoir? The ph is rising faster in res since I added it. The nutrient solution in res also got cloudy and trays became slimy. Since I use airdromes the ph also rised too much.

Would you try continuous drip in soil with hyper oxygenated water?
Has anyone tried continuous drip with hyper oxygenated water in quality soil on recirculation? Would you ever try that? Would the oxygenated water compensate for the problem of overwatering as in DWC, but in soil? Why would you or would you not try this?

Can you divide your weekly one dose of nutes into every watering so your ppms dont fluctuate much? For example if you water 2 times a week and one time of them is including a 4ml nutes can you split it to every day irigation water in the quantity of 1.75 ml per day totaling 4ml?

EC too high and leaf yellow
EC 1.45 and some yellow leaf… I adjusted the soup by adding water to it and the new leaves seem to be pretty ok. Otherwise, all other parameters are good. It’s odd bc I followed instructions of the brand (Platinium Hydroponics) and the EC lvl is still kinda high. Suggestions?

Watering, what don't I know?
Any advice on good watering techniques and organizational tips and tricks for watering. For current and or future grows. I'm aware my pot size selection was way to large for this auto grow. Should I invest in a self watering rig for the future? Less hassle?

Water level probe?
I ordered an auto feed base kit from AC Infinity. It comes with built in water level indicators. Does anyone know where I can get a wireless probe to replace the standard indicator? I can check the levels remotely. Like a low high level indicator or a float? Thanks!
