Hello to the community :) So for about 12 days now, the pH of my aquafarm reservoir tends to drop down to 5.3 sometimes. 1. I drained the reservoir and cleaned everything. 2. I rinsed the clay pebbles with the new soup.

Does a bottom feed watering system need to stay wet? Or can it dry out before refilling? And why? Thanks!
I'm using the AC Infinity SELF-WATERING FABRIC POT BASE. I don't top feed, so does anyone know if I should let the reservoir dry out? Or, because it's a form of hydroponics, do I make sure to keep water in there all the times? Also, should I keep the nutrients constant? Thanks!

lana de roca - DWC - urgente
I've already germinated some seeds, when it comes to transferring them to the rockwool cubes, do they need nutrients? I've seen instructions to add nutrients to the bucket water, but in the first week, the roots won't touch the water, right?

GHE Waterfarm - pump timing
Hi all! I am using Waterfarm from GHE and I have set it up so the pump goes on and off at same time with the lights. Is this timing OK or is it better to just run the pump 24/7? I have no experience in hydroponic yet.

Air pump for watering
How do I use an air pump? My step dad bought me this today & said I could use it for watering. Again, there weren’t any instructions & I’m not big on YouTube tutorials.

Adding nutrient to autopot aquavalve reservoir
I use autopots which bottom feed my plants. I am starting to feed them flower Fuel NPK 1-34-32. Its recommended to be top fed 1.5gs per 3ltrs of water. So my question is, can I add 1.5g to the small reservoir which is located where my aquavalve is instead of top feeding them?

Keeping nutrients longer
I have a simple system with a pump that adds water to my coco pots once every couple of days but the nutrient solution starts separating (making a foam) after a couple of days. Do you have solutions for this problem or nutrient suggestions? I am currently using canna coco a/b.

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!

Bottom water absorption system cultivation
I cultivate a bottom water absorption system in a 25L pot, but I am troubled with EC management every time. Since it is raised with 165w LED light, it is fun to determine the limit that does not burn. Please tell us when to raise your EC.
