Why has my plant slowed down to a trickle in water uptake from the wick bottom feed system?
So I have a bottom feed wick system. Works great, but now my plant is dry on the bottom and seems to have slowed down to a trickle of water uptake. What does this mean? The soil is also drying out pretty quickly as well. See Diary for further details. What do I do? Thanks!

Blumats and Feeding
For people who use Blumat systems, what's the procedure for mixing in nutrients/supplemental things for growth? The Blumat system pulls water when the soil dries past a certain point, so what's the best rule for feeding in that case? Shut the system "off" a few days pre feed?

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.

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?
