Using nutrients spider farmer self watering system

I recently set my plant on self watering bases from spider farmer. Also using a 13gal reservoir. My question is how to go about feeding nutrients? And then just water. I can’t imagine feeding just nutrients and if I need to rotate every few days? Anyone have any experience with this system? Any suggestions much appreciated

Welcome to ILGM, Do not use AC I use Autopots, but top feed until roots are full start bottom feeding, in res start 25%- then 50% then 75% forget runoff just test ph every other day in res for drift, 5.8… That said what ya feeding them as far as nutes?

You’ll need to mix the nutrients in the reservoir that feed the wicking bases if that’s the set up. What medium are you using and vessel type as in fabric pots or plastic. I layer hydroton and add extra perlite to my vessels using autopots :love_you_gesture:

Thanks I’m using 5gal fabric pots Fox farm happy frog soil With added per light 70/30. I just switched from top feeding to this system. Plants were not in good shape. I believe I had dry pockets. How much did underwater so I tried soaking the pot see if that would help it did which is why I switched over.
