Floraflex Nutes and Reservoir question

I am now running the Floraflex nutes. The veg and bloom are each 2 parts. I'm currently running the bloom nutes. Mix B1 into water. After it is mixed, mix B2 into the water.

I understand that part. It's super easy when I was a caveman using 1 gallon jugs to water. Now that I have evolved and I have set up my drip system with a 30 gallon reservoir, I am wondering if I need to run empty before filling it up again? Or how do I go about topping it off? I marked lines on the res to tell me how much water I have added, so I should be able to get pretty close ec/ppm wise with one addition of nutes, but can I add 10 more gallons to it if it still has 12 left? How do I approach that?

Mix B1 in 5 gal bucket, add to res.
Mix B2 in 5 gal bucket, add to res.
If you needed 20 gallons, make each 5 gal bucket at double the concentration and add an additional 10 gals of water.
Maybe there's an easier way, but that's how I've always done it (usually w/ a 1-part but same principle)

That's pretty much what I was thinking. I was able to find something on their FAQ site and it said



So, I'd say your way works or if one felt like it, they could add the water needed, mix in B1, and then mix in B2. But if I can mix a concentrate outside of the reservoir, I'll do that. Easy peasy. Thanks!!!

I just mix 15gal at a time then top off my res. If it's always the same mix there's no issue.
