I need some flowering help.
I have an AeroGarden hydro grow with three girls on 12/12s for about 3 ½ weeks. Bud sites are popping. I’ve been feeding them Flora Nova Grow and Big Bud nutes. As the reservoir goes down I’ve been topping it off with the water/nute mix. Once a week I drain/flush the reservoir and add a new water/nute mix.

:confused: My questions are: Should I be topping off the reservoir with just water and only adding more nute mix once a week, after flushing? I seen this recommended in a thread I read. My reservoir goes quite low during the week when the temps rise. Will the plants get enough nutes when I top off with just water?
Also, I’ve seen some folks recommending adding molasses to the water with no nutes during flowering. Can someone please offer advice on this practice?
I am looking for any help I can get to make them buds grow and develop trichromes.
:peace:
 
First, you don't want it getting real low. You need to check it more often and keep it full. You can top it off with plain water but keep track of how much you have added total. When that gets to a half gallon add nutes. This is where a ppm meter comes in handy but this method will work. When they drink water fast they are looking for food.

I don't let it get too low, but they drink steadily. I'll try the 1/2 gal method you suggest. Thanks I.S.
