I'm thinking recirculating and topping off during the week and fresh rez changes weekly. That would save me like 10 gallons of feed per week for the last 6 weeks or so...

I have no clue but sounds like it should work I am curious

This is today and last night's runoff

That's about 3 gallons I dump into my yard every 2 days ish. 700ppm 6.0ph in the rez. 730ppm 5.5ph runoff. It feels like I should be able to recycle the runoff and swap for fresh weekly

Got a disc filter like this on it. It's 120 mesh. Seems to keep the drippers pretty clean. I use a 20 gallon tub with a sump pump and pressure regulated drippers

Similar nute delivery setup to mine, except I use open tubes into floraflex trays that distribute the water in my larger coco pots, and small DIY pvc equivalents that do the same in solos. The distribution holes are visible and easy to clean if needed, so plugging is not an issue, so I have deleted my former filter downstream of the pump. My irrigation timers come on for 6 seconds six times a day for the big pots, and 8 times for 6 seconds for solos.

Different strokes, but lots of ways to do the job well. You seem to have your setup very nicely sorted. Might be the first time I have noticed someone else using that sort of pump. Welcome to the club.

Anyway, good luck with it if you try it. Just watch the plants carefully, and at the first sign of nute mischief, go back to fresh nutes ASAP. All just my two cents worth of course.

Beauty of coco is if it doesn't work I can flush and change plans in like an hour
