How often do I add nutrients?

Every time you top off the system.

You mix nutrients with a gallon of water and keep that to the side. When needed top off the reservoir with the nutrient mixture.

It is a good idea to change nutrient in the system about once a month for best results

Use the discarded nutrient mixture to water you potted plants or bed plants.

The current nutrient mix is a basic all-around mix best for leafy greens.  Special mixtures will be available in the future.
