  • I’ve tried this myself and researched a bunch at the time.

    Most people suggest no more than 1 fruiting plant in a reservoir this size (and even several times larger) because what it will do is take the nutrients it needs and leave the ones it doesn’t.

    So say you have A B and C, fruiting plants need a lot of C. That means that A and B build up in the form of salts and can stop them taking up other nutrients.

    So the only way to get them going to any real degree is frequent full changes, not just topping up.

    All that said, you’re experimenting and having fun and thats completely fine, just sharing what I’ve learned.

    I did this 2 years ago, and this year ended up growing monstrous 2 metre tall vining varieties in 20L semi-kratky buckets.

    Incredibly vigorous and impressive but tbh the water changes are still boring and the soil ones are far easier to maintain and doing 80% as well.

    Still, a super fun project.
