Wait the bags have food in them too I thought it was just a microbe tea not for food. I’m confused.

There is food in there for the microbes, which in turn will give your plants a little nutrition, but not a large enough source to sustain a full veg... just to feed the microbes.

So..... i still need to feed with the trio... see this will be my issue because I’m not sure how to go about adding nutes after the initial nutes have been used up lol. That’s why the reservoir swap works well for me. Starts it over at x number and I can top off with a nute soup and RO water through out the week. And then start over again.

Yea, you still need to feed like normal.

You can watch the plant to see when it needs to feed or watch ppm drops.

If swapping your res works for you, nothing saying you have to change.

But it kills the whole point of the monkey shit. That’s where I’m pulled...

If all you are looking for is a way to run a constant res, just let it feed down. No need to swap it.

Then i have to add more nutes and that’s where I get fucked off adding nutes to a reservoir with nutes or waste or ppm in it already. I don’t just want to squirt nutes into my reservoir. I’ve got a schedule I’ve been using and I like the ease and no guess work.
 
both my buckets i put the water level indicator tube on the side and they're leaking :'(

gonna have to pull the buckets and hit them with a bunch of thread tape...

I dunno man, do what you do. If you're swapping weekly, there's really no sense in running microbes then. Just nute soup and swap.

That’s what I was saying I’ll try a bucket without changing the reservoir. But I was also thinking about throwing a tea bag in my external reservoir for my coco plants it never goes empty every time I feed I add a couple gallons back and add however much megacrop per gallon I added back.
