I'm confused about the reasoning for not top watering if you wanted to go that way. If you're bottom feeding through the wicks then the bottom is where the nutrients are if the tops aren't getting wet. Top watering will push the salts out of the soil and into the res rather than spreading it into the root zone, no?I'm debating about some top water but afraid to push the salts into the root zone. I'll think on this a bit more and see what happens with upping MC.
