I guess I'm hoping to get luck on my side. lol

Basically I'm filling my reservoir (15gal) with fresh water every 7 days and adding Maxigro (15tsp) to that. I'm NOT adding anymore Maxigro or water throughout the week. I am checking the PH

As I read through the forums available, this is where it gets confusing:

1. Should I just top off the reservoir weekly and ONLY do a "fresh change" as recommended by the manufacture?
2. If I do top it off, doesn't GpsFrontier's statement come into play re: nutrient strength?
3. I was leaning towards that concept but I didn't have a EC meter
4. The only way I can tell if my lettuce are doing ok is by "visual" inspection. I assume green leaves is the way to go
5. Since I only have a 15 gal reservoir should I even bother with the EC/PH at all?

Sorry for so many questions....My appreciation to all of you

Aloha
