Hey all!
I have some ebb flow table and have some questions.
- Should I be using netted puts with hydrotron pellets inside? The guy at the hydro store says he does this with bricks ontop and it keeps his plants up. I like the flexibility of being able to move the pots around the table.
- I find that flooding can be done 3 times a day or 6 times a day and the plants don't mind either way. I have males that I pulled out (pre-flower) and it's been 2 days and they still aren't that wilted being out of the table. Here's the question: If I move to 3 times a day vs. 6, will my PH rise up slower?
- On a couple of plants i'm getting algea on the roots. I have not covered the table because some people said that they don't bother and the algea is harmless. I'm afraid of root rot and losing my crop. Should I be covering the table?
- Should I be adding H202 to the res? I heard that this is should be used for flood tables and DWC to prevent root rot.
- I do have small puddles at the bottom of the flood table that the roots are spilling into. I'm currently using closed 4" square pots and the plants are a foot tall. The veg tables are rubber made containters with lids upside down and works well except for that one problem.
Thanks,
