Ebb and Flow transplanting
My wife suggested that idea to me and I pretty much laughed at her.
I'm thinking maybe it would be best if I created 2 tables, one veg, one flower, about 6" deep. I will likely only water to about 4" but cover the entire 6" with hydroton anyway. Both tables will look like that, just one massive hydroton bed. As I was unsure about the roots, much clearer on the concept now, I will likely need to use much bigger pots or even bags. I'll be checking into these bags I keep seeing that look like they will allow water to pass yet can be molded to any shape? I dont know, but I see now that the idea behind the flood table is to keep the roots inside the pot, IF I want to be able to move them from one room to another.
Can we assume the following: I want an indoor veg with perhaps 3/4 mothers and the ability to also keep perhaps 5 clones all in the same veg room and table. Then when the flower room is ready, move the 5 clones out to the other table and simply slap jam them into the bed with them already being inside their pot. My only concern is whether or not I would need to transplant or whether I can start in a 4" pot and finish in a 4" pot, with ultimate height of say 24". I have been reading a lot from Lucas and he suggests that you grow many small plants instead of a few large ones. Now I know this complicates legal issues, but maybe I would be better off with like 10, 12 to 18" plants instead of 5 x 24 to 36" plants. So what size pots would I use to grow start to finish in and what size pots should I keep my mothers in if I want to be able to take 5 clippings or perhaps 10 clippings.
On the mothers: I'm not totally sure on this, but I think I would be better off and try and replace the mothers every few grows so that they don't get too big and out grow the space I have allotted for them.Prodaytrader Reviewed by Prodaytrader on . Ebb and Flow transplanting I am in the process of converting my original grow tub from a DWC to a ebb and flow. I'm concerned about the logistical plan I had when it comes to the media and transplanting. I have a small cloner that you can see below. Whatever I end up doing for this box to make it work, I will do for another box which is 5x bigger then this one for the flower box. I figured I could practice the design on the little one and simply do bigger for the flower box. I am converting this box to an ebb and Rating: 5
