After the cuttings have roots and there ready to be placed into ebb n flow system, should I use pots filled with Hydroton or something else?

What size pots would should I buy if going straight from cloner to flower? SOG style.

How often would you flood this system?

What size res do I need to support a 4x4 tray?

Lastly what a good bag appeal strain under 10 week flowering?

Anything else concerning the setup would be nice.

Thanks

You could also use rockwool as a medium. They have blocks of rockwoll that fit perfectly into sqaure pots for convience. For sog growing your better off using sqaure pots because you can fit more, round pots leave open space when you put the close together.

Personally i wouldnt go directly from clone to flower in this type of system. I would let the clones veg for a week and let roots get established. Plants spend alot energy on root growth during veg then they do during flower, and your yield will show.


Flood times are all dependent on your medium, temperatures, and plant size. For my rockwool plants during flower i flood 2 times a day at 7 minute intervals. For my hydroton garden i flood 4 times a day for 15 minutes each time. Your going to have to play around with your system and find your own sweet spot.


I would go for a 25 gallon res or bigger. The bigger the res, the more stable the ph and ppm.
