Some set-ups would require more frequent floods than others. Some strains may benefit from more or less frequent floods. Root space, aeration and air-flow, use of C02, strength of nutes, grow medium type, these are all things that determine best flood schedule. I want everyone to give their opinion on this. Tell us YOUR success you're having, your grow medium, your flood schedule dark and light. I use Hydroton, Rating: 5
