Flood frequency and duration in LIGHT: Flood to depth of 4" every 3 hours, takes 90 seconds to fill, about 2 minutes to drain.
Flood frequency and duration DARK: same
Grow medium:hydroton, switching to coco this week, so may change flood freq
Hydroponic system:custom
Wattage of light:600hps, 6x24"T5ho veg
grow pot size:6x6x7 square, 4" flood vents
reservoir size in gallons: aprox 25 gallon
number of plants:4-6
Veg and flower time:4 veg 9-12 flower
Strain type.....max yielder? nute-burn sensitive? white widow, unknown yield, have not burned a single leaf yet
Extra air-circulation to root zone? fans directed at root zone? 6" inline ac duct fan sucking ac directly to flood table, duct partially sits across flood table further chilling water
Co2 usage? no but I really like that dry ice idea I just saw earlier.


I have played, let's call it for what it is, wasted all kinds of money on all sorts of hydro concepts. For some reason the idea of spending 400 dollars on a pre built systems was too ludicrous, but for some reason ill go on the hook for well over 2k from HD and Lowes. Ebb and flow was by far the most effective, simplest and straight forward design of all the systems I played with. I tried high pressure aero, low pressure aero, foggers and bubbleponic systems. I still clone in bubblers, but for anything other then cloning, the rest of the systems are either too complicated, not every effective or have such critical flaws as to seriously hinder your ability to even grow. E&B seems simple and easy, but there is some very powerful magic that happens in those grow rocks as the heat evaporates that water. E&B also tolerates higher temps usually in the mid 80's when other systems will shut down above 75.
