Flood frequency and duration in LIGHT:ever 4 hrs, takes 90 sec to fill and stays there for 2 min the drains, takes another 90 sec.
Flood frequency and duration DARK: every 3 hrs.. same as above
Grow medium:
HYdroponic system: Ebb & Flow
Wattage of light: 2 X 1000 Wt 2700K
grow pot size:about 2.5 gal i think
reservoir size in gallons: 55 gal
number of plants: right now only 9 in hydro in flowering.This system has been said to allow up to 48 BUT yet to try.
Veg and flower time: too long in veg, shooting for 9 weeks might take some sooner, can't force them.
Strain type.....? Finally got strains.. BellaDonna, BigBud, AK, and one from seed that has done AMAZING.
Extra air-circulation to root zone? 2 fans, one for lights and channeld out, the other for canopy and underneath. Had a airstone in control tank, but was informed that it doesn't difuse the O2 small enough.. any thoughts on this.. ????
This is my first Hydro grow/flower, I've been growing for about 2 years and am now just expeirmenting with Hydro. LOVE IT. My clones are set up as this:
1 5 gal bucket
10 holes in top with 2" net pot, 2" neoprene stopper with slit in it for clone to sit. Inside the bucket there's a pump with a rainbow 360 deg. sprayer and it gets all the exposed area on the lid. After just days I've got a 2cm root , I'll have to post pics, this thing is crazy.
ONe LOVe !
dbud1369 Reviewed by dbud1369 on . Ebb and flow flood schedule conflict of opinions Ok Ok, there are many factors that affect the best flood and drain schedule. 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
