Hydro ebb/flow flood schedule opinions/theories
Storm... how do u suggest getting rid of it? I could put little hoses that drain it ALL out but I would need them to be small enough that it wouldn't effect the fill of the pots... I know it almost sounds oxymoronic because I would be having a drain automatically being effective once the water enters the cup... but I think the power of the pump will pump in more water than can be drained by the little hoses...
Mathematically speaking::
The 'input into the cups and system' has to be GREATER THAN the 'flow of the small drains' because the water must flood the cups
AND
Thus, the 'Overflow water' + the 'drainage water' = 'input of water into system and cups'
obviously...
So I would have to make sure that drainage from the small tubes is very slow... any ideas? (I know that shit was kind of rhetorical but none the less, I wanted to draw a picture for those who have no idea what we're talking about)
and... thanks Turtle... if you're going to make it let me know... I modified the plans that are online and know all the little trouble points that pissed me off during the process... good luck!
