Are these the same pots as the ones in the ebb and gro system? I think those are 2gal? That's what I'm vegging with on the 3x3

These are different, pretty much the same pots as the ebb n grow pots but these are just smaller, it's easier for me to fit more plants on the veg tray and then I just transfer them to the ebb buckets. I suspend these pots over the ebb buckets

So you don't use the 2 gal inserts they provide with the kit and just use 1 gal instead? Do you use the Styrofoam then to hold the 1 gal in place over the bucket?

You got it, well I do leave the 2 gallon inner pot in the ebb buckets, but I hold the 1 gallon so it's hanging suspended in the ebb bucket with the foam board. Works good, less hydroton to deal with, easier to veg more plants in the trays, just alot of benefits really. I can also flood more often as well

That's the one, 6" - they are about the same size as 1 gallon nursery pots but the actual volume is probably less, 2 full pots of hydroton with the 6" will fill the 2 gallon ebb buckets

I got some similar stuff building up on the edges of my table. I think it's just hydroton particles.

low 70's but i think it was algae the water was green as shit when i drained it .
I ordered some ridomil just to be sure to get rid of everything in res.
Will be doing a res swap every three to four days with a bath of straight tap water for the girls .
Also thinking of doing something like four days ridomil, bath, 4 day pool shock,bath, 4days tap water, 4 days pond zyme hydroguard ,repeat
Als what kind of pool shock is good to use with hydroponic ?
I cant seem to find hth POOL SHOCK anywhere BUT ONLINE and what indgredients should i be watching out for ?

I get some green around the feeder and top off valve which is mainly because a small amount of water gets trapped in the nooks and crannies and sits around there. No biggie

So check this out.
Im getting condensation at the bottom of my tent that travels up the sidewalls later on. I checked all my connections and cooler for leaks and didnt find any. Im in a basement with a cool unfinished concrete floor and my tent gets up to 80 by the plants. The bottom of the tents gets damp and then small puddles start to form after a day.
Any ideas?
