Hey. Rollitup..I have been growing organically for years. And I need help with a ebb flow system..

[Dr.Loud]

I want to try an ebb flow 20 site. But without buying a control bucket. Can I get any help on how the make a good myself? Like which timers and pumps would work best..

Got any pics of your current set-up?
And that is a Welcome to RIU from me

No control bucket? Then you need to elevate the buckets off the ground, above the res and have a return line for the solution.

There are ways to make your own bucket by purchasing around 100 dollars in materials. Ive made around 8 total with no issues. If you are interested please let me know and i can send full instructions

Elevating the buckets will not result in a properly functioning system. If you want to avoid usong a controller bucket you will need a flood table high enough to place a resovoir underneath it to allow gravity to drain the table for you. Then a pump and overflow valve will do the rest

You can also run an elevated drip system. I do that in ebb and flow buckets in a big tray. That's for my veg room. Then they just get moved to the flowering rooms, where actual ebb and flow systems with controllers are. Works great.

Ebb and flows are simple.
