Gypsy those are some awfully big totes you gotta use, are you gonna get that stuff on wheels so you can roll it around. If you plan on growing trees hydro you should look into growing with Krusty Buckets.

"Krusty quoted yields of 3.5 lbs per 1,000 watt light. he had 10 x 1000 watters, but ONLY 12 PLANTS! He got 30-odd lbs from 10 kw (roughly 15.5 kg) in 10 weeks"

explains it pretty well here

Hi VS...

The blue pot is 19 gallons.. and it just lifts off of the tray for clean up... just like a pot...;-)

The res is a 50 gallon tote, as is the one I am using as a tray...

40 gallons of solution should be stable enough to please my laziness...

All my res. in the SOG are 100 gallons capacity...

I like a big res.. nice and stable..:lol:

are you gonna get that stuff on wheels so you can roll it around.

Waaait...

Wheels???? roll it around?

I'm confused... :confused: I can't think of a single reason to have wheels...

Can you enlighten me ..:razz:

Are they good?

I know Ebb/Flow... so I decided to stick with something I am comfortable with...

Why would you choose a Krusty Buckets over Ebb/Flow?

I am not that familiar with the benefits ...

Thanks!:hump:

:joint::peace:

You won't need wheels now but if you want to move from veg room to flower room its nice to be able to roll your big plants around lol. The Krusty Bucket is like what your dong except the only difference is in the reservoir, for the plant you only have 3" of liquid and you have a air compressor pumping mass amounts of air into the root zone, and the krusty bucket only requires 5 gallon bucket to grow those giant plants. Id read through the links I posted though, they explain it alot better and show pictures.

She is vegging in the room she will flower in... so I will not need to move her...

And in the future, it will be easy enough to pick up the pot and move her... hydroton is light...:-P

I did..

I just don't understand why you would prefer that...

I was hoping you would tell me...

I do not know the benefits behind your suggestion...:-P

Thanks Bro! :clap:

Just mentioning it because it gives the biggest yield and fastest growth for growing trees in hydro, but what your doing will work fine, think of it as your system on steroids.

It kinda looks like a shallow water bubbleponic system to me.... How would that perform any better than a regular DWC system?

Does he grow plants as big as M Blaze? He doesn't use a Krusty bucket I don't think. You can grow monster plants in any medium

Of course you can, I was just pointing out that Krusty Buckets are top when dialed in for monster plants. I personally would rather just grow in sunshine or coco and not worry about equipment going bust, but that is just me.

Heres a kfb and dwc Grand daddy purp grow

I see...

and I appreciate your input...

Honestly I am going to stick to the ebb flow idea...

It should give me what I want in a simplicity I am familiar with...

If flooding hydroton can give me 3/4 to 1 oz in a 5"pot, from a zero veg clone, I really want to see what a 19 gallon pot will do...:-P

I do not...

A fine tubed DWC op will rival the explosive growth of Aero...

add a res and the recirculating factor and and you have just removed some of the common issues with DWC...

Most DWC users do not add a separate res and circulated the solution...

And also the mix of shallow DWC with a kick ass air pump/compresssor will replicate aero conditions pretty close...

Thanks for the indo VS...

I will keep informing myself...

But I am so lazy I doubt I will want to deal with multiple buckets and hoses and cleaning all that...

E/F may not be the most preoductive system in the world...:-P

But I do believe it is the top on user-friendliness and compatibility with lazy stoners....:eyesmoke::o:clap:

Cheers Bro...!!!:joint::peace:
