OK, so how do you get it to "trickle" instead of dripping? What allows you to adjust the flow down to a trickle? Constant trickle without ever turning it off? This irrigation hub I presume has he ability to regulate the flow down to a trickle? Well, please define trickle, if you would be so kind. One man's "trickle" might be another mans waterfall. lolBy adding Additional Oxygen, via bubbles, and nutrients to each grow cup, in a slight trickle (not a solid flow) You do not need a timer on the feeding tubes, and the cube or root base will not drown as is possible in a DRIP System.
Also, could I work this system large scale for a SOG grow?
Let's say I used a huge tub (100+ gallons), how deep does the water have to be? Or should I say, how close does the water have to be to the plants?
Also, when starting from seed, will this system be sufficient? OR would I have to start them off in another system and then transfer them over? Seems like the "trickle" would be enough, but just making sure... Can a young seedling handle that constant trickle as well?
I am trying to make sure I understand everything here... Basically this is a DWC/drip system set up. The roots will drop down into the water. The water will be oxygenated by the air pumps. And then you simply throw in a "trickle" system right dab center of the grow media at the heart of the roots? The only real difference between this and a drip system being the "trickle" instead of the "drip"... Does that sum it up?
thank you in advance sir!
