Not hating that just seems really high in price to me.
Oh I know your not.

and it is.

like i said, i will probably go back to H&G but i had to do the test to find out for myself. the bitch of it is, i think it's the boost that really gives it the resin drive.. so even eliminate everything else and go cheap-o General Hydro and your still in the 700$ range.

back to your point, shit is hella expensive

Veg with Ionic. Dirt cheap works great. Spend the real cash on the flowering nutes, that's where it matters.

Hey, any of you guys see the new Sentinel Ebb & Flow system. Looks pretty badass. 2.5 gallon buckets. Drain is underneath so they claim it drains completely. 3/4" tubing. Comes with a Sentinel controller and they claim it can sense leaks.

man i have been tracking this thing since before it even had a price tag on it, thing looks awesome! each site is raised up and has a drain on the bottom instead of the side. sure its going to be a great system. if i was interested in switching up i would get it in a heartbeat.

kinda pricy though. I got my cap system for like 350$ shipped. Factory refurb, but I'd rather have the refurb because they should have fixed any of the problems they had. It's been doing good for me for almost a year now.

I agree it is pricey, I got my cap system for the same shipped and it works great as well. Also they are priced at around 550 and that only includes 6 sites and no res so I would need at least 12 more sites and I would just use the cap res.

I to have been watching for a release of it! But if i upgrade to it i will just get the bucket :)
thats a good idea:) although i like the controller and sentinel is a great product i just dont know if it would be worth the extra $ just for a controller?

I hope it is nice. since titan only got in the gro-n-flo game because sentinel dropped the ball so hard earlier. I had heard (and knowing titan's normal product line) they really wanted nothing to do with this product but were basically forced into it by consumer demand.. :/

I hope the sentinel's are nice but that DIY that HR's posted earlier is probably where my money will go.

The controller bucket on it looks really efficient. Like it doesn't leave water sitting in the bottom or in the tubing. You guys are right though; $500 for the unit with no reservoir (You do get a Sentinel Controller though) and then like $125 for every 6 pot add on. I like the idea that you can put the controller anywhere; it doesn't have to be on the bucket. I'm looking into a DIY undercurrent system right now. That's where I think I'm headed.

That's what I'm working toward for early next year. Might DIY a small 4-6 site system and trial it for a while. I have everything I would need short a few air stones. The Current Culture systems are SOO expensive for some pumps and PVC. You could DIY a system for like a 1/5th of what they charge. I'm thinking 10gal. buckets with a 16gal. control bucket. I wanna do shorter distances than they advertise. No need to waste all that space.

That's gonna be a HUGE reservoir. Hope you don't plan on swimming in it too. You need to add some chemicals to a water cooling reservoir that you might not want to be bathing in. :-P
