    Water Level Monitoring/Checking Method

    Wow those are really good ideas guys! And Zem for the record, that wasn't what I was thinking, a floating level way to mark the level, that's your idea! Brilliant! But ok I'll take credit! Hydroscience: Thanks for that, I will think about it and see what to come up with. I can't use the bulkhead...

    Is this all I need for EBB & FLOW?

    hmm, let's see I am no expert new to grow myself, but I think i can answer some of your questions... The location is not important for the valves, I tend to like the middle, but thats if your tray is sloped for a mid drain, some are - kinda nice. Mine is not sloped, drain is an one side of the...

    Using a Car Wash Sponge as a growing medium ?

    Yea I am looking at using some alternative mediums as well for grow ( I'm an experimenter)! That sponge looks nice and soft, however the cell spacing may be an issue for rooting but not bad and quite possible IMO. Hey it busts right thru Rockwool cubes easily, although sometimes thru RW roots...

    Water Level Monitoring/Checking Method

    Does Anyone have a good way to monitor check the h2o level at a glance? I like the flow tube method, but right now that would be hard to implement since its an active grow, 2 rez's (one month apart)! Even with the tube check method, have to have some way to mark the level (tap or marker?) as...

    Is this all I need for EBB & FLOW?

    Thats all you need, just drill out the holes with proper bit size and plug the fill drain valve in, add your pump hose and pump, then add the overflow valve to the other hole in the tray.

    First Large Scale Grow - Perpetual Garden aiming to yield 1 lb per week

    I dunno to me a 1week cycle is a nightmare logistically... I am looking at a one month cycle. This to me simplifies the process, harvest, dry, cure, clones, veg etc...You may go insane on that schedule! Not sure if you are a seasoned pro at this or not. I not (like me) I would suggest starting...
