    For All Cap Ebb and Grow Users

    I too am using the Active Aqua Gro & Flo, and I put a copper screen over my drain. I am in the third week of flower and have had no issues with root clogging. I will post some pics tomorrow.

    Winter 2022/23 Gro & Flo (Ebb and Flow) Run

    Been three days since the 21st day defoliation and they are responding well. I do like the way the buds are forming, and going to spread them a bit to get more light to them. I topped off the reservoir with 6 gallons on Saturday, they are drinking well, and today will need to top off...

    Winter 2022/23 Gro & Flo (Ebb and Flow) Run

    Yes I have been using the Rainbird Emitters for years in my Coco/Perlite grows, and when my friend Rocky recomended I use a waterfall system in my buckets I knew these would work well.

    Looking forward to setting this up, after my current grow.

    Thanks, I see your point. Yes I know I will need to start flower early, and wish I had with this current grow, although it is working fairly well at this point. What size pots are you using and are you doing ebb and flow or DWC? I am considering doing this grow as an 8 top...

    Winter 2022/23 Gro & Flo (Ebb and Flow) Run

    Yesterday was a busy day, removed the plants, one at a time, and did the 21 day defoliation and Lollipop. These plants aren't tall but damn they were thick, took a packed 5 gallon bucket off the 6 plants and added it to my compost bin. My EC monitor probe died on me yesterday, ordered new...

    Besides basic NPK, what's your "secret sauce?"

    I too use Flora Micro and Bloom, liquid KoolBloom, & Bontani CalMag. Dry KoolBloom (@ 7 weeks for one rez, fill or about 2 plus weeks).

    Winter 2022/23 Gro & Flo (Ebb and Flow) Run

    Day 19 of 12/12, stretch is on but mainly the plants are getting thicker. So ready for the 21st day trim, going to take at least a couple of days to thin them out. Can't remember where I saw the post but was impressed with the trimming, very similar to my method. Trim up from the bottom...

I have switched to the Scorpion Diablo also and love the light, have not harvested yet with this light, but two weeks into flower. Did a semi defo at start of flower...

    First ever grow ever and using Ebb n flow oxygen cube reciruclating system

    Not a hater here, but you have to listen to learn. I too am on my first Ebb and Flow grow. I am using the Active Aqua Grow & Flow 5 gallon system. I grew in coco/perlite for about 10 years prior to switching to the Ebb and Flow. You may want to take a look at my journal. I am at day 15 of...

    Did the bulkhead fitting not come with gaskets? Should be one inner and one outer gaskets.

    Winter 2022/23 Gro & Flo (Ebb and Flow) Run

    Day 15 of 12/12, bud forming. Did a rez change yesterday, it had been 23 days since last change. I am using the Torus XpH Capsule model which stabilizes the pH and helps extend reservoir time, this is the first time I have let it go this long but the solution was still stable after 3 plus...

    Ebb and Flow Volumes for Res vs Medium.

    How do you plan on drain the plants? You will need to watch EC/ppm and pH carefully. Can get away from you, especially in coco.
