Kind of a circular firing squad there....
I'm just hoping the adults don't separate us. I'm liking how my grow is shaping up!

Drain to waste is just so easy with coco. Floraflex makes some good products. I got an entire old school ebb and flow system with the blue buckets and titan controllers. Never used it and probably never will.
What kind of yield are you getting with that set up?

I only had room for four 3'x2' trays under 1600 watts of HPS, plus a tiny tent in the corner for 8 moms and an aero cloner below. Average yield was about 11 oz. every 2 weeks. Such a great little perpetual sog, I made about 100k per year off that room. Of course, that's before medical then rec came to Illinois. I sold all of it to a small collective of musicians and DJs anywhere from $350 to $480 per ounce. I spent a lot of it on fun shit, but managed to save a good deal of it, as well. Just bought my house all cash (that grow room was in a tiny apartment), and had a pro electrician wire up one of the bedrooms with an 8000 watt capacity for $3200. I'd never be able to fit enough lights in there to use all that power, maybe half that in the summer. But it's nice not to have to run cords from all over the house this time
Of course ounces only go from $120-$200 now. Glad I could take advantage of the gold rush while it lasted...Really cool, thanks for sharing!I only had room for four 3'x2' trays under 1600 watts of HPS, plus a tiny tent in the corner for 8 moms and an aero cloner below.

I have a top feed drain to reservoir (recirc) system using hydroton and air pots. I change my reservoir every 10-14 days depending. I tend to be more diligent with this in flower.
I top with well water daily and when the EC has dropped by 50%, I will add back nutes at 75%.

Im at least number 5
I ran flood and drain for over 10 years and always loved itLow maintenance, and it produced some of the best weed I’ve smoked in my life.
I don’t have a system running right now, but I’m working on a plan for an new room and it’s hard not to want to set up another similar f/d system to what I had.

I used a concrete mixing tub as my table and a storage tupperware for my reservoir for my first grow. Used the 3 part GH flora which was a little confusing as I was unsure if I should dump it out and refresh every week. What do you think I should have done? The seeds were strawberry cough bag seeds from my buddy's parents and I thought the flower came out pretty good but I'm sure I can do better this next run with some better genetics.

I usually do a new res every one to two weeks depending on how busy I am, what stage of flower I am in, and how many/how big the plants are. I run a 27 gal res, a smaller res would need more frequent attention. I also scrub my res every week with some white vinegar to prevent salt build up.
6 plants in 4in rockwool don't need a new 27 gal res every week. Anything over 12 plants, once a week is preferable imo.
