Ebb N Flow watering times?? please help!

dam.. cant get any love from anyone.... i think im doing the right thing here... at least let me know if im not... 1st nite my babies been in darkness and wont eat for 12 hours... theyve never gone more then 4 or 5

I have 2- 4x4 tables I flood 4 times during the light cycle. Once right after they come on, once right before they go out, and equal times between the other two foods. I do not flood at night. I am new to the hydro thing, but this schedule has worked so far, and was suggested by a close, great grower himself, friend.....

cool... ur input appreciated bro!

so I just checked, It's flood @ 7pm "lights on", again @ 11pm, again @ 3am, and then 6:45am, just before lights out.

Good luck!

hmm interestin i would have to know what kind of medium you are using ...makes a big diff onhowmany
times to water cycle

i feed once in the beginin of my light cycle ....i use pure coir tho and wish i could cycle more times but my medium stays nice and wet throughout ....

somethin like hydroton tho would definetly need like 5 per day i would say

I'm growing in 2x4 tables with naked clones in hydroton.
I flood 3 times per lights on for 12 minutes. I find this is the perfect amount of time for my plants.


They are pretty effin happy if you ask me.

hey so u use straight hydroton huh ...i have bucket systems that are unmatched in growth compared to the coir ....i have 2 4x4 trays and never tryed straight hydroton ..would like to tho cause seems like you can reuse it a couple times right ?

im using hydroton... have a 14 gallon res.. 3 plants in my tray. was watering 6 times a day.(every 4 hours) right now i have my lights coming on about 8:30am. at 8:45 they flood for 20 mins... lights go out at 8:30 and flood there last time at about 8:00 for 20 mins... as of right now i have them flooding once more in the middle of that timne period... should this be ok or should i feed em 4 times a day? or just play it by ear... thanks a million
