Even the drain hole is in a better location for more drainage

You do have to raise the pots with a 2x6. Few pics: refreshing the grow room. Have 2 600s cool tubes I'm going to put on the the walls. Just haven't figured the best way to vent them.Attachments
Hi there guys,I just set up an DIY ebb and drain table based on wat i've read.There is only one draining hole because the water goes through the pipes to flood the table,not a traditional ebb n flow style for this set up.I'll take pictures soon,this time is my first grow by soil and hydroponic !! Hope to be helped,peace my friends

Bucket are wider an shorter. then reg 5 gallon buckets. I'll check to see if they fit.
They fit perfect! Nice an tight. But don't go all the way down.

That's my dream set up! 12k on flap box with 12 4x8 tables (6 in each flowering room) drip with drain to waste.

PROBLEM: My drain pump gets vapor locked or something. It's running but not pumping anything. I replaced the pump, but it's still doing it. I replaced the hose that the pump is connected to, but it's still doing it. This morning I chopped about 2 ft off the end of the hose. It's now about 5ft long and as short as I can make it.
I'm at my wits end here. Ive run this system for at last 3 years. The new pump is a Supreme Hydroponics 300ph sump pump. Doesn't seem as reliable as the old pump. Fingers crossed it's working when I get home.

I have had this happen, but usually resolves if I unplug the pump for 30 sec and re-plug it in.
Good luck with this!

Yes, I've had intermittent problem with it over the years and yes that usually fixes it. Not this time. Every time I go in there lately its fookin fooked. Of course I masturbate the floats until it start draining. It's still fooked a few hours later.

Is your pump stuck on the side of the controller or on the bottom? Change positions. Have you took apart and cleaned it? Un hook your lines and make sure no hydro stone or any thing is in there.
i had similar problems with the fill pump. But you replaced the pump

Has everyone heard Hydro Farm bought C.A.P? I guess now hydro farms is getting rid of the ebb monster and a bunch of other c.a.p products. So if any one needs to warranty their controller they better act soon.

It may not be "vapor" locking. It's likely because the pump needs to be "primed" before it will operate properly. You may have an air bubble trapped in the pump and the impeller cannot gain "traction" becaue there is no liquid around the impeller to get it started. Fix is easy. When flood cycle drain process begins and the pump is spinning but not pumping, simply reach into liquid and turn the pump over to allow the air bubble to escape. You'll notice when it starts pumping. Return the pump to upright position and place in position. Leave it alone after this until next rez change when you'll need to "burp" or "prime" the pump again. One air bubble in the pump can render it useless.
Please don't ask me how I know this ...

I am using Dyna-gro Foliage Pro 9-3-6 and wow! Love that stuff and so do my plants! What would you use during bloom? Just continue on with that, or use a blossom booster?
I spent 2 1/2 hours washing new hydroton today.Thank god I had some very effective molasses cookies
I still havent figured out my layout so the ebb and grow is as yet unassembled. Tomorrow. I have so much material begging to be put in there! And new beans coming! I'll be starting a new journal soon with the ebb and grow. I'm looking forward to saying farewell to perlite.
Get a spare plastic barrel and cut the top off it. Dump all your new hydration into it and fill the barrel half way up with water, mix it all up and let the grit settle, then use a strainer to scoop your clean hydroton out of the bucket.
