I run a large air pump runing x4 air stones in the res and it look like a hot tub in there.
the more air in the res the better. and your plants will thank you!

WHOOPS....I forgot to plug in my reservoir pump after a cleaning/refill session yesterday. The plants (in hydroton) will end up going 28 hours without a flood, and I am happy to report that they still look ok. They are on day 48 of 12/12. Just FYI.

I think I am going to turn the water off the day before I cut down, and give them another 24 hours of dryness. I want to get that abscisic acid crankin for every last ounce of production and maturity!

its my 1st grow in hydro and so far its been great knock on wood lol. no leaks and the timer has worked like a charm, i guess titan makes pretty good timers from what others have said. when i bought the flo n gro the guy at the store has the cap ebb n gro and was goin to get the flo n gro as he likes everything that they changed on it with the bigger buckets and the 360 mesh inserts. you can youtube flo n gro and they show u how to put it together but i havent seen any grows with it, i might be the 1st idiot to buy it lol( i hope not)

Well, if you knock it out of the park on your first grow with it, that would make you one smart idiot. :D

I'm hanging up my ebb and gro for good. I was going to flower my current mothers in it, but I just can't get psyched for the tubes and buckets everywhere. I've been much more productive with smaller plants and flood tables. The maintenance is way, way less too. Not dissing it, there are some folks who can really make it work. I guess I'm just not in to big plants anymore. I'm pissed at how big my mothers got using the CAP inner buckets on a flood table. lol. I'm going to take another big sweep of cuttings from them and then trash them.

yep im using bleach and H202

is that 5ml? a gal
yea,8 drops worked out to almost 5ml ! whoa! a typo could really fuck someone up with bleach,no? so it wiped out every thing in the root zone,then i flushed,saved 17 out of 24 clones,now i run it with 20ml/gal h2o2 3%, i read that when h2o2 combines with boron in the nutes,it becomes,borox,which is of coarse, bleach. i am also using 3gal buckets,6in net pots, with airstones in the bottom,as well as in the res, they seem to bush out quit well,here's one at 3 weeks,under cfl's bush1.jpg

So I am in the process of making my own buckets using a 3.5 Gal from uline since I fear the 2 Gal just won't cut it for a 4-5ft plant. I vegged a bit too long and too wide LOL. I originally only planned on having 16 plants in a 4x4 with 1x1000W but now moving them to a 4x8 with 2x1000w to handle the size and spread.

Any pointers for those that made their own buckets and connectors?

I think 2 gal would be fine for a 4footer your just going to have to up the flood cycle, but a 3.5 would be better. where you geting those 3.5?
