So I read about a hybrid system in maximum yield last month about essentially adding airstones to a bucket based ebb and flow system and maintaining higher water levels in the buckets.
So essentially, I have a four gallon bucket filled with hydroton that sits inside another 4 gallon bucket that is connected to my water system. There is a space of about 2-3" between the buckets that the roots grow into.
This space, and probably the bottom 1" of the hydroton bucket will be filled with nutrient water with a single 4" airstone. The water will get swapped out every 4 hours with the ebb/flow cycle.
Anything to watch out for? My temps should be good. Do people run lower PPM in DWC?
Thanks for any advice.
