Those growrocks will hold quite a bit of water, even with the large spaces in between them. Try this for yourself, fill a pot with wet growrocks, and let it sit for a day or two, then dump it and check the rocks for wetness.

That system did not look like what I know to be an ebb and flow system. It looks like the plants float on the water. My ebb and flow system floods a tray once every so often, then drains, the plants sit on the bottom of the tray. Am I wrong? If so, please let me know what kind of system I am using.
The pix is of a ebb&flood system.It has a cover that the net pots hang in.Your tray is like mine but I have a cover and 5"pots hanging down in the tray.You might want to add some hydoton {clay balls}to your tray,about 1 or 2"inches so went the roots come out the bottom of the cubes they will be covered from the light.PEACE

Check out my closet. It actually has both of your systems. The top is ebb n flow like Chabnock's over there, and the bottom veg. chamber is like Kush's. I think. I need a better pic. Whenever you do get some pix, hook us up.

I just got these pieces of coco sheets today, that I placed under my plants for the roots to grow into, thanks for the info. Here is the journal I have. Any help you guys have for me would be greatly appreciated. But please I have tender feelings about this babies, please read the thread before telling me what I am doing wrong. I am still fixing things to make it better. This is only my second grow, first time with this new system and flowering room.
