I have a few different systems I mess with, just to see the results of each, including soil/soiless.. but anyways I just got a new ebb and flow system.. consisting of a 6" x 6" x 42" baffle.. thats holds 5, 5" net pots, and comes with a 5 gallon res, although im throwing my 20 gallon res under it for better consistency in the nutrients.. so my question is.. Ive never worked an ebb & flow before.. I know that there are several different feeding timings etc..
the manufacturer says to run the pump on a 30 on/ 30 off cycle 24/7.. which i dont have a problem with... hell, for all i care, it can run 24/7 on all the time.... Im gonna be using Hydroton in the pots.. so draining will not be an issue... as Im so sick now that I cant work anymore, Im home all the time, for now anyways till Sept... and the grow room is right next to my bedroom, in the basement, adjacent fro where i sit anyways watching tv etc... so I can be there basically all the tie to keep my eyes on it...
Id like to get some opinions on a good feeding schedule etc.. or how to time my sump pump to be more specific...I know about nutrients etc, I know a decent amount about the plant itself, but I nevr worked in a basement before, with hydro.. I grew up in Houston TX, so i just threw the seeds from my mexi weed in the dirt n that was that LOL...
