Thanks for the kind words bro. Glad to see your here for the ride. I have some Root's Excel and KoolBloom Powder that wasn't in the pic also. (Just got them in the mail) I am looking REAL hard at Hammerhead by advanced nutes right now. I am thinking about switching out the LKB for the hammerhead. Anyone got any experience with this?

After a little engineering I got the screen up and in place. I placed the screen about 14" from the from the top of the rockwool cubes, and about 12" from the lights. I fired up the second 430 so it's go time. This thing should fill up pretty quick, we'll see.

Looks great man.. I got a question for you... Did you just pull up the plastic on the hugos and put hydroton on the top to stop the algea?
Also why do u think the RW is a pain to flush?.. You got the clearex right there!
I flush my Rw no prob..I flush them with like 100% runoff. Thats the only way theyll release everything. and depending why im flushing ill water the cubes with nutes right after so the plant doesnt flush...

Yup just pulled up the plastic, figured it would help the roots spread also. You are right I should have said ebb and flow is a pain to flush, not so much the medium ...

not a bad idea on the covers i like that! Ya ebb/flow can be a pain to flush so heres what Id do If i was you! You need to top feed them to properly flush them Im sure you know this. lol. I have a water wizard 1/4hp blue pump connected to a water wand that I can hand water with so each cube gets blasted with fresh water and yes i fill it up to where like almost 20sec of water running out the bottom and then I check my runoff with the meter and decided if there flushed or not My runoff is always the boss in this stage..
If you dont have a big pump/water wand Id just undo the hose you have feeding your table and use your existing pump and hose to hand water them it may be a bit harder for you if you have a short hose but im sure you can rig something up.... Ive had to do this on a friends setup cause they flood/drain as well and all they had was there little res pump.. BUt It worked....

Yea that's what I do now. I have a seperate hose for draining, filling, and flushing. It works out ok. I usually just drain the res. and fill it with new water add my clearex (if I use it, usually every other flush) then PH the water down to 5.5 I hit every cube until the PPM meter stops. It usually takes me an hour or so to do a good flush. I have never really recorded run off, just made a mental note but this time I am documenting everything. My nute formula I made is new so I will be documenting the PPM/EC of that as well. It seems to be right on target so far, my first week of veg was in 700 PPM range.
