Hello all.
Currently I am growing everything mostly in organic soil but recently I picked up an active aqua ebb and flo system. I am basically testing the waters with ebb and flo buckets to see how I like them. I have years of successful RDWC experience prior to my current medium choice so hydro in no way is new to me. So far so good my ladies are as green as ever, if I can pull 4oz off a 2 gallon I will be quite happy.
I was imagining though of possibly changing everything over from soil to ebb and flo, less mess, less work, and a lot more control. I started my current venture in soil since it is so dependable for me and very low risk of having setbacks. Now I am at a turning point and thinking about coming back to hydro. My dream would be to run undercurrents but I am not willing to take a huge risk with storms and power failures and what not, shit happens! With ebb and flo I feel it will be much easier to care for them in case of such an event.
So I seek you opinions, what size ebb and flo container would you go with for an average yield of 10-12oz per plant, and having the ability to go higher of course. I average 10-12 now in soil, 20 gallon smartpots, 6-8 week veg, in a sealed and well controlled environment. Redoing everything will be expensive so I need to make sure whatever I use can match or beat my current runs.
The largest system I have found so far has 6.6 gallon containers.
