Hay TH wazz cracking bro, U bet I get great drainage, u need to use 1/2 plywood so u get some flex, when u fill them with soil and water they will bow about 3 to 4 inches, and the water goes right to the drain and out the bottom, and the only time I get runoff is when I flush, I only feed/water enough to keep the beds wet/moist, If u water till runoff every time in my beds it takes them to long to dry out, plus it saves on nutes, I will only feed/water my 5X10 bed 20 to 30 gal at a time, and I get most all the water out of the beds when I flush, I dont know how much I get back cause I have a drain in my floor and my beds are piped to the drain, how sweet is that :cool0044:, and when I flush I will use 200 gal of water at a time, and it comes gushing out of the drain.......GM
What's up bro. I feed my 4x4 beds 20 gallons every time. I feed once a week. I give them 10 gallons of my ozone purified nor cal creek water then give them 10 gallons of water with fertilizer.
This was a fresh batch I put in so it takes a watering before the water cycle finds a rhythm since the roots got to get established in the beds and suck it dry and get going rinse and repeat...I treat mine like a hydro res kinda..the first 10 gallons is a 'flush' and the second 10 gallons is like a top up and theres hella run off due to the bottom being all fabric so i know i just got hella o2 exchange in my root zone.
I'm thankful for the OG bad asses who taught me how to grow and trusted me with taking their knowledge in to the future. Thank you.
I know you're a huge fan of black gold...made by the same out fit as sunshine mix #4...one of the best growers I know around here uses black gold in his beds indoor and out door and has some of the best results, I'm thinking of trying some out...what do you like about it and how consistent is it from pallet to pallet in your experience?
