8x4 Flood Tables And Fabric Pots

[DieselDuds]

Ok so this is my idea, (2) 8x4 Flood Trays and 50ish 3gal Fabric pots with pro mix or happy frog . Im planning on doing a 30-40 gallon resevoir to mix my nutes and have water lines on an on/off valve feeding the plants. no drip system, just when the plants get dry i can mix up my nutes and feed the plants, drain the runoff using the tray sytem. good idea or ?

Have you thought of doing a bed instead of the pots?
You can get liners for the trays. Probably cost less also.

I didn't think about that at all , a bed of soil or the little clay balls? I forgot the name .

I was totally unaware of this liner till now. I look at it and say hmmmm that's a good idea! My thought as well is, if I put let's say 25-3 cuttings into it and veg for 2 weeks then flower them I would tend to think that there roots will intertwine with each other and get a little bound up . I think the 3 gal smart pots may be a little more $$ but in the end they will make a stronger root system for the plant and have more air ability. ???

Some really nice bed grows are crushing it. You can even reuse some beds by cutting out a little rootball, adding a root munching enzyme, giving it a few weeks, then replant new clones and go. Build your beds on wheels. Roll em in and out. I'm considering it's feasibility in my own space.

Best of luck.

How do you evenly saturate such a huge slab of dirt? And your talking about the tray liner system correct. Not the fabric pots?

And what kind of enzymes we talking here?

Yes bed liners not pots.Just evenly water the bed the roots will find the water.

Hygrozyme is what most use,im sure theres others too.I dont even wait after using it to plant,in fact i use it along with my regular feedings weekly or biweekly.
