I did ebb n flow for decades. It works great but you lose a little height. Dwc seems like it would be less forgiving in a power outage.There are several ways, I've tried about all of them.
1 DWC or RDWC
2 Drip feed
3 ebb and flow aka flood and drain
4 timed waterings eg hour on hour off
5 fogponics
6 "kratkey" aka letting them sit in water.
The only one of these I haven't tried is fogponics. They all have their advantages and disadvantages. But I find doing any of them right, contained in a small tent is not really possible. With the exception of DWC/RDWC of course.
I find that the only real way to get the control I want in a small tent is to hand water. But maybe that's just me
I'm sure it would be lol. I've only done ebb and flow with 8ft ceilings. Where do you put your reservoir?I did ebb n flow for decades. It works great but you lose a little height. Dwc seems like it would be less forgiving in a power outage.
I had a low profile 20g under the plants. Only had about 2.5'-3' for plants. Pain in the ass changing res and washing the geolite pebbles.
Yeah I want to stick to soil for now.If you want to stick to soil blumat’s are hard to beat.
5 gal should be 1 feed. I thought you were going to quit overwatering. Gl kidThat's awesome. That's probably what I am going to aim to do...
One issue/question that came up last night...
Pre-mixing my Watering Solution. I have been using a 5gal drum and been premixing 5 gallons at a time and it lasts 2 feeds... Is it okay to store water solution that has nutrients added? It seemed like it was almost starting to ferment....
Or do you mix up a fresh batch every time you get ready to water?
If you're in soil and this is for occasions when you're going to be away from home for a week or two at a stretch, Blumats are great. Easy to set up.
Play with them before you leave, and I'd go with the long ones rather than the shorter ones.
Im not overwatering. Stop being a douchebag. Im 33 years old.5 gal should be 1 feed. I thought you were going to quit overwatering. Gl kid
