yeah I cut with 40% perlite
I have been looking at that too with the autos I got now. How cheap could I build a flood and drain for the 2 autos, and would I have to remove them from the fabric grow bags? I need to see a system set up diagram so I can visualize how to build one. I am sorry I refuse to buy.. Call it the man in me, but I like the challenge of building something...no....strait coco is fine to.....even with "all the water" still holds 25% oxygen....you could flood and drain in coco...which many people do...3x a day
Midwestjay, You haven't steered me wrong yet and I have deff met a few good farmers... But I want that system I posted. That is bad ass! But that is what great about this site, there is info for whatever you need. Excellent site and excellent neighbors... Well I got work early....Wisher really knows his shit. I'd take his recommendations and run with em. he's got the proof to back up his info. He's got me wanting to try coco
You can build your own For 1/4 the priceThis one has the water cooler built in.. I love it. I need all the buckets turned the other way to fit in my tent tho but other than that, I love it! This is my goal guys. This is where I want to get too!

Found one on ebay for what???? $ 999.99..... Wow. you got to be able to build this same system for 1/4th of that.
That is exactly what I was thinking. I will be scavenging for some materials for the build over the next few weeks.You can build your own For 1/4 the price
So when I kind a goofed up hand watering my rockwool, I knew I needed to come up with a different way. Hell I work to much to be hand watering 1" rockwool cubes. I had read about these flood and drain systems before. You seen the pic of the rdwc system I want to run during flower. But for veg, and newly rooted clones, this is cheap to build, and would fit in a lil veg tent and I could take the rockwool from the flood and drain and transfer it straight to rdwc when ready. I see my system and plans coming together. I appreciate all the help!flood and drain is super easy
4 8'2x2's
1 2x4 flood and drain pan low pro
1 27 gal tote from HD
1 185 gph pump
1 f&d fittings pack
you can keep the fabric bags....perfectly fine....although....they like to hold and build up salts
so....you would have to flush like every 3 weeks or so
after that....stick with plastic square pots
you can run small pots and still grow huge trees

Its CALiMAGic by general hydroponics. And it recommends 3 ml to every gallonalso.....what calmg are you running?
if botanicare....3ml per gal is the spot
Got you! 5.9 last time, was aiming for 5.8. Thought 5.8 was my target. 6.0..... Tomm night I am gonna flush, and add just my root enhancer and my 3 part GH nutes for mild veg. and see where that puts me on the ppm scale. I would think that ppl would already know the ppm of a bottle suggested mixture, minus in ppm from water source. I buy distilled water sp it never has over 2 ppm from start.well.....I dont believe in the superthrive
but for those little seedlings I believe they should be riding around 1.0 e.c. .....since they are in coco it is a real easy fix......flush with the right e.c. which means you can water 3x the volume of water to container with the correct nute amount....
remember....most important.....ph 5.8-6.3 with 6.0 (IMO) the best for coco
Really 500ppm that small? I was off . That would roast one of my babies. I didn't realize you could go so much higher in co cowell.....I dont believe in the superthrive

Believe it or not, my delicious candy had the hella light green going on too, and I only gave her the superthrive, root enhancer, and 2 ml calmag. So it has to have been one of them 3 nutes, that has to of caused the light green, and to me It seems, good new growth. I'm freaking ecstatic that I didn't burn them up on their first feeding,,, I know that.well.....I dont believe in the superthrive
