I've been keen to set one up you should keep us posted on what you do and how you get onOld noob here. Trying to set up an Ebb and Flow, 6-5 gallon buckets with hydroton, 33 gallon res.
It takes roughly 12 gallons to fill the pails accounting for the clay media.
My flood and drain time is 22 minutes 30 seconds from the start of flood until completely drained.
Will my flood/drain times drown my future girls or will I be ok?
Thanks
15-20 mins is the norm so overshooting a few shouldn’t be an issue provided they environment conditions are optimal. Check the vapor density charts and ensure you are good but my experience says you will be ok. Just ensure newest plant go to the end of the loop so it gets the least flow

What is the flow rate of your fill pump? I'm curious because I'm building a similar system. My fill pump is 150 gph into a control bucket, which has the timer and float controls. I'm using an inline pump to return the feed to the reservoir. I have a few connections left to go. I also have to install my whole house filtering system.
I thought I would already be done but life keeps getting in the way ... I plan on spending some time on it tomorrow.
Happy New Year to you
Yea it’s all about the air around the plant and it’s ability to hold water, essentially dryer would mean it needs more humidity as plants react to a very specific range for uptake and nutrient v macro nutrients all require that Goldilocks range. Be worth you reading up and seeing what your environment vs the uptake is like and Man U get the golden range, tits on the growI trying to wrap my brain around "the vapor density charts". Does it have to do with temp and humidity? I have a humidifier, dehumidifier, exhaust vent, heater and AC unit.
Thanks, I'm trying to get my ducks in a row before I germinate my seeds, so I can hit the ground running.Yea it’s all about the air around the plant and it’s ability to hold water, essentially dryer would mean it needs more humidity as plants react to a very specific range for uptake and nutrient v macro nutrients all require that Goldilocks range.

Always a good thing mate! A well executed plan begins with a well thought out plan. Cheers to thatThanks, I'm trying to get my ducks in a row before I germinate my seeds, so I can hit the ground running.
