Indoor Flood And Drain Advice

[Uncle Drew]

Hello,

I am new to this site and am seeking some solid advice on how to properly add nutrients to my 2 75 gallon reservoirs. I am running 4 4x4 trays under 4 1000 watt air cooled lights in a fully insulated and sheet rocked 10x12 TUFF shed with barn style roof. My grow medium is 6 inch rock wool cubes into coco matts. I have tons of outdoor growing experience, i have done some soil runs indoor but would greatly appreciate any advice for my new hydro run. Here are some pics of my setup.

Outstanding craftsmanship

Most people are not aware that RW does not break down easily after one is done and must be replaced. It must be disposed of as hazardous waste

Further RW wicks and holds the nutes. This requires a larger rez than necessary and more frequent mixing of nutes. Over time salts build up that can appear as deficiencies (actually lock up) later in the grow.

By replacing it with net pots filled with rock (I use ornamental stone) the roots can fed every hour.

Here's a couple pics of my Mini-Me F & D You should be able to adapt the elements to super charge your set up

The stones are fast draining and keep the roots cool between feedings AND are 100% reusable. Only the nutes the roots need at each feeding are taken up, the rest drain back to the rez

WOW nice work, my son and I just finished up our 12x12 grow shop, we have 2 75 gal. res, 2 4x8 tables, 4 1200 watt LED lights, and we are all legal to grow 16 plants in beautiful Oregon. So much fun creating, and now growing beautiful buds. Please post pics as they grow up.
Thanks Curt O
