hey easy what size top feed pump are you using? my first mpb run I was using the 10inch mesh on the bottom inch or so of the pot and had the same draining problem. Now that im on my second run I now understand why DD uses the 6inch rockwool and does not fill the bucket up all the way with hydroton. I switched to the 10 litre bucket added hydroton to the water level in the mini res and than 1.5 inches on top of that sat the 6inch rockwool on top of that and now no flow problem at all, I even hooked my 1200gph pump back up and the flow is fine. Those pots full of hydroton and roots are the problem, I think getting the roots into the mini res as fast as possible instead of in a pot full of hydroton is better imo. what do you think? My first run I went cheap with the home depot tubs and less labor on getting mesh pots instead of the buckets DD uses and drilling the holes but later found out the hard way, the hd tubs require a lot of gallons and the mesh full of hydroton dont drain well. From now on Im going to try and minic DD to the T cause his system is truly tested and I was just experimenting with a FELONY, not cool.
