it says it right in the title. Waste.

beyond waste (of nutrient and water), your throwing away your best resource for knowing whats going on in your root zone. and you lose pH swing.

imo dtw is one of the worst decisions a hydro grower can make.

MAYBE if its your first run and "arnt into learning and stuff". i would recommend dtw.

Slick!

Alright, details please :) how often you watering and how far up the slab do you water? those look like botanicare tables.

did you ever post your home-made nute profile? i realize you are using a commercial brand, but was curious the ratios on your own mix :)

thank you again!

It depends on what i am watering. But on average every 2-3 weeks.

Watering with the slabs is tricky. Initially its the first 2 days in order to make sure they are fully soaked. After that it starts at every 4 days and goes all the way to once per day if your roots can fill them. I flood the whole table to the top.

Like i said they had GH here and my buddy spurr has a bad ass GH profile i am using. Its posted on the first page but i will repost it here.

I will add some profiles for my other rooms on the other threads tonight/tomorrow.

LOVE the zip-tie's holding the block to the slab. Easy and effective and you can cut them right off if need be... good idea, like most you have DS
