I just set up an ebb and flow system using a mortar mixing tub
14 gal tote as the reservoir
and 20 5x5x7 square pots
for my medium I am using Botanicares readygro aeration mix
I was planning on flooding my tub for about 1 min 3 times a day (it takes my 400gph about 1 min to completely empty my reservoir into the tub) Ive flooded the tub twice now and I am noticing that the top 3" of my readygro is still dry and dusty are you supposed to flood your table for longer than 1 min? Or are you supposed to top feed your medium to initially get it wet or something? Ive seen other people to an ebb and flo style grow using coco but I hanvt heard of anyone having an issue with the coco not wicking properly (or maybe im not doing something the proper way?) Your help would be greatly appretiated:joint:
