I have grow bags and it says on the label they can be used in flood trays. I currently have a peat/coir mix as media and the bags sit in a plastic tray. I have been hand feeding from a pail of oxygenated water, filling the tub with water and letting the plants soak it up. It has worked well. I'm thinking of trying the same setup with perlite for higher oxygen levels and maybe some peat or coir for moisture retention. Why not simply add a water pump, an intake and outlet tube and automate the process? Seems reasonable enuff to me.I told him I'd never heard of using smart pots in ebb & flow before.
The title pretty much says it all
Has anybody ever seen this or heard of it?
I saw an acquaintance a few days ago and he was asking me lots of questions about an ebb & flow set-up. I think he got most of his info from the grow shop;). I was able to answer all of his question until he got to the pots. I told him I'd never heard of using smart pots in ebb & flow before.
I was thinking the smarties would stay too wet. I completely dismissed the idea when he mentioned it but now I'm second guessing. I've run hydro a long time and used smart pots also BUT never thought of combining the two, is this some new "trick" set-up that I don't know about? Maybe this old dog needs to learn some new tricks.
