IWS: Flood & Drain System

[TheRocket]

More I look at this system the more I fancy trying it..

Just wondering what people's views are on this system? I did look at the DWC but water temps could be an issue.. at least with the f&d I can put the water res outside the tent if needed!

Can't find to much on here? Not sure if it's just the app limiting though

Any input please guys before I splash some cash! Already wasted money on that awful auto gravity feed system lol

I'll bite Rocket. I'm currently running ebb and flow right now. It's my first run at it. I have been studying a lot these last few weeks to a month now. I love it. I use coco in 4L fabric pots. I would suggest you do the same. Please check out my journal. If you have any questions please don't be shy

I'll be readily available and waiting for you Rocket

I love the ebb and flow set up. I've tried growing in soil before but outside with limited results. So now I use a tent, under the stairs, and A system I purchased on Amazon. I think it was well worth it to me. I started out using hydroton and pots, but now switched to rock wool blocks. The rock wool is a better deal. I'm halfway through my grow two weeks into flour and everything looks fantastic. I spent close to $1000 to get set up. I do it all over again hope this helps.

Quite a time ago I done soil inside and didn't care for it too much, then it was onto the water farms which was a type of constant drip and dwc together and I really enjoyed them for the first system in hydro. I used them for around 4 grows while I was studying ebb-n-flow.
When I got my first e&f I really wished I'd started with it instead as for me it's a lot more easier and fun. Although you might a temperature problem in the sweet summertime with either system I don't worry about it as long as I run z7 In the reservoir. I currently Have a Botanicare 3x3 flood table with 20 gal. res. for flowering using 3 gal. frabric pots with hydroton rocks. You can buy the system or you can go DIY and make your own, as I did for my veg tent. I got a tote, cement tray and some pvc pipe and fittings to make the stand all at one place, only thing I had to order were the flood and drain fittings. However you go, Glad you're going hydro.

Simple, built my system in 5 hours with an old fish tank and a steralite container. My pots are my medical marijuana containers. Get creative.
