Hi ICE
Not sure what to call it LOL
Flood and drain to recycle?
I use the Hydroton rocks for a medium, easy to reuse (well almost easy)
I have a timer from Wally world 24 hr at 15 min intervals.
I have been flooding the tray twice a day for 15min.
Once when they wake up and once eight hours later for veg and flower.
I have a 35gal res. from Kmart and change the nutes every 2 weeks.
I don't have a lot of room, so I guess this is it.
I can plant abou 85 plants at 4 inch spacing.
Going to try it with no veging next time.
Have a 6inch extractor fan to a 6inch Big Blue Ionizer then to a home made 16x 16 x 16 inch x 4foot filter chamber.
Bought some 1 inch Activated Carbon filter material off the internet.
to cover the open side.
So far no smell, and this WW is really smelly
I have traided a WW for a (New?) The Church.
Going to try a few along with the WW next grow.
It may seem like over kill for me and the Wife, but have a son, crippled in motor cycle accident (parapalegic) and a few Viet Vets to look after.
Thanks for all the good info on this site.
It really cleared things up especially the part about Veging depending on how many plants per square meter.
I am going to try for the 9 plants per foot.
I like those center colas yum yum.
Now you really got this old man rambling.
Have not talked to anyone about it sense i started.

Life is a journey......not a destination
