Flood and drain tables are designed to automate the watering of your plants.
Since this is done in soilless mediums,
it requires hydro nutes.
Here is a graphic illustration of a flood and drain table.
The nutes are pumped up to the flood table,
several times during the day,
and drain back into the rez.
This action pulls oxygen into the root zone,
while maintaining enough moisture to keep the plants from wilting.
It is a good method of hydro.
