Anyone else have any tips for working with flood and drain hydroponics? Also, show your setup. Mother Plants 1 600w Phantom commercial per 4x4 space. 100 Gallon reservoir Flower room is exactly is exactly as the mother setup but with 1 1000w Phantom per 4x4 area. 18 inch distance from shortest plant (light to plant)
Just one tip! ..lol AVOID flood and Drain this time of year those rockwall cubes can be a nightmare with molds and what not that said Yours is a grand affair indeedy how you handle the mold...? Good Luck
For mold, i just use a 1:2 ratio of Hydrogen Peroxide to Water. I will spray everything later to help remove ALL the molding from the top of the rockwool. Other than that, I use ladybugs to kill pests that i sometimes get. Since I don’t have to rely on other clones, i just keep my mothers and ventilation cleaned.

I’ve been doing Flood And Drain for more than 3 years all year round. And I have noticed that this time of year, it is quite ugh to get a great yield like i usually get. Edit: Typo
I've been growing flood and drain for 3 years as well but i use baskets of hydroton instead of rockwool Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
What if you were to replace the baskets with rockwool? would they be any different? have they been any different?
My hydroton definitely doesn't retain alot of water that's why l got to flood it every 6 hours .... i got a digital timer to replace the analog because I wanted to mess around with the flooding schedule but i haven't done so yet ..... Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
Here is pics of 1 of the 6 plants i have under 1000 watt hps on the 4x4 flood table at day 21 of flower.... my guess on harvest time is day 65ish... THC BOMB Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
this is wow. you do give your plants space. so maybe i should too. but at the end, we both get same results
I am currently building my room not to far to go I have a 4x4 and a 40 gal res I'll also be growing in straight hydroton my buddy floods every 8 hours I was thinking about trying for the 6hr mark as I've seen a lot of people do. If I may ask what type of nutes are you using? That plant is beautiful! I will be going with the hg aqua flakes minus 2 of the additives
I use gh flora 3 part for nutes and im one of the flood every 6 hours people ..... 40 gallon res is a little small for a 4x4 table if you keep it all the way full you should be ok though, a bigger one would make it easier to maintain for you ...i have a 100 gallon res and dont want to go back to a 50 gallon res Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
Do you flood every six hours wether the lights are on or off I was thinking a 6 12 6 12,,, eventually I will be going to a 100 gal res but in the mean time the 40 will do I got a good deal on and used botanicare res Lid and table,, a good buddy of mine floods 3 tables with his 100 gallon and cleans and changes the res weekly so I should be alright with changing every week
Yes I flood every 6 hours doesn't matter if lights are on or off...... here a pic of that thc bomb day 61 flower Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
