How many different strains have you run in 1 grow? I'm interested in running like 10 different in a flood drain setup, just scared that the same feed might have issues.

I believe I've run like 6 different strains at once in recent years on a roughly 3'X4' single table. I used 1 gal pots, 10 pots per table. In my experience, a couple might get fussy, while the others chug right along. Just par for the course in a F&D.

Dude, your pics are:o:clap:. What are you using to take pics with.
Thanks WaterDog, just a Samsung phone with no filters or photo editing. I'll bust out the Nikon and a macro lens for the harvested bud shots sometimes though.
Heres some more I just took with the phone.
"Mothers Milk" approaching 6 wks and shes got the carbon scrubber workin hard now. Sweet milky candy hits you in the face as soon as you walk in.

Heres the most recent GG4 cuts that went into flood tables today. I've been taking larger cuts than I used to and have been happy with the turnout at harvest so I've continued to do them this larger size. This is about 2 weeks in the bubble cloner which has always been the norm with her.

Im only running a 200W DIY LED light for this run on the flood table so I kept the count low. This makes 600W total between both flood tables (200W over the "GG4" and 400W over the "Mothers Milk". Cant get too crazy with lighting in the summer months.

Noted. Just getting started with cloning so i'll have to read up on that a bit...

So I've just been rereading the thread to figure out what you use for your flood tables, but I can't find it. They seem pretty basic, did you just get a mixing tub at like Home Depot or something?

Debating whether I need to buy one with ridges or a flat one will work

I just bought 2 of the small sized mixing tubs from Home Depot for $6 ea. I hooked up a 1/2" fill & 3/4" drain bulk head in each tub. 2 tubs per table. I use a 27 gal HD tote ($13 with the yellow lid at Home Depot) as the res for each table. I use 2 - 180gph pumps per res (one for each tub). 1 gallon pots (5 in each tub) and hydroton. Its been the most convenient, effective and inexpensive setup I've ever run.
I think I have about $70 invested into each table. Other than replaced pumps after 2 yrs, Im still using the same stuff I was on day 1 with the build. Breaks down easily for cleaning at every harvest too.

They seem like the work fantastic and as you said can be kept up pretty easily. Definitely look into making some very similar.

Quick question about cloning since your the most helpful poster on this site man :clap:.

Do you PH your water in your cloner? Or do anything specific like use a certain gel or something like that? Or is it just water until they are ready to come out?

The last 2 runs of clones I did I used a low ppm nutrient and pH the water to 5.7.
My ppm was under 260 with water starting out at 110ppm from tap. I've achieved the same results with just water before too so.....

When I was cloning all I did was wet the ends & shave around 1 inch from the bottom & just stuck it in DWC w/ plain water & a little Nirvana from AN under 200 w in my closet & all rooted nicely 12 for 12 some i started in the tent under my 600 w cooltube with their mothers & they did just fine also

Its going to get orangey in the Whorehouse real soon. I'll be popping these when I get this current run of Gorilla Glue finished up.

Currently in the Whorehouse:
GG4 flowering under 200W COB LED
First time flowering with this light since it was built just for my momma room. Lets see what this little bugger can do.
