I flood every 2 hours that lights are on to about 3" from top of buckets.
Yes you can reuse hydroton....can be a pain getting all the roots out...but doable....I found it easiest to dry them in the sun to get rid of roots.
I hear ya on disposing of dirt....I think my yard has gained a few inches of depth from dumping dirt. :eyesmoke:
You better have a HUGE area for 20 buckets of growth!

Had to cull a Jealousy Z for PM.....been fighting it for awhile and it was going to be more problems than it was worth. The bagseed girl and other JZ should fill in since it's still early.20241008_073119.jpg

Hydro girls looking good. Did some light defoliation through the front door. They almost have the empty space from culled plant half filled.20241013_070929.jpg20241013_072133.jpg

Dialed in buddy. They's happy ladies
It's too easy...you got to dig yours out and set a few pots up at least!
I got some rockwool cubes coming to try. Not going to do the single plant thing though.
Going to try them on the AC wicks instead of soil.

Man...pretty simple to set up? How do u know the depth you're gonna flood? I mean say I wanted 6" of solution to flood my pots..is there a Guage or what. U just play w it? How's that work?

Inside the "brain" there are floats that you can adjust to get whatever flood depth you want. I flood to around 4" below the top of bucket. If you go hydroton you can flood up to every 2 hrs...that's what I do.
Simple as connecting the hose between them.

Alright. When I get my 3x3 back in motion I'll grow 4 glorious bastards. But I'm enlisting your help! Right now I'm on botanicare n will probably leave it the 1 bottle way. Too easy not to.
