You can't add anything to your shopping cart at this website (I wanted to see how much shipping was) and the site owner's cell phone number is listed on the top of the page. Pretty shady if you ask me:-P All the prices are unbelievably low.
Yea the websites hella shitty..I can vouch for the store though..not affiliated but I am a loyal customer..they're just a small business in the middle of nowhere that gets by by givin such good deals..the owners a cool guy and he gives some good ass deals..I can't speak for their shipping as I normally just make the commute to the shop, but I'm sure they'll work with you..they got a shit ton of stuff thats not even on their website

Simple... you don't. You buy two seperate pumps & two timers. Then you can stagger the fills. I did that same setup on my first grow, except I used 3 trays (and 3 pumps). Be sure to use a digital timer so that you can time the fill precisely. If you fill too long, the trays can easily overflow unless you use a massive top-drain.

I start with rockwool cubes. First the 1" till the roots are popping out, then the 4" till the roots pop out. Then I fill half the pot with clean hydroton, place the rw baby in the center and fill in the rest with hydroton. Viola.

hey guys just ordered another ebb and gro, planning on running 24 pots on the 55 gal rez, is that to many pots? i dont mind adding to the rez often, this system doesnt require to much labor as is and dont think it would be the biggest deal to top off the rez a little more often, please let me know what u think

I have my ebb n grow all set up and ready to go. (I did end up locating the vacuum release elbow, so thanks for the help.)

I have a new problem, however. I'm basically running three rows of three buckets attached to three of the outlets. The other three outlets have end caps. Two of the three rows fill up just fine, but one row doesn't fill up past the one inch mark. Any ideas?

I checked for kinks (none) and checked the tube to ensure there weren't any blockages. all the buckets are set up at the same level and the row that doesn't fill up is actually the first row of the three, so it's not a pump pressure issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.
