Hey all i dont post much been reading this thread for a while now
My experience with the ebb & flow, gives me 4 + and i grow some 4-7 feet tall depending on strain., 8 weeks grow 24 hours lighting watering with grow nutes every 4 hours with last weak transition mix using all General Hydroponics basic mixtures ++. 9 weeks 12 hours watering every 4 hours 30 minutes 2x and 15 minutes the last 2x before lights go out.
to solve my slow starting issue i built a bigger airponics tub with 3 inch net pots. After im rooted 10-15 days, i place the rooted plants in the 3" baskets and in the larger tub and my clones become probly 18 inches and 2 pinches, so i got 4 main branches branches when i add these clones to the grow room . it sprays every 4 hours for 15 minutes spraying
I run chillers and keep water at 67 degrees, this last run i tried the clorox bleech to help roots instead of peroxide

Well i kinda do it as a preventative, Maybe some was me , but in the beginning i thought my roots were not looking good. Maybe its just the dark color that the JuJu makes up too be? I will be looking at rootballs in a week or so , so i will see if i see any diffrence. I never really had slimy roots, maybe more brittle on the bottom of buckets. But then they have been in there for 17 weeks. Grow roots always look better for some reason, but the JuJU isnt so dark either. I dont get roots in the bottom of buckets.
The bleach was easier to use and dindnt seem to hurt the plants i ran 1 tsp per 50 gallons evry 3 days , and adjusted on how high my reservor was

At the end of a 13 week cycle 9 in bloom and 4 in veg my buddys had a 1in root mat. Between the outer bucket and inner
One and they were white no discolor. The root disc was so strong it was pushing up the inner bucket. Thats 15ml for 50gal
And 20 ml for 55 gal. Every 3 days! Of plain uncented bleach. If your not geting roots in the
Bottom of your bucket then your not getting good root development

1st run with the Ebb Monster, Veg for about 4-5wks.
5plants 1x1000 Strain's Querkle, Casey Jones & Cannabis = (Chemdawg D x SpaceDawg)
Lowest yielder was 6(Querkle), highest yielder was 8(Cannabis). Trying for a 7+ avg next run.
Should be no problem along as I don't mix strain or phenos, also adding a 1000watts.

My roots push the hydroton up , but not too many roots grow outside of the buckets. my rootballs are packed, but i think i can do better, Some of the higher dosage is for if you have a problem im not exactly sure , stalks are a good 1" ++ on some.
with chillers and airriation i wouldnt suspect to have root issues, but I always strive to do better

I tried to find this out reading the thread, but it's so very long, I got 35 pages in before I couldn't take it any more...
I need to figure out a good way to connect the CAP Ebb & Gro Controller module (haven't bought yet) to my 3 flood trays sitting on 5" wood blocks on the floor of my tent. I currently have the standard flood/drain bottom drain openings, and they are currently blocked off since I'm not doing flood/drain any longer. I am currently top feeding with 1/2 hosing, and using a Shop Vac to remove excess nute solution.
I want to run a 50-100gal rez that will feed my (3) 3'x3', 5"-6" deep trays, each containing (10-12) 2 gal root pots. I'm not sure how to calculate the amount of water the rez will need to hold, and whether I will have to drill side holes (and use grommets) in the flood tables instead of using the bottom ones. As I don't have the actual unit to inspect, I want to ask you guys for your thoughts on what I will need to do to keep the trays from overflowing.
Perhaps I will need to raise or lower the trays, or set the controller bucket up on something that's the correct height, so that it's overflow float will match the overflow height of the trays.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Sounds good il post some progress later today
I just entered my flowering stage and think the 2 gallon buckets are not going to be big enough. Been vegging for almost 2 months. Short wide plants with 8-10 main stems each lst'd. Height is about 26 inches including the bucket. Bottom of the buckets are completely filled with roots. I am a bit nervous since they are taking up 4x8 foot print under 2 x 1000w. Moving them to a larger space and adding a light or two is not a problem. Just didn't want to transplant into a larger bucket mid bloom.
Hellraizer, how often do you start with a fresh res tank? Weekly in bloom?

In the first 4 weeks you should be ok with every 2 weeks with add back of water and 1/8th nutes
But after that a three foot plant x29 buckets will drink 20+ gal a day lol so then i go every week.
Just cus you have lots of roots as long as your flooding enough water they should be good, thats
The cool thing about hydro.
Now i now your flooding less buckets so you should get 2 weeks all the way through

My first go-around in the Ebb/Gro was pretty terrible. I overfed the Sour Grapes for a little while by following the GH aggressive bloom schedule, so my yields were drastically reduced.
I have since done a shit-load of researching, and I think I have found a good nutrient regime. I am running some Cherry Kush clones this time, and I am going to try and follow Swerve's schedule for Kushes, only without the GH Bloom boosters and with DynaGro Pro-Tekt. I will keep everyone posted on progress.
