She is a leggy gurl. I'm not a fan of all the topping an stuff (no time) but with her I do. Seed run I would at least top once. Clones easy. In flower she steps right up to the lights opening up for the buds to get the light.
Nutes I run at about 1000 ppm (1.2-1.4 EC) took em like a champ I think she would hav liked more N early.

60-65 days for cloudy. 70-75 for amber

And the smell is so nice,it needs a poet to truly describe. Light citrus flower??


Enjoy ;)

Tasty errl ;)

Whoo! Just finished reading all 291 pages. I just got the standard 2gal Ebb & Gro. This is my first real hydro project; some experience dirt farming but I'm building a room and want to keep it clean. Plus i have classes and work to deal with so an automated system is def a plus.

I have a 6x12 room with a 4x8 tent. Have 15 clones coming in the next few days (8 strains) mixed sativa and indica and my plan is to find out which works best in the system and available space. Next crop I'll keep it simple with just a couple well matched strains. I'm a legal card holder so I decided to keep it to 15 (WA state law) at the moment.

I have 15 buckets (5 rows of 3) going in a 4x8 tent with the res. and control bucket going in the corner of the room outside the tent in a 2ft wide walkway. Inside the tent I have a 1kw inside an 8in hood off-center to cover 3 rows and a 400w covering the other 2rows.

I welcome advise from anyone with experience using this system.

I've also made it through all 291 pages of this thread. I just wanted to state, as many have made inquiries into the Sentinel Ebb & Flow, that I plan on purchasing and starting my first grow with it in the next few weeks. Since the Sentinel only comes with 6 buckets to start, that's all I'll be starting out with. They'll be in a 5x5 space under 1000w. When I make the purchases of all my equipment in the next month, I'll post a link here to my journal where I'll hopefully be able to provide some insight into the Sentinel, and get some help as a new grower.

Thanks to everyone that has contributed information into ebb & grow systems in this thread.

I'm running the standard version, except I added 2 expansion to get to 24 buckets.

Are you planning to LST or SCROG or something? 15 plants will fill that space pretty well without too much veg, but I bet a little LST will help it to fill out nicely. Are you planning to start a journal so we can see pics?

/rant on
I'm in WA too, but I'm already over the 15 plant limit. People who make laws about MJ just shouldn't do it. They have no clue. Of course I think all the laws concerning MJ should be abolished, so... :blsmoke:

/rant off

OK I feel better :weed:

Looking forward to seeing your pics!

I have a question for my fellow Ebb & Gro users...

When removing the inner bucket, has anyone built/devised a way to set the plants down without damaging the roots?

I had an idea of using 2 long 2x4s on edge. I would space them apart just wide enough to catch the lip on the buckets. One concern I had was the middle might bow out and the bucket could fall. I guess I could put some cross braces at the same spacing so there are 'square' holes for the plant buckets. Originally I thought I might cut circle holes into the lids of some 5g buckets. I can still do that, but looking for other ideas.

I want it to be something that I can "put away" when I'm not using it. I know my basement provides a lot more space than many others have, but there will be much less "extra" space once the second flowering room, mother room, clone/veg area, and curing cabinet are all in place. Maybe I should just go buy more 5g buckets and lids. Ideally I need space for 22 plants for this grow. This way I can clean out the whole system with no plants in it. I also thought about ordering a bunch of CAP lower buckets, but I think the 5G buckets from Walmart are cheaper.

What does everyone else do when they need to set the inner bucket down while a plant is growing roots out the bottom?

Any bucket will work. Hav water in it.

Because of my injuries I can no longer 'pull pots' on a capcom system. I pull the hose off and move both pots to the next station.

One of the many reasons the titian is a better system.

Ease of pulling pots.

I just watched the Titan setup video and I don't see a difference between that system and the Ebb & Gro. Obviously the buckets are different, but this system appears to be the same design as the C.A.P. system. What makes these buckets easier to pull out?

the obvious part must not be so obvious I guess.

The cap buckets fit tight. It can take both feet and both hands to pull. Especially if there is a vacuum. The titian inner pot is smaller. The sides don't touch. A quick snap and out comes the inner net pot.
The titian is a better system. This is my business. I own several caps. And service both. The titian is hands down better period.
