Hi All

Trying one of these out and it's a basic 12 pot system, it only has one clock that can be set at 15min intervals for either or drain, it has not got the second 'dial/knob' to set the flood time.....

Using clay pebbles with 3" rockwool cubes sey in aqua pots.

What do i need the settings to be ?

Does it alter between veg/flower ??

Do i need to flood more or for longer when placing cubes in system until roots have developed ???

Any help/advice much appreciated.

Cheers

Its flood/drain BASIC system, not a bubbler, ?

How can you have bubbles in a flood/drain system ???? only in main res for aeration...

Ive watched a couple of vids on it and the duration of the flood was 15 but not sure of intervals. When i was timing my floods it was every 2 hours but you'll get a lot of answers here i would think. I now have a continuos flood but different system, kinda like a Nft/rdwc lol. If the roots are developed flood can probably stay the same for the duration but as I said there are people here that know way more than me. My last tray was turned off for 1 week after i had gotten all the main buds off and the plants were still thriving with no flood, there was a massive root structure though😳. Buggers just wouldnt die lol.
