hey all,
I'm trying my hand at a flood/drain system. i just did a trial run with just the water, hydroton and pots. 5 gallons seems to do the trick and the water from the pump seems to reach the overflow tube within a minute or so. It drains pretty quick, but there's still maybe 1/2 an inch of water at the bottom of the tub that the pots are sitting in. Should I be worried about this growing mold or should the plants/hydroton soak that up through the day? I had terrible luck with DWC because i began growing stuff in the res. I dont want to mess up again!
also, how many times should the tub be flooded each day? I was thinking around twice?
and, how much H202 per gallon? and do i "top off" during the week with H202 as well?
Thanks!
