My titan flo and gro system will be here on Friday and I have a few questions on setting up my room. I have two grows under my belt, but the were both aeroponic and horizontal. This will be a vertical ebb and flow, I have a lot to learn before Friday!!
I am not sure how to build something that will contain all that water in the case of a spill or leak when I am not around. That huge reservoir is nice, but it could be a huge mess. I am imagining having to build a huge wooden frame that supports a big piece of thick vinyl. The room is 12x12 and I will be using most of that with the buckets, especially if I expand to the full 18 sites eventually. I also intend to keep the reservoir in an adjacent room that should be much cooler without any lights in it. Would I need to have something around the res too in case of a big leak? It's kind of overwhelming to think of, and I have seen a lot of people put these systems in tents, on floors, or anywhere without any type of container to save the floor in case of a leak. I am tempted to go without, and just set the entire system directly on my carpeted floor, that is also on the second story! Thoughts?
Thank you in advanced for any input you can offer. The people at my hydro shop don't seem to know too much about such specific things like this and I am struggling finding the answers on my own. I'm not sure what I would do without forums
