Cheaper of you buy larger amounts from them

Got the first 6 manifolds plumbed in,the 30 gals get 4 8L/per H drippers outlets and the 45s get 6 just waiting for the pressure compensating emitters to turn up and I can give it a test run

I've only done to feed if that's draining out and going back into the feed tub
I really liked using the clayballs with that system

I talk to an aussie bloke that has ran flood and drain for like 20 years he has 4x4 trays with 1000w hps lighting and pulled like 1.93 grams per watt last run, crazy numbers. Like almost 2kg per tray lol its insane. He used to use clay pebbles and Rockwool in the past but he reckons coco gave him about an extra 20 or 30% hey. Thinking about flood and drain hempys. Gunna try 2 different experiments in my 2 trays.

Anyone know what the difference is between the grades? I got the 99% one because I didn't like the sound of rubbing alcohol haha

You can make or buy a modular flood and drain system rather than try and mod a hempy

Purity and water content usually

i always liked dutch buckets. very simple drain to waste or recirculating hydro set up that you can easily build yourself

Nah I got them in the tray, I was just gunna flood them past the drain spout and see how they go

 

[Papasmurf99]

Just bottom feed them essentially but recirculating.

 

[Papasmurf99]

Seems like less work than building dozens of drippers haha

what method do you guys use? if yall don't mind me asking, I'm organic and living soil but a lot of my friends have been pushing me to give hydro a try, so in figured why not learn a Lil bit!

Flood an drain 1120mm by 1120mm used 4 plants when I done that 1 month veg

What did you yield?

They yield huge when done right too

 

[ruby fruit]

I don't cut, I just use this method

Just watched it
10-15% return doesn't sound much but shit man one drop...

Fabric bags with coco work well

I like coco mate. But if I had the cash would be rdwc for sure.

Yeah thats what I've got for the other side gunna run like 20 in 1 gal geo pots. Figure I might aswell experiment during my seed runs so by the time i got good clones I'll know exactly which way I wanna do it.

I've heard a lot about the rdwc, can't you just build your own, I've seen a few videos on YouTube about it! do u mind sharing the benefits of each, I don't mean to hyjack yalls thread, I'm just looking for ppls opinions!

About a pound
