I have used one for the last 3 years. 1 x 2m version but with individual reservoirs to fiddle with nutrients. Good bits of kit.

I also know alot of people that use them with very good results. Similar to the old Ikon Kits, with benefits.

Im scratching me head and cant see what they offer over a standard nft system. Please enlighten us to these added benefits this system offers. Im in the market for a new system.

Some people prefer to grow in gully's over cheap tray systems for many reasons, including myself. They are much easier to manage, easier to regulate. I use a 2 x 1m 2 gully, so i can gain access to my room by simply sliding the gullys to the side- floor space for access... try getting to the back of the cupboard with tray systems, you'll be taking the whole thing out. Been there- done that. When i harvest i slide the gullys out, when i change reservoir i can clean it and do it easier than a fixed tray system reservoir.

The plastic "board" that comes with trays that you have to cut your own holes into are diabolical, they are no way light tight and just sit on top of the tray.... another reason mc's are better

There are lots of benefits over these systems to trays. Can you name me a few benefits a tray system would have over this?! I would be genuinely be interested to hear.

*i looked into purchasing individual parts to make one, and cost come no where near.
**Geezer or not, it works, its cheap, it looks the nuts, and it makes trays suck ass (refer to the above)

No real benefits at all then. A standard nft sysytem will work as good if not better, cheaper as well no doubt.

And so am I. You're saying they are better and offer more benefits over a traditional tray system. You have come hear and plugged that sysytem so im simply asking what are these wonderful benefits that a gully system offers over a tray. Like i said there are none, yeah maybe they might fit in your grow room a bit better but thats about all as far as i can see.
