I see how efficient the Ebb N Grow system really is. hassle free hydroton, Not much waste water.. It's official, I'm converting over to this style. Could you give me a few beginning tips to help me along my way ?I know how to grow in soil, but this Ebb N Grow shit is a whole nother level ! Have you had any problems with the plastic connectors Clogging? Any leaks? I have read you cannot use molasses or powder substances because it creates problems. Do you keep your res chilled, if so what is the temp? How often do you res change? When refilling the res, do you dump everything out and make a new batch or do you mix separately and add to the existing res..

reduce your temp swing, atm you have ~20deg temp swing which accounts for your elongated stems by reducing the temperature swing to 5-10deg or less will drastically decrease your internodal spacing eg... check my room out... has a 6F temp swing from day to night can see clearly how short and stalky my plants are ;)

Get yourself a 5 ton central AC ! Take the ducting and temper glass off the hoods and you will increase your lumens ! I have ran ducted hoods and ductless hoods, ductless reflectors and a sealed room is my personal fav. !

Maybe u do but do u have the outside air on a thermostat. And dampers on the ducting so when the air is off cuz room is at desired temps u won't loose any co2.
