Oxygen pot ebb and flow system

Post by Josh »

Hey everyone, got a bad ass deal on this 6 site ebb and flow system
https://youtu.be/EdI-XupAkj0
brand new for 200$ so I couldn't pass it up

With the grow bags in there it gives me the option to run coco without clogging everything up, so the question is.. Should I keep it true ebb and flow and go with hydroton or drain to waste with coco? Your preferance and reason why

And also, how often would I have to flood with hydroton? I can't imagine it holding water for long

FFS hasnt that bloke ever heard of the keep it short and sweet sales tactics. Seems like a way over complicated system and I think you coulda built one simpler and cheaper. Sorry dont think that answers your question mate but i couldnt listen to that guy dribble at a million miles an hour for over 7 mins lol.

The only difference I see between this and a homemade system is the fabric pot inserts. I bought it more for peace of mind against leakages, I trust my building skills and all but having something ready to go is always nice.
What do you think hobbit, what would you go with? Coco, hydroton, rockwool, etc

Hydroton?? is that clay balls as I think this would be your tidiest and best aerated option. You could have inserted a fabric bag to any old pot, but im not sure i get the point.

I wonder how often I'd have to flood it though?

It has a timer with 5 minute increments, you can either flood the buckets and drain back to the res or flood them and drain to waste
