ebb and gro system

mornin gang, I'm a week into grow number one with my ebb and gro bucket system and was hooping to find some others that have used or use this set up. i was wondering how often you flood and about how high you'd start your lights(1000w) for clones. Ive tried the search but woth no luck ( is there some trick to this sites search or does it just work like shit always?)

BACKGROUND I have 15 buckets with flora series nutes pumping threw 3 times a day. A 1000w hps on 18/6 about 2 feet from the tipsof the girls. and a fan blowing for an hour every other hour.

I've never used this system, sorry man...

well thanks for the reply KILLS

well you are a lucky man. it is nice. I hope I dont get banned fort this but I was on grass city and wow every body uses it! Here we all got the a l bfcut school or perpetual harvest in rw, over there they have like a 100 grow uses ebb and grow bucketts.

Some shot you gotta read like reservoirs that leak and mods that should be made. No panic though. Looks good.

I bet it is not your first grow. I did my first crop in flora nova and now have gone to soil and all organic. I though overall it is what I want reallt. Best of luck to you though. I like that system alot. fast drain ebb is cool.

bump it for the mid day crew

If you're using hydroton flood every 2-3 hours with lights on, no need to flood with lights off.

thanks DOG, I was hoping to find a couple people here with the same system to share some tips with me

The manual says to flood 3-4x per day. I pretty much stick to 3x.

i started with 4 times but within two days the leafs were dropping so i cut to three times and they got a little brtter

i cant believe theres only one other guy using this, c'mon guys

i dont have one, but i want four so ive done some reading.

check this guys shit out - https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/85535-my-super-grow-room.html he seems to be real good about answering Q's and getting back to you. the thread starts just after he bought the system and i believe he is on his third grow now.
