Yes i was thinking perpetual so it sounds like 2 separate ebb and flo rooms are the way to go. Is it a pain in the ass to do it this way? Ideally, id like to veg under t5 and flower under led with a little, separate area for clones with a small light

that's why I'm going 6" Hugo blocks. so it's less of a pain in the ass. root structures can get huge in the block without needing to touch down on any coco mat. so in your case you'll probably have two tables, no mat in veg, but a mat in flower. I haven't yet done this method but the guy at the hydro store advised me that if roots start popping out the bottom of your Hugo you can just have a ~1" layer of hydroton on your tray to let them hide under.. I've also read that your canopy can be so big that exposed roots on the tray won't matter.

the reason I like Hugos is their ease of plugging into the buckets with the 6" square net pot bucket lids. but dude there are literally so many ways to grow on an ebb and flow table. this is just one that I've vetted out for my next grow.

FWIW, though, I've seen monster fucking plants grow out of a Hugo and nothing else. bonus is rockwool retains water longer than hydroton for example. so need to flood only a couple times a day.

I just got high so rambling may have been a factor here.

Bluntsmith, im thinking 2 flood trays would be a pain in the ass to maintain but im not sure what other options there are for veg. Aero for a little longer then straight into flower?
