Hey all,

I am currently running an Ebb and Grow, 11 sites, with the 5 gal. buckets. My flower area it 5x10, with two 600w HPS bulbs. I have vegged for 8 weeks and the plants are around 2.5 ft. tall and all is going well. I currently use AN's sensi 2-part for veg and bloom, with Bud Ignitor/BigBud/Overdrive staged appropriately. I use Superthrive for the B's, some Bud Candy, and a homemade tea of microbials that my local shop gives out for free. Every other changeout I run hydrozyme. So far, the ladies love it.

My question comes as about as I am looking for ways to tweak my setup for improvemnts. I remember reading somewhere about not feeding at night, and I was wondering if I should cut the fill/drain cycles down - or even out completely - during the 12 off time. My current feeding scedule is every 3 hours for 30 minutes. (I go for 30 because it takes a while to fill the buckets, and I want to give the microbials a little bit of extra time to work.)

Thanx in advance!

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that.... my medium is grow rocks.... similar to lava rocks and made from recycled glass. They hold moisture pretty well.

Yeah, the hydrozyme is a lot liks the AN version (Sensizyme). The difference is (in my opinion), hydrozyme works better, and you can run a LITTLE BIT of H2O2 with it (it will kill Sensizyme). Hydrozyme (and Sensizyme too) work great with microbials. As to being from anc ak.... I'll let you know when I get back from my hike up Powerline Pass... :-)
