OK here we go ... 3..2...1...
Here we have DeweyKox's Lowrider Ebb/Flow Set up...
Yes! ladies and gentlemen.. it's ALL in there... res too...
You will have to ask Dewey himself about what he used as a res...
But there you have it...
It's possible...
Now how about a round of applause and some well deserved rep to our friend and accomplished grower... DeweyKox... and his box of buds...

Yea I remember seeing his low profile ebb and flow reading through this thread:
I think his tray is a 2x3 tho, thats why he can get away with a 15 gallon rez.
If I bought an ebb and flow system I think I would want a 3x3 and that needs a 20 gallon rez. Those are about 11 - 12 inches tall.

60 bucks for the rez and another 40 for the lid
My 15 gallon rez is 5.5 inches tall! I need the room, I'm telling yea, I don't have much room!
I only have 4 feet top to bottom! Here is pics of my setup. The Flower room on the Left, the Veg room on the right. Side by side.
These pics are from last year when I was just getting the hang of things!
A close up of the low profile tank setup!

There are options to what you posted, but they all pretty much cost money... unfortunately...
I tried,... I even tried to be funny doing it...
But I do not know how to do it without money... sorry...
oh well..

Yea I guess i am cheap 
Ive been looking for something shorter then a 20 gallon rubbermaid.
But for now the hempy buckets seem to be working ok. They are cheap to setup too.
And the hand watering is not overly bothersome, yet...
Ive got money for all the gear, but i am giving this Hempy thing a shot first.

Hey Gypsy,
Quick question if you got a minute. How often do you water those clones. I cut some yesterday, and they are looking good btw. I have been watering every 12 hours. I am watering with a solution of pH 5.5 H2O with a few drops per gallon of Superthrive. At 12 hours they are all weighing between 17-20g. I add water with a syringe to 28g. I have a clone box along the same lines as Al's. Heat mat, exhaust fan two 2' 18W fluros. Any way, just wondering how often you have to water yours. This seems to be working well so far. I will let you know if they decide to grow some roots. Thanks.

Shoot!
It depends o weight...
I can make the heavier (35~40g) and they will stay damp enough for 2 days...
Or if I want to see roots... I keep them at 25g, which may require up to 3 waterings in a day...
Whatever it takes to keep them alive but thirsty...
I do not use sperthrive, but I see no harm... I guess... never used the stuff...
I am not a big fan of additives...
sounds like at the weight you are doing them, they need water every 12 hours...
Just a few more grams of water will last several more hours...
If you do not want to water so often, use 35g..
I don;t know your conditions there, but 35g will easily last me 24hrs..
Do what he does and you should get what he gets...
just keep weighing them until you "calibrate" your hand...
They should pop within 7 to 10 days at 28g or less...
2 weeks for 35g or less...
Best of luck..!!!

I use 3x3 trays with 40 gallon rezs w/ lids. I wouldn't use smaller than a 20 gallon rez on a 3x3 tray. I like the stability of a larger water supply, less pH fluctuations and such. Just my thoughts ~~~If I bought an ebb and flow system I think I would want a 3x3 and that needs a 20 gallon rez. Those are about 11 - 12 inches tall.

- 40 Gallon - 30" x 38" x 12" $125.95 - for both rez & lid

So if I'm getting seeds that aren't feminized, and I have to put the plant into flowering to tell if it's male or female, once I cull the males, do I just put the females back into 24/7 light? Will they go back into veg? I guess theoretically I only need one female because I just make a few more mothers with clones.

The way most people do that is...
Start your seed...
Take a clone from the unsexed plant and root it...
Slap the marked clone into flower... and wait for sexing...
Correlate the female clones with the moms and get rid of any males along with dads...
Reveging does work, but it takes a long time and puts undue stress on the plant..
Keep the original plant in veg and sex a cutting...,that's my vote...

Ive seen visible trichome growth over the last 5 days or so.
Last night I sprayed my buds with Greencure as a mold prevention. I noticed that they were feeling a bit top heavy

This is my first run with Hempy SOG, and i am hoping for 15 grams per clone.
I do have a Veg chamber as well but its empty right now.
My mother plants are growing outside for my Guerrilla Grow:
https://www.rollitup.org/outdoor-growing/199723-my-organic-guerilla-grow-2009-a.html
I intend on taking clones from them soon and rooting them in my veg chamber with my bubble cloner. So yes Iam going to be running this OP perpetually.
Every 2 months a new batch of Hempy's will replace the old ones.
During the winter months I plan on keeping 10 or so mothers alive in Hempy two liters.
