Havent used that one but for what it is its reallll over priced.A 4 x 4 tray is under $50 bucks then pots are about a buck each the drain and fill valves $2 each and the pump under $20 so you can do it yourself for under $90 and it would be better

oh i most certainly agree, im not buying it @ that price. thats just the picture and the specs.

im getting it from a private seller. I just wanted to know if anyone had used it and how it worked for them

It's a nice small system, and the pots are filled with growrocks, and are flooded with nutes from the reservoir. Since it's only 2x2, you would grow 8 small plants, or 4 medium plants.

Hello I'am doing a ebb&flood in my cab that I have build.One thing that you dont see is that all the working parts are in the res.the flood pump,the air stones and if you use a powerhead to constantly circulate the res mix it is in the res too.At res change you have to clean the res and the parts too.With those units you will have to lift the tray out to get to the res.Some say you only have to change every two weeks,well that's not always true,The plants tell you when to change the mix.I have too change every 10 days with these girls.The first time changing the res was the longest,but after that I got it down to 40 mins.from the time I open the doors to closeing them.Like it has been said before you can build your own flood tray and res.The res tank,tray pumps{water&air}air stones,timer,and misc.parts for under $100.00 bucks.It the light and balleast that I paid more for.Heres some pixs,From one week to week 5.So far things are going as I plan for them too.The 3 plants in the front are from a outside plant I cloned and the one in the back left corner is from seed.They are doing great. PEACE

Katie darling buy it. There are 16 individaul pots in that system. Its perfect to start. Put 16 seedlings in it. If you meet the law of averages 1/2 male leaves 8 plants in a 2' by2' space. VV
