For All Cap Ebb and Grow Users

where i am theres a boiler parts factory and they also sell accesories, they have all size and length cleaning brushes.If people are intrested after I go there and I know for a fact if they sell like 3 foot half inch plastic bristle brushes thas perfect for the tubes. Ive been in the same situation I hate throwing the stuff away after the 2nd grow.

I also have 3 ebb and grows, and i amalways lookoing for a quicker way to re start things. I however have tried cleaning the tubes with bleach, h2o2, i would flood back and forth 15 on 15 off for like 2 days but that sludge that coats the inside of the tubes never came out. So, that made me nervoous nd just decide to buy new tubing.

As far as the discussion above with the ppms and stuff, i foudn that topping off the water as often as possible is beneficial, expecially mid to late flowering when the plants suck up a shit ton of water, in a very short amoutn of time thte ppms can become unbalanced and cause burn/lockout/deff problems. All can be avoided by keeping the resavore aroud the same conditions.

i have the flow n gro and so far i love it, the only prob im having is my water temps r high but i will move the res after this grow. im only on day 18 of flowering but they look great. but i never had the cap system so i cant say its better or worst but i do like how the cap has made a few changes to the buckets so there is not as much or any water in the bottom of the bucket after flooding but i like the 360 mesh areation inserts of the flo. ill know more in 6 to 7 weeks

I normally use flood trays with rockwool but thinking of trying out the e&g. Couple questions. For 48 plant in 2 gallon buckets how much hydroton would I need and how big of a rez do I need? Also how often would I have to top it off?

8 bags of hydroton
55 gallon (but bigger is better)
everyday top off

I'm getting ready to buy the Complete Monster System. In years past, I had great success doing DWC with 5 gallon buckets and hydroton. I used 4" x 4" rockwool cubes during veg on a flood and drain table and then transplanted them into the pots with hydroton for the last week of veg and then flower them. I'm thinking about doing the same thing with this system and use air stones in each pot and in the reservoir. Sound good? I was also wondering how well the monster system performs with 9 pots and with 12 pots. I can only legally flower three plants at a time, but if I ever decide to become a caregiver, that info would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Has anyone who has bought the Ebb Monster in the last 6-12 months had any leaks? I just bought the system and am wondering if they've fixed the issues

The new editions dont leak
