yeah dude, its an ebb and flow system. It has a flood tray, resevoir with some airstones and the submersable pump. I'll try and find some pics and post when I get back later. Usually I just take pics of the plants though, but I think I have a few of the actual system.
I like the ebb and flow because it gives you a lot of freedom on where you put the plants and how many you have etc...

I have tried to find info on the ebb and flow system.. did not find anything.. I do not understand how this one works. Unless it is where you have the small hoses that feed each plant the water and nuts.

My system I would think would be hard to grow more then 6 plants, and even then it would be a tight fit.

dude, ebb and flow is the easiest hydro system there is. THe system you described with the small hoses, is a drip system. It's also an easy system to use, but ebb and flow is the most straight forward.

all you need is a tray, resevoir, airstones, air pump and submersible water pump. You keep your plants in pots in the tray and the tray gets flooded a few times a day.

Its worked well for me. I'm sure your hydro store has the necessary trays and res's that you need.

sound just about like my system. Except for the air stone and air pump.. which I am already thinking of getting this friday to get air into the water. Am I wrong to put a air pump, with stone into my resevoir?

Interesting system. are the roots constantly submerged in the water? You should definitely get an airstone though, to prevent algae growth and get oxygen to the roots, etc.

No,, my system floods the tray every 4 hours for 3 minutes. Then it drains. How does your system work?

I thought the Algae needed light to grow? This is the reason my resevoir is covered to keep light out. But I will still being getting the air stone. I have read it also help to get air into the water for the plants. Is this true?

Yo Buds alike,I have never heard of anyone washing there roots clean,and then putting in hydro, I have thouht of it , or someone mentioned it, some where along the line.Didn't think it could be done, changes my why of thinkin again!!I have a hydro, but growing in dirt now to get mothers saved.Have been reading alot of good stuff on this site. I am wondering if there is a good pic or drawing of a hermi. My plants are making me wonder.They are old enough to be preflowering,maybe they need more time.

search the forum with key work hermi. I read a thread a few days ago, where I guy posted a really good pic of his hermi.

Just checking to see if that Amsterdam Connection thingy will stay on my post. I have no idea how it got there.
