6 in rockwool and hydroton anyone else run theirs like this??

So here's the question guys. I run a 3*6 flood and drain table. My previous grows I use the 6 in rockwool until the roots are busting out the bottom, then I put a couple inch layer of hydroton in the tables and backfill around the wool. This method has worked well for me in the past, however I don't see many people running their set ups like mine. Is it inefficient like this? I start at one flood daily in early veg then bump up as I find necessary throughout the grow. Thanks for any input.

I don't see why you should change what's working for you. Have you ever tried to top feed?

By the way I also grow in rock wool using 6x3 trays

Just thought I might get faster growth using just hydroton or ton with a small wool square. Never tried top feed. You just set up a dripper over your wool and set it on a slow drip?

What kind of lights you use for your 6*3?

I run 1x1000hps over each 6x3 tray. I use light rails.there in g.a.p. hoods. I will share my grow in its own thread as soon as adm. Let's me. I'm still restricted cause I'm new. I like your set up and attitude for sure. I will watch your grow.

Emitters

That's a clean set up bud. I'm going add another table and 1k this fall, summer growing in an attic requires me to run a power hungry ac unit. Let me know when your thread is up. I want to follow yours and see how that drip set-up compares to flood and drain. Stay safe

I also see you use the Nutra•Drip is it true digital ballast throw it off or you using magnetic ballast?

Nothing really throws of a trimeter except if you let it dry out. The little ones in that picture are today at 31 days into the bloom cycle. I will post it as soon as I have permission from administration.
