well, thats what its looking like to me but I backed off the nutes soon ater the sour d showed signs of yellowing, last grow I saw it as a def and bumped the nutes up. I think I'm starting them too high in flower, they come out of veg at 1200 ppm or so and I put them in flower at like 1000 due to thats what the nutrient feeding schedule says, i suppose I need to customize that or just keep things low, we'll see in a few weeks or so.

FINALLY got my ebb grow setup. Only one thing, I have a leak by the check valve. Is vasoline the best thing to use to stop the leak?

Hose clamps are best

Hmm. I used those little click clamps that came with, but had no instructions. I'm still getting leaking at the check valve though... I don't want to use silicone because I have to change the hoses from time to time. Any recommendation on what clamps?

Hi All, I'm about to drop some money on a ebb bucket(CAP) or table system. The guy at the hydro store says the buckets are bad and the table is the way to go. This was because he said the buckets and lines are a pain in the ass to clean. He also said both are not the same systems. Pardon me if I'm wrong but aren't both flood type systems? One being on tables and the other individual sites.
I'm currently on a hand water system/drain to waste with Coco and I want something more automated. CAP ebb n grow seems to be the way. And I like that I can still use Coco with this system, but I may go hydroton to start since it seems to be the most common used medium.
Thanks to all who reply.

yes they are both flood and drain systems, flood tables are great for sog style growers but are not even comparable to the ebb and grow for larger plants. the system can be a pain sometimes but nothing substantial enough to drive someone away from running one, the tubing can be replaced with every grow if you want it really is simple and the hose can be had at pretty much any hardware store for cheap. the hydro shop i shopped at gave me the same bit but i got one anyway and havent looked back my system has been great so far.

Thanks for the words of encouragement Dr. I went ahead and dropped the money for the ebb n grow, regular system. I called around and a shop had one sitting and I got a pretty good deal $355 out the door. Cheapest online I could find was $360 w/o shipping, so I think I got a deal. I can't wait for things to be automated. I'll be posting pics once its all hooked up.
Quick general question, the instructions say the system runs best with 6 or more. Can I run less and be ok? I guess I would have to re-route the 3 outlets on one side back in? Right...

on my soil experiment im using just brita filtered water left out 24 hours for extra safety. it tests out at like 550ppm to start and the plants are fine. im just too lazy to bring over one of my RO from the shop and have to install it etc.

metal adjustable hose clamp with a piece of rubber in it to go over the leaking hole.
