I agree with ya, I'm thinking that Flood and drain seems to be one the best I have seen for amount outcome! Every video I have seen shows very good results from this method, can't wait to try it!

lol i know it can b abit testy when it comes 2 nutes
but ive grow this strain many times now
nft soil and now flood and drain lol
i added the air stones
because at harvest on the last crop
i could smell abit of rott
due 2 how much water was left in the pots after draining
and yes cashcrops i was very impressed
with the flood and drain
i went from half a zip per plant with nft
2 around 2 an a half zips per plant with flood
and im expecting more now as its a bubbler aswell now

^^ Nice! Have you considered UV light for the flowering stage? I have read that in small doses 3-4hrs with your normal lighting cycle that it helps produce more tricombs because the plant creates it like a sun block.

no never tried uv i will look it up tho
hey shadow
i had a 13 foot nft used 2 put about 130 plants in it
but yield was nothing 2 write home about
i did a side by side with nft and my brothers flood and drain
he did 16 plants and got 120 or so zips
i got 70 hence my flood and drain lol
maybe the plants blocked light from each other ?

his were around 5 foot id say but some were as tall as me
and im 5,8"
nft nutriant film tecnique
its where u run water across the bottom of the tray constanly
and the roots grow in 2 matting lol
my advice would b
go 2 the free vids post
and watch a few of those
they will give u good idea of the diffrent systems,lighting and lingo thats used
i use mine for reference all the time lol
and watch as many as u can as they all cover things a little diffrently
hope this helps

I just wanna clarify, the bucket system is ebb and grow. Ebb and flow uses tables. And personally, I think ebb and flow outproduces ebb and grow in terms of square foot of garden space.
