Sounds great! I would definitely have interest in running them.

Absolutely. Remind when I get em done and I'll get a pack out to you! I'd love to see what folks can do with em.
Not too big, just less space for more numbers if thats what your going for. If your playing a numbers game I'd actually suggest larger pots and some veg time.
As for using the Mimosa pollen Im planning to hit a "Midnight Mass" from Heavyweight Seeds and I'll be hitting A "Plemon" from Breeders Boutique. I may hit a Fruity Pebbles OG after the other 2 are done? I have the "Plemon" and the "Midnight Mass" already vegging right now awaiting a spot in the flower room once this current batch is all seeded and wrapped up.

Got my meters.
Added extension cord plugs for easy light and fan connect/disconnect. Looks kinda sloppy but at least it's all one piece now, later will put together in an electrical box (when it gets here) and add fuses and hopefully DALI router (sonoff for now) for a cleaner look (might have to switch to Inventronics drivers for DALI though I'm not sure yet)...
Ready to have lights plugged in...
Plugged in and chugging..

I abandoned my project when I realized I wont be able to fit the CT into the water proof junction boxes on my build. Im looking for a larger junction box that will still fit my small framed build but allow me to hide everything in it from the AC side and the meter wiring.Got my meters.

I dont do anything to them usually. Other than fold the tops over if they get crazy with the stretch but thats about it.

So as a PSA for the folks who want to use the DIY flood n drain setup without a table (flood tray in res).
I went to Home Depot and their brand mixing trays didnt fit the "HDX" brand 27 gal totes as good as the Lowes brand items fit together. The ones I use are the "Commander XXL" brand 27 gal tote and the mixing trays are "OddJob" brand (both purchased at Lowes). If you use these 2 items together the tray will fit perfectly into the top of the 27 gal tote like they were made for this.
If you plan to run a table in your DIY flood and drain setup then none of this will concern you as both Lowes and Home Depot items will work equally as well used along with a table.

@HydroRed and @Opie1971 Thank you,the both of you for helping a f&d noobie get his shit together and the patience with all my questions.
I still have more
Is the tub suppose to drain completly or is there going to be some water left in the bottom after the flood?
Feel like a scrub asking this one,but I am s'posed to be flooding from the small side and the large side is the overflow correct?
Is the flood interval tub dependant?
During my test run of empty pots it only took 3 maybe 4 minutes to flood the pots' insides up to 3"from the top of the pot.
Here she is flooding

Now that I think of it,the tub will be dry by the next flood event.Wick action of the media,evaporation,roots etc.

If you have spares throw me on your list and let me know if you need some shipping. Your grows look great.

Yes you want to drain out the bigger fitting. My understanding is to set your timer to flood for 15 minutes every 4 hours, unless you find that you need to more often. And you want to leave about an inch of solution in the top after your pump stops and it drains.@HydroRed and @Opie1971 Thank you,the both of you for helping a f&d noobie get his shit together and the patience with all my questions.

Do you have a pump that is adjustable in how many gallons per hour?
I haven't used mine yet, but if I'm wrong Red can correct me.

Thanks Opie.
Nah no adjustable pump.Just an eco plus 185. I have a timer that I can do any time on and off down to 1 second I forget at the moment how many schedules it holds but it's more than enough for my needs.
I've found another set of tubs and totes while going back to lowes to pick up a second f&d tub and tray. It's bit more sturdier than the ones pictured. Eventually I'll get that oddjob and xxl setup. I like the space of the tubs. I'm gonna tinker with these for now and learn myself on them.
