i think if u got some pots that wud fit into that tray maybe six or eight and filled the pots with clay balls or prefered medium and have to drippers going into them and out the bottom i think that wud be alot more efficient and fine for flowering at the moment ur roots really have no where to go

tnx..i was thinking about 4 plants in the tray(60x40cm)...so no bother with flooding,just dripers...this is my 1. try..but all male..:-(...well..we learn on mistakes

tnx again
