Super simple ebb & flow buckets - Indoor Grows - Hydro - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Hello and happy holidays to all

This is my first thread and my computer skills are lacking so bear with me. I am a medical MJ user and decided to start growing my own again about 6 months ago. My first grow i used 3 Waterfarms given to me by a friend. They woked well but in my small space, 2'x3'x8', and without a controller and rez, they were a pain in the ass to maintain. Ebb & flow always worked well for me so i started doing a little research. The Multi Flow really caught my eye but the price made my head hurt

Also, the seperate rez and controller were a problem as well. I found a neat system that used 2 liter bottles and 16 oz solo cups that used a PVC "grid" with an overflow to controll the height of flood. So i decided to combine the two using 3.5 gallon Multi Flow style buckets.

Wow, that's a super innovative design. Very cool! Look at that plant growth- unbelievable. :smile: Can't wait to see more of this system in action.

Good mornin Shorts! nice to see you here :smile: pretty neat system isnt it. Im kinda lazy and this thing is turning out to be the most user friendly system i have ever used. I ran into some problems with the plants about a week before putting them in this system but they have recovered pretty good. some more pics;

Merry Christmas Hazy and Fuzzy&Sauce! Thanks and thanks for droppin in! They are Golden Skush, a freebie from SD. I ordered some Cali-O and got these with it. Pretty killer stuff, has some interesting traits. Does not start actually flowering untill about 20 days into 12/12, and one of my favorite things is allmost no stretch! the Cali-O ended up about 5' tall and the GS barely reached 3'. Pretty nice for small spaces. The buds on the mother were large and very compact (i had a mold problem) but i kinda messed up the nutes with these so i dont think there going to be as big. We'll see. Thanks again you guys and have a great day!
