Sorry...What does OBBT stand for?

[Kcar]

I'm lost. Preloaded Nutes, drain to waste?
Help?

Hey there Kcar buddy, you have come to the right place!

OBBT stands for Organic Bubble Bath Tub

Its a hybrid hydro system that puts huge emphasis on organics and the beneficial microbes that live off of them. Its heavily pre-loaded althrough it uses nutrient teas through flower. It is drain to waste but if you run one correctly you will not be throwing out very much wastewater.

This little corner of the forums has been half-taken-over by threads related to building and running OBBTs. The threads by users LadyLargely and rrog would be the best places to start. If you really want to get a handle on what make the OBBTs tick and learn enough about them to start experimenting yourself then you will want to read through my thread in this forum titled "new experimental organic hydro technique"

There's a ton of info floating around here about the OBBTs. Building and preparing one can be a bit tricky, but don't let that put you off. Once constructed and incubated OBBTs are, IMHO, the easiest-to-run high-performance grow method out there, especially when you compare it only to other all-organic methods.

Good luck and happy gardening!
