Looks good! I used to use a system called baby bloomer, it was rectangular flood table that looked very similar but of course flooded from the bottom. I used containers with clay pebbles. In all the years Of different ways I’ve always thought it was one of the best. Now I only grow one or two and do a drain to waste with other media. Good luck with all the plants that was the hardest part of that, you can’t move when they grow so light manipulation will be the trick

@@IndicasRoom, hope you caught my recent reply. Also do not worry about flushing, that is a wives tale that has gotten out of control. You cannot was out material already in the flowers, does not change taste and as far as the white ash nonsense the way your material burns is related to how it’s dried and cured. Look for more articles coming from scientists that back what I’m saying. When in a natural environment with good earth does nature take the soil away? Of course not , pure rubbish and I don’t care what the MG’s, ER’s and mr.C say!

@Topsrite, Hi, and thank you very much for your feedback and prespective. I changed for hydro 4 months ago, this is my second grow on this setup.. i was using soil for 3 years, but i became too lazy about watering my plants and i decide to change.. In 4 months i realize there are three major problems using a setup like mine, and usually people dont talk about it.. 1- You are absolutely right, light manipulation is a hell, mainly because the roots go over the pots and get into the reservoir, so the roots become stuck in the drain holes and you cant move/adjust the pots.. or you damage the roots.. 2- When the flush time arrives and you realize there are 3 of your 8 plants that need an extra week and you have to change and flush all reservoir.. so that 3 plants will get flushed too.. It happened to me last month, i was thinking about give one more week to all plants, but i didnt want mess up 5 plants so i buy another Wilma system with 4 pots (11LT, same as my bigger system). I put the 3 plants in other tent to get one more week, i re-use the solution from the main tent for this last week. 3- The plants dont have enough space on this type of system, my 8 pots system should be a 6 pot system, i think 6 plants is perfect for a 120x60 system.. My tent is 120x120 and i still have no room for 8 plants.. After all i think the best way is DWC, using individual buckets you can avoid these 3 problems.. You can move your plants and adjust to get even light, you can flush individually, and you can organize the plants in order to use the space as best as possible.. (Sorry about my english.. ) Thank you again for your comment!! Good luck with your grows !!

Yes, back in the early 90’s, yes I’m old the store I bought a mini ebb/flow from Hydrofarm, can’t even find anything about the existence of that unit, the owner of the store when I told him said cut the roots when then grew out the bottom and went towards not only the drain stem and holes but the filll tube. Remember it was a flood table , not top fed , but still had that issue. I ignored him and just kept clearing the holes. You could remove plants next time from pots and just fill entire tub with clay pebbles that plus fewer plants will work. I’ll tell you I do not grow more than 2 at a time and they are done with a drain to waste , different mediums, more work in a way , cause you hand feed but I like the end results and the ability to move plants to manipulate how they see light, 👍🏻
