Welcome bro!

Here’s a few pictures of my new ebb and flow table. It is very convenient and i am considering to install these tables in my other grow rooms too.

Yes simple perfect setup the crates are perfect i build them from plywood with pondliner(pvc) on a wooden frame
How deep is the tray?

Hamme · July 14, 2022, 1:26pm

Hey Hamme,nice to seeYou´re back! wishing You a good run

Hamme · July 15, 2022, 1:15pm

Thanks brothers, nice to see so many of you hang out here!

This Sunday the eighteen cuttings will be a week old. I know i should have done a couple of stuff differently to speed up things, but that’s the story of my life! If they survive all eighteen i’ll be a happy camper.

The plant in the bottom left crate in the left cornet is struggling the most. It seems being left is a handicap.

I did add two substitutes yesterday just in case.

Could’ve, should’ve and would’ve done this earlier in a perfect world, but that is next time or perhaps next life? Who knows? Well, let’s not get into that but i sure as hell don’t!

I took out one cutting of each crate and i noticed the cubes almost weren’t wet at all. Apparently the hydro pebbles need to be flooded more often then once each 24 hours.

It’s my first time on clay pebbles and it doesn’t go well at all. I am on the verge of aborting this grow. Only two clones are fine and the rest is degenerating more by the day.

Thats not good!
Are the bigblocks staying to wet?

Hamme · July 18, 2022, 10:14am

No, frankly the cubes of the clones i took out yesterday were hardly wet. I increased the number of flooding because of this to three times a day. I do think i have the system fine tuned now, but it may be too late for most of my clones.

Papalag · July 18, 2022, 10:18am

Sad days , But it’s early enough to start over if you think

But you got this you’ll grow through this issue

Hamme · July 20, 2022, 4:34pm

I read a lot about growing on clay pebbles to learn what went wrong and it turned out flooding two or three times a day simply isn’t often enough. I took out the cuttings and started with six Northern Light clones that i made from female seed from Sensi. Now i am flooding twelve times a day, for a quarter every other hour.
