Ebb and flow (also known as ‘flood and drain’) is a simple hydroponic growing method that’s cheap and easy to set-up and relatively hassle-free to maintain. Growers enjoy bigger yields over hand-watering and are freed up from the chore of daily manual irrigation. We explain everything you need to know about ebb and flow in under six minutes – check this out!
Hello, greetings from Argentina. Of all the systems that you could try, which one do you recommend the most?
This video is great but the actual easiest method is Non Circulating Hydroponic Method.
So the they don’t receive any water at night?
Looks expensive.!
Could you not talk faster??
My first table , 1997 hydro farm
It was orange I think .
Wish I still had it !
Love how you breaking down the math and this
From my experience, 15 minute flooding isn’t too long. I had the eco100 for a 7 gal system with hydroton pebbles, flooded my roots 3 times per day (4 times when plants got bigger) for 20 minutes each flood, and they grew just fine. The exact timing of lights and feeds aren’t that important either. If you think about it, in nature, when it rains, it is usually cloudy, and can be for several hours as it rains. Sure, the plants have sun exposure after the rain when the ground is still wet, but plants can grow with multiple consecutive rainy days with significantly reduced light. It can also rain at night. Maybe it’s optimal to time floods with light, but far from necessary. I haven’t tried timing my floods with lights, but I would think timing it shows diminishing returns. The key for hydroponics is having the nutrients readily dissolved in water, rather than have it be in the soil and waiting for rain.
Loved. Just had to ruin it at the end.
Conflating love with the commercial viewer interest of this product is weird.
So I gotta love you to to subscribe .
Well, ok then.
I am officially proclaiming my Brotherly love for you personally and not this product.
Our love will be a strong one.
Not a boastful love nor one subject to the changing tides.
*see what I did there
cool vid, thx
Seems way too much work compared to RDWC unless you’re doing commercial then this would be better
Why such a massive reservoir for such a small tray?
How often and for how long do you flood? Thank you.
Best video ever, short, sweet and straight to the point! Thanks!
Do you have to flush your plants after 3-4 days of watering with liquid fertilizer?
wait, this isn’t squid music-
set up time best for anthurium? thank you
everything about this video screams 2014, its a fucking time piece.
Now the real reason why you should not buy plastic trays from your local hardware store.The trays that is not designed for hydroponic application are porous which means it traps nutrient salts and it will leak back into your nutrient solution.
Hi, Your videos are very useful. Great work.
Do you any other supplier of EBB and flow Tray?. Because the one you suggested is not shipping tray to India.
Please let me know if you have any other alternative. Many thanks.
One can grow fantastic cannabis with hydroponics and ebb and flow.
Quality video. Thank you.
This is so awesome, it answers questions I didnt even know i had about this Hydro method. lol . Would you say this is the best hydro method for tomatoes ?
Interesting but you are talking waaaay toooo fast!
This video is off the hook
There is a ebb and flow vs top feed drip on a controlled test… The top feed drip system yielded 1/3 more fruit
I’ve been using ebb and flow since the 80’s and it’s the only way to grow. Plants grow like some sort of plant monster in a Japanese anime movie. General Hydroponics is the cheapest fertilizer I can find and it works great.
I started with a deep water culture, as it is even simplier in setup. I’ve had the biggest yields i’ve ever seen!
But there are some parameters that you need to watch carefully.
1. humidity (provoked mold/fungus) 2. ec and 3. ph that becomes quite unstable the bigger your plants are and the more they suck.
I wanted to hear ebb and flow Marina best girl fight me 😉😉😉😉😉😉
I notice most Ebb and Flow systems don’t have covered reservoirs, meaning light is always touching it, does this not promote Algae and root rot? Some videos I see with Ebb and Flow have lots of algae in the table but plants seem healthy?
Your knowledge is so powerful, I love that you freely share it
I heard "mature" root… so if I transplant. Should I top feed for hiw long
*Gentlemen,*
Resevoirs should have at least a few air stones.
Hi, great video thank you, I do have one question.. do you pop a seed straight into the say rockwool or do u germinate elsewhere first, many thanks
Thanks for the passionate lecture.
I have a question. Some people put LECA balls on the surface of the EBB bed. Is there any reason for doing that? Is it necessary or recommended or not that worthy for?
Those power outlets should be higher
All very easy to make yourself like all hydro systems are.
I hate to tell you this man but most of your viewers on this video are from splatoon 2 ….
how much irrigation in 24/7 hours ? For example coco coir or rockwool?
I know this is old, but at around 2:00, he says you need both holes at the lowest end of the tray. But, his holes are in two different spots?
Hello! Thank you for this great video. My question is, since we don’t have a top on the large tray, doesn’t the light exposure make more algae ? I just bought a 4×8 ebb and flow tray and the stand and a 55gal reservoir underneath. I plan to grow all things lettuce and leafy greens. What would you recommend I use for the media inside the net cups? Also won’t the roots eventually grow outside of the net cups and intertwine with each other? Pelase feel free to email me so I can get more info from you. Turnkey316@gmail.com I’m happy to pay for your time. What is the nutrition measurement thing you are using?
If the solution fully drains which pipe does it use to do that?
Bro Nintendo really entering the gardening market
Great video! Is it acceptable to use a bell siphon in hydroponics like you would in aquaponics?
15 minute feeding does work. I’ve seen it done. Pot size and plant size come into that equation as does the power setting on the feed pump. EG: If you run the pump at half power than it will take twice as long to pump the nutrient and the plants will receive roughly the same amount as they would running for 7 minutes at full power pump pressure. As long as the plants have drained fully and the gap before the next feed is long enough it will work. It’s not ideal but I have seen it done and I know it works.
When doing mmj clones from 1" rockwool how many times a day must you flood and drain? 10 mins flood each time? lmk and thanks!
How can it drain if the overflow pipe is higher than inflow?
Where did you get that shallow inlet??
New splatfest looks tight
