I was watching a video the other day "How to grow Chron...Lettuce" :hubba:
He was using an ebb & flow for his Flower room where he had a very large tray (probably 3x3). He installed his fill & drain fittings, put in a bunch of medium (hydroton color but it was rocks or something), set it up to flood 3x a day & that was it. It seemed so simple even I could do it. No buckets, no pvc piping....it seemed to easy to be true.
Is there anything wrong w/ this of setup?
I already built my 'bubbleponic' setup but havent used it yet....I liked his idea because it seems so much easier to change solution , build & maintain, etc.
Second: my tapwater (well water) is like 225ppm but very high in pH.
Soo..... can I just pH down my water & then add nutrients?
I called around for some r/o water & it was like $5 for 5 gallons, it seems a bit expensive considering the amount of water I will be using...... I have other plants in the house that grow just fine w/ that water that hasnt even been pH'd.
