Well since I can’t get the pic up...
6 netted pots 5 inches apart in a 12 gallon 1 foot high Rubbermaid. Each pot has a 2GPH dripper to it. The drippers on a 125 GPH submersible pump. The pots are suspended just above the reservoir which is aerated by a 10in air stone. The grow medium is 3/4 crushed granite and perlite mix.

Like I said above I don’t know how long to run the drippers but I think 30 on 30 off would not be bad.

If somone can delete all the other posts on this thread that would be good - Sorry for the bad posts

sounds like 1st attempt @ hydro? go wiht flood & drain or DWC for ease & simplicity. the simpler solution is always the best, especially with 1st go @ hydro. r

P.S. ditch all lights ohter than a 400W MH or stronger or all your effort wont be worth a piss in a bucket.

not advisable fellow rider : ), if your gona use just 1 grow medium in hydro set
up use either clayballs ,rockwool, cellmix or coco core (drainage is the key) i
prefer clayballs with a either jiffy plug or a rockwool cube at the centre .

peace
