How to Set Up a Basic Flood and Drain (Ebb & Flow) Table for Hydroponics

I found squid in my drain

That was super simple! thanks for the idea!

Nope. Never used an epp and flow system before, have you? It shows. Who the hell is going to disconnect the water pump tube and manually drain the table over and over? Come on man, if you're gonna do it, do it right.

To drain your tray simply remove this drain nozzle so you’ve got automatic system that you have to manually drain the other hole is simply there is a overflow people you don’t put the secondary nozzle in place when the pump stops pumping it drains back through the pump too much of this content with people that don’t know what they’re doing This is something that could completely destroy someone’s grow hopefully most will see this is the obvious solution😡😡😡

Just change out the drain line with a DIY bell siphon and your done… it'll naturally flood and drain over and over all day long… can add an additional drain as an emergency encase the bell siphon clogs.

How high do you place your overflow spout above the bottom of your tray?

lol you are removing your drain manually? delete yourself joker

first time caller,,i have a flood and drain hydro system, not sure how long to leave roots in water before draining back? and how many times a day?

Bro, why are you pulling the drain fitting to drain??? Just unplug the system and it should drain back via pump side unless you have it blocked up or setup incorrectly.

I found a way of simplifying and have done 6 runs testing it as well as keeping my moms on it…
instead of drilling two holes and adding the expensive flood and drain tubes and grates simply drill one 2" hole on one side (not bottom). Make your table uneven so water flows from one side to the opposite where the hole is situated. I put 3/4" thick polyester batting on the floor with a long tail running out our 2" hole straight back into the reservoir which is positioned to silently catch the water flowing along this tail. Make a T pipe with many outlets to feed the table on the high side by placing it under the batting. Water will work its way down to the hole…. as the plants grow, they will block the hole and the water will rise higher in the 15 minutes the pump is running, as it takes longer to fall out the restricted hole. I have managed to make 2" thick roots like this. A simple pump sits in the res and feeds the Tfor 15 minutes every 6 to 3 hours (getting shorter as the plants grow larger). You can check it out on my chan.

I discovered a great compilation of videos that will help on Fast track grower

worst video ever,dude is talking out his ass to make a youtube channel

1:17 Where can i buy a Tray like this?
It should be in the size 1m x 1m x 20 cm

What sort of stupid remove the drain fitting to drain?

uhhhh manual flood and drain? Looks like a pain in the ass plus most people dont have time to baby sit their hydro system, a timer would make this alot easier and use a air pump with a air stone to circulate the res..just my 2 cents

please contact me i have a product you would be very intrestid justinkenmac@gmail.com we have a predone flood table with a buit in res

this video is good quality and he knows what he is talking about. this was the only good video on ebb and flow that I have seen sor far. and you can see what this guy is really doing!
