FLOOD & DRAIN - EBB & FLOW
Figure 9.6 - This is a popular Ebb and Flow system on the market
today. All hydroponics systems can be used to grow cannabis.
An Ebb and Flow is another all in one system that is
recognized by its depth. The grow medium is located above the
reservoir which pumps the nutrients and water to the roots at a set time
and rate. This means that during the day the plant will go through
spells of dryness. The nutrient solution is pumped into the medium
and is slowly drained back into the reservoir again. The whole unit
recycles the nutrient solution at timed intervals.
