Hey guys,

I just noticed that it has been 17 months since I last logged in, wow!

Well I am back and going to be working on a new grow. I am going to try out and ebb and flow system for my first time. Since my last grow I have done a few upgrades...

Replaced flouros and 150w HPS with a single 600w Digital HPS in a sealed reflector with both an intake and exhaust fan on the cooling lines. I am now constantly monitoring my pH and ppm levels twice a daily with the addition of a Hanna GroCheck. This is something that I never did before and have no clue what difference it was making. I have also replaced my DWC buckets with a 3x3 ebb and flow table. I have plans for (25) of these little pots to sit on it 5 wide and 5 deep.

I am currently using the same nutrients as last time (FoxFarm) and will be switching to a new blend for flower this time. I do have a question about the medium that I should be using. Is hydroton the best in these pots? The store clerk assures me that it is however a mentor of mine tells me CoCoTek.

Any advise?
