Beginner Flood/Drain Rig
 

I just harvested and am eating the salad as I type this...

--18 Gallon tote with drain table on top. Running approx 8 gallons of nutrient solution allows for proper table fill and pump submergence.
--200W pump with in-line valve to control flow and a 4W air bubbler on a timer to run for 15 min. every 6 hours.
--(3) 23W CFL "daylight" bulbs on 12 hour on/off cycle.
--Room temp. is about 68 deg. F.
--Used the "General Organics" line and adhered to their feed schedule.

The plants up front are basil, and in the back are lettuce. Seeded on Jan. 2, 2012.

WTF!


Anyway... Swainer looks good, tastes better grown yourself!
