can plants get to much water with 11- system
 
Hey Ron, I am trying to grow plants in my second story APT The plants are approx 2 inc tall. the problem is light The sun rises in the east so at around 10:30am I am putting my plants towards the east and from about 12:00Pm to 3:00Pm I am using a Philips Earth light that boasts 1950 light output lumens and from 4:00pm to about 7:30 I go to the west end of my balcony will this work. Also The 11 bottle system is that a NFT System you said earlier that the pump can stay on all the time on a nft system can plants get to much water with your 11- system
Thanks
Pingman

The 11 bottle garden is an ebb and flow system. It is not designed to run all the time. An NFT system has fast flowing water that creates a lot of oxygen to prevent root rot.
