Hydroponics How To: How to Build a Flood and Drain Hydroponic System

[oaknutz]

wow, that guy is a clown...

[dzippere]

Are you just sitting those STG blocks on the table? What keeps the block (and plant) from falling over once the plant is tall? Do you wedge as many blocks as u can in there to keep them stable or are you using a slab of some kind?

@thegame52291 I KNOW your MOM gives good head! I think you know that too ;)

[Nator187]

Would you want to put the feed and return on opposite sides of the tray? I'm thinking it might help to force the old water out of the tray if the new water is coming in from the other side? Thanks

@SECONDSHIFTLIVE , Now Now, JB's the average Joe, know nothing grower, believe me, he makes many people feel a lot better about their lack of knowledge and skill. Ya gotta love the guy and he is entertaining. Give the boy his due. Thanks for the comment and the view. Are you an STG guy?? Love to hear about that if you are.

[Zeffrin101]

[SureToGrowers]

I agree, I'd rather be safe than sorry,  Be sure to use a food grade plastic for health reasons alone.

Ive used my heavy duty tote for a couple years now and only grew an extra testy so no problem! Just kidding I can vouch for these containers just for the pure strength they have. other rubbermaid containers get weak and can break under the water weight. If you are using the flood and drain system i would make a complete stand for the flood table so you can access the res a lot easier.

[SureToGrowers]

LOL! Glad you have put them to test, or testy! The table or stand is the most important part of the system, as it truly makes things easier when you don't have to fight with your reservoir just to add water or nutes. You can buy table legs at home depot for $20, add a piece of wood, and you're ready freddy!

where can you buy sure to grow products like the one in this video

[SureToGrowers]

Are you looking to purchase a system like this one? What specific product are you referring to? Hydrofarm carries the full STG line, so ask your local retailer to order some in for you.

[itcantalk]

what are the fittings? also i am not going to not use hydraton

[illbefuct]

Ha Ha Ha Yeah i hate washing my balls LOL... I like the depth of the table/tray.

[SureToGrowers]

These trays work awesome for use with individual mesh bottom pots! It won't drain completely like the "real thing", but works excellent for the average DIY'er. It's also very close to a 2'x3' tray for only $12! You simply can't beat that!

[SureToGrowers]

I cannot vouch for the "home depot" storage tote that was used in this video. The intent was solely for demonstration purposes, and would go with a rubbermaid to be safe.

Sure To Grow® is made from food-grade polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene (PE), the same material that is used in manufacturing soda bottles, clamshell packaging, microwave food trays, food package films, and milk jugs. PET and PE are considered by technological experts and industry professionals to be the safest food-packaging product on the market today.

Where do you get the drain fittings? I checked with plumbing shops, lowes and HD, and they didn't have any idea. Thank you, great video!

[SureToGrowers]

You're looking to create a "bulkhead" You can try using threaded PVC fittings, but you'll be way happier just making that... the one part you always buy from the hydro store. It really performs better, and much easier to install and manage. Botanicare as well as CAP make a wonderful flood and drain fittings kit.

@SureToGrowers Awesome thanks!
