I ran flood and drain with hydroton, but that was over a decade ago. Not a lot different than running coco, or dwc. An inert medium that you supply all nutritional needs. Temps are a bit low for optimal growth. Temps would be fine under HPS (72-76), but without the IR, temps need to be 78 to 82 to hit optimal growth.
thanks guys I dont know what this setup is called or if it's even possiable to finish the 2 other times they vegged great using AN neutrants with tea of recharge have done a couple runs with this setup not with autos though it has too sets of drippers 5 on each ring but in a different room and just got into flowering bout 3 weeks or so until I couldn't take the ol lady's mouth anymore never all the way through and of corse the weather decided to be 32 at night and 45 in day im throwing 2000 watts of led bestva at them today will keep updated

thanks Arthur lol I will keep updated
FYI if you’re running an inert medium with led. They WILL need plenty of cal mag. Also measure your leaf surface temps not your room temps. I keep my thermometers at the canopy plus have a laser thermometer as well. Keep mine at the high seventies low to mid eighties
yeah I am running si and cal mag
