Hi,
I was thinking of using a flood and drain system , with separate cycle for each macro nutrient , rather then mixing them. I believe it will allow for finer control over nutrients and their quantities.
Has anybody tried this before ?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Shay
Yes, that is exactly the idea.
If possible I would even use 3-4 nutrient reservoirs
The main goals are
-to have finer understanding and control over how plants use nutrients including which ones, how much , at what times , etc...
- reduce work and waste by avoiding the need to flush the whole system every 2 weeks.
- Ability to efficiently mix different types of plants using the same tray.
Unfortunately, it seems that there is very little info on the subject. But,, I have all the parts that I need and I getting ready to launch an experiment.
Maybe I should start a blog or a wiki detailing the results.
