I built this WAY back when… Fits nicely in a closet. Cheap to build.

    I don’t think I understand the basic idea of this.

    why?

    Indoor growing. Pumps fill the cups to water the plants for so many minutes…..(ebb) and then drains out to let the roots breathe (flow). Works very well.

    While I think you described the action pretty well, don’t you have the terms backwards? The flow would be the filling of the cups, and the ebbing the emptying, no?

    Yeah, probably… . I figured it didn’t really matter as most of the people on this site 1. wouldn’t know and 2. wouldn’t give a shit. I use dirt now.

    Another way to put it is “Ebb and Flood”, so yeah, you’re totally right.

    Stop wasting your time with hydroponics and go into interior design. Your taste in furniture is incredible.
