How Do I Use The Flood & Drain Complete System Kit?
The frequency of watering will heavily depend on the substrate you choose. Faster draining mediums such as Clay Balls, Growstones or Perlite require as many as 8 flood cycles a day whereas slower draining substrates like Soil or Coco require fewer flood cycles, as few as 1 per day.
As plants get larger, they use an increasing amount of Nutrients and Water per day. This means you need to ensure you keep on top of your reservoir and nutrient concentration. You'll need to pair nutrient and reservoir maintenance with making sure your flood schedule accommodates the increasing hunger of your growing plants.
