Number 3 Why Use an Ebb and Flow System?

The Ebb and Flow system allows changing of nutrients and pH testing without disturbing the plants. A valve on the reservoir tanks makes it even easier!

Number 2 Why Use an Ebb and Flow System?

Number 2)   

The Ebb and Flow system provides a "blast" of oxygenated nutrients to the roots for short periods allowing the media to hold and maintain moisture during the ebb cycles. This gives the roots a larger quantity of fresh air expose and stimulates the plants natural reaction of expanding the root base.

Why Use an Ebb and Flow System?

Number 1)  

The Ebb and Flow system allows flexibility in nutrient temperature because of the separate reservoir. By having the ability to shade, mechanically cool (chiller), or even partially bury a nutrient reservoir, efficient temperatures can be maintained in the heat of the summer or the dead of winter. This keeps the roots from excesses and stress.
