Hi John, thanks this is the kind of input that I need. My ebb and flow system would consist of a submersible-pump in a water source. It would not dry out it I have the timer set to water often, right? I was also thinking that the frequent watering would also mean frequent nutrient delivery for the heavy feeder. Sir, sincere thanks for your advice. I am just trying to clarify these points. Good thoughts to you. =^)
