I used those rockwool cubes sitting in my AP troughs and they got way too wet and several of the seeds rotted. They really wick up any moisture, I wonder if Ryan just mists them?

The floor looks like it's designed to be flood and drain from below. I bet being in a warmer climate and good air movement have a lot to do with keeping the plants healthy.

Ryan, from the last pic, it looks like you're using grow towers on a rotator. For the life of me, I can't find the rotator in a search anywhere. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I may have to come down on an exploratory mission next month... :)

Thanks guys :)

Bio- that's actually purple broccoli Raab

Luke- it's a flood and drain table mounted on rollers so we can move it around to work the middle (also has temp controlled sump underneath)

Fishbits- sorry bud, not something I am allowed to disclose.

Captain Ron- good talking to you bud and glad to hear you're finally getting the system cycled. hope to see it take off soon.

Sorry Fishbits!

Antenaman- thx! I believe they are about 12 weeks old right now from seed

J&J- thx! it's called a "bell cherry" and looks like a tiny bell pepper when close up.

Big stuff happening. Hopefully I can go into more detail next week :D
