    I learned how to set up a rack and grow microgreens from you guys...now I want to do the flood and drain system. Space is a problem for me though. Thanks you Mandy and CJ!!!

    Hi sending you both Blessings from Anguilla🇦🇮 in the Caribbean🖐🏾Loved the video. I have gotten all the info for what I need to start from you guys, so I am just working on my funds for it. You guys are turning me into a female farmer🤣 We don't have much females that farm where I am from. I have your book in my cart on Amazon. When is it going to be back in stock? I prefer to have a hard copy. Thanks for always being such a breath of fresh air and for having such awesome personalities 🤗 In these unpredictable times, Some might not say it but you do brighten my day by making me smile. I am yet to watch a video and not laugh or smile🤣

    Great explanation of your flow system. I'm curious how much your breakdown is for your utilities supporting the trailer and all of the lights, fans, and HVAC ends up running you each month? Now I have to check out the video of the spaceman feeling the effects of earth gravity in the trailer.... ha. Thanks for the content!

    Great video, I was thinking about making a system like yours. I saw a similar system but the reservoir was a fish tank. The theory is that the fish produces nutrient for the plant.

      Yes!! Aquaponics would be the term for it. Lots of fun if you can manage it, but it has a pretty big learning curve to start. We're a bit lazier and just stick to Hydroponics for now. We will likely do some aquaponics soon though!

    This was a good video, but I now need info on what it would take to setup a watering setup like that. Hoping you have a nice top to bottom video about it.
    Also, wouldn’t the microgreens benefit from being flooded with water a few times a day like your rock wool garden? Why don’t you do that?

    I lost everything this year due to heat in my DWC, and Kratky because I am not going to run a chiller as the running costs are horrible (I know from my laser cutter), so I wonder is ebb and flow (flood and drain) more able to handle the higher water temps? At least the root rot should be less of a concern since the plants are not sitting in water 24x7, right?

    15 minutes is way too long, those trays should be flooding for 1-2minutes.

    • @OnTheGrow

      15 mins was perfect for us. We tested less time and everything dried out. If 1-2minutes works well for you, then do it! 🌱🌱
