The Nutriculture Ebb and Flood System
At the set times solution rises up from the reservoir into the media and pushes out stale air, allowing the roots take up whatever nutrients and water they need. Every Nutriculture Ebb & Flood kit now includes our unique Express Drain. When the flood pump switches off the Express Drain creates a powerful vacuum which pulls water back into the reservoir with a rush of fresh oxygen rich air. This fresh oxygen-rich air nourishes the roots leading to more productive growth and bigger yields.
The top tray of the Nutriculture Ebb & Flood has a new design so water runs to the drainage point more quickly where the Express Drain can do its work.
Clay pebbles hold very little moisture, so between feeds roots have excellent access to oxygen, you must increase feed timings as the plants grow to ensure they receive enough water.
