Indoor kfigerm tries his best

[The Iconoclast]

If it's leca/hydroton/etc., It won't hold much liquid and remains fairly light. Any weight will be liquid in the tray and of course the plant itself.

I've never done flood&drain so I'm not sure about this, but flood table drains and valves might work for your situation? They're pretty cheap.

While it does become flood and drain, my intention is to just flood and have the plant do the draining like an auto-pot. I got a delivery of glass straws to check the level.

slowly they take up growth.
They are 15,25 and 36 cm high and we grow nicely. Roots not established well under the pyramid. I am watching that this time.
Slightly cleaned up the AS (back,right) while the other two do not qualify for further messing around yet.

Very different development.
There will be some surprises until harvest i guess.

Have a good time and stay safe.
Cheers!
