This years Winter grow didn't have a great start. First problem the RDWC system had bad leaks and I couldn't find replacement seals. I had been wanting to try a flood and drain system, Artisun to the rescue, Artisun will also come to the rescue latter in this long and boreing story.
The flood and drain system is set up and working, manuely. The control box is defective. Power on; Flood pump was powered and the only way to control the "flood pump" was to either de-power the control box or unplug the pump. I spent yesterday afternoon confirming the control box was FU with Artisun tech support, at least they have support. Bottom line a new control box is on its way.
The grow is finally set: there are six plants in the flood and drain system in the tent, there are four plants in 5 gal fabric buckets outside.
The tent set up:
I had the outdoor plants in the tent for a couple of days to make sure the transplant was OK is the reason the floor is so dirty, it is impossiable to water and move around the bags without spillage.
BTW, as you can tell from the tech support part of the post I was able to contact support at Artisun and order new seals for the RDWC system. Plans may change but I expect the RDWC system will be setup and used to grow tomatoes and peppers late winter/early spring.
