digital timer for 500 GPH pump:

7am on 7:05 off
11am on 11:05 off

Interesting.

Very impressive. Is there a lot of maintenance?

 

[davefrommd]

almost no maintenance, I just mixed about 100 more gallons of nutrients as when the tomato plants grow like trees they get more thirsty. The timer for the nutrients was set first to turn on 4 times a day for 4 minutes, I change the time to 6 minutes. Once everything is set up the hydroponic garden takes care of itself. the only think I had to do is tie up the tomato plants. these are brandywine tomato plants and black cherry tomato plants.
