  • Been growing for a few years now. Started back in 2020 during the lock down. This is only my 2nd grow with the flood and drain setup but I’m absolutely loving it! I’ve grown the original SMQ back when it was first released in Oct of 22. Great smoke! This is the Remixed version with a M/F reversal so I’m very excited see the difference between the two.

    Got the setup idea from a fellow growmie on the From Seed to Stoned discord server during the last grow off competition. I took my CAD drafting experience and mocked up what I posted below.


  • I have two pumps. One that stays in the res which handles pumping water to the table, and another that I only drop in when it’s time to dump and refill the water.

    Res pump: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003WRIWJO

    Drian/fill pump: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09ZV2364K

    The res pump uses 1/2" tubing. I did have to buy an additional adapter from the hardware store that threaded onto the pump and had the barbed end to push the tubing onto it. I spiced in two inline taps so I can cut access to the flood table and instead have it rerouted back into the res for easy mixing. The drain uses 3/4" tubing to ensure it drains more than it can fill. All tubes are zip tied to their connectors to prevent leaks.

    The drain/fill pump has a garden hose permanently attached to it. I bought one of those ball valve hose attachments so I can turn the flow of water on and off, even with the pump running. It’s a 50’ garden hose so I can snake it outside and water the grass with my old nutes to get every last bit of use out of it. To fill the res, I’m using plain old tap water for this grow. The new nute line I’m trying out, Cropsalt, recommended tap over RO if your tap water was up to par. I have a 5gal bucket that I keep the pump in. Place that sucker under the bathtub and the res fills up in a few minutes.

    Bruh, fuckin sticky is an understatement!

    Regarding my setup, I started in a 2x4 under a Migro Aray 4 and they stayed here for most of veg. While they were in their starter pots, I top watered everything but after I transplanted my final 4 into 2gal rain science bags, they were then bottom fed for the rest of their lives.

    Eventually, I got the 3x3 purchased along with the Viparspectra KS3000. After a few weeks of being in their final home, I was able to get the last components of my flood and drain setup finalized. It would have been sooner but I accidentally cracked the flood table and finding a replacement 2x2 flood table was rather difficult at that time. Out of stock everywhere!

    Here’s my full schedule. Keep in mind that I did not run any Cannazyme this grow and I only had enough boost left over for my pk 13/14 week. Outside of that week, I only ran A+B, Rhizotonic and Calmag.

  • Thanks dude! The smoke is great for only being about a week into the cure. It’s a real heavy high if I smoke multiple bowls. It smells great too. Each pheno has its own distinct smell. There’s strawberry and cream, strawberry yogurt, gassy cheese, and the last one is just overall fruity.

    I don’t have a press yet. On the list but the budget is hella tight after buying everything for the flood and drain setup. Straight kief bowls for days!
