Ebb and flow is also known as flood and drain hydroponics. This system delivers the water, nutrients, and oxygen to the roots of the plants in cycles. The growing area is flooded with the water and nutrient solution, and then drained. Flooding occurs and then the growing medium is allowed to dry out before the flooding happens again. This works well because the roots of the plant are forced to grow to search for moisture. The more a plant’s root system grows, the better it can absorb the nutrients and the faster the whole plant will grow.
