Flood duration

How long should I flood the tray? (flood duration)
充水一次應該維持多久時間(針對部分水耕系統如ebb & flow system而言)##CONTINUE##

Flood duration should never exceed thirty minutes total, from the start of the flood until the tray has drained back to the reservoir.
從開始充水到所有水流回主水箱為止
整個過從絕對不應該到30分鐘這麼久

Often times, the companies that manufacture ready made systems like hydrofarm, furnish those half hour increment "pull up" tripper type timers, simply because they're the cheapest item to furnish and not necessarily because they are the right thing for the best results with ebb & flow.
市面上製造套件系統的公司像是hydrofarm常常提供那種只能精確到半小時的計時器
只因為那是能提供的最便直的而不是因為對ebb & flow系統而言是能得到最好的結果的

It is best to purchase an inexpensive digital timer to handle the floods, since they allow you to program better flood times. The optimum flood is just long enough to allow the flood to reach the correct flood depth, plus a few minutes to allow the nutrients to wash thru the planters, carrying away accumulated salts from the planters.
最好是去買一個不貴的數位式計時器來控制充水時間的長短
因為數位式計時器可以設定較佳的充水時間
最佳的充水時間是剛剛好達到滿水位之後再多個幾分鐘讓營養營液可以沖洗過整個盛水器
把累積的鹽帶走

Try to have the total time not exceed twenty minutes if possible, and never allow it to exceed thirty minutes total time. With the megagarden for example: The system reaches desired flood depth in less than four minutes and drains away in about five minutes, so a ten minute flood allows pleanty of time and finishes the task in roughly fifteen minutes total.
可能的話試著讓整個過程不要達到20分鐘
而且絕對不要達到30分鐘
以megagarden系統來說
水位達到標準需要4分鐘流回水箱需要5分鐘
所以10分鐘的充水過程絕對足以讓整個過程在15分鐘內完成
