Ebb and Flow or DWC Bubbler system

[beachbudz]

Switching to a hydro setup but can't decide which to use. Both the ebb and flow and the bubbler systems seem very easy to build and maintain. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I have an ebb and flow in my attic, and it did perform quite well..But you cant have too many plants or too many big ones with them setups.. A DWC bubbler would probably be the better choice..You can grow Huge plants and its cheap as hell to build..But, if you never grew with hydroponics,..Be extra careful..One **** up..and kiss your girlies good bye.

If I go with the DWC setup does it work o.k. to have several plants in a rubbermaid type container, or should I stick with just one plant per container? :animbong:

Got that right,..and kinda spendy(Hydro nutes etc)..Open the wallet.. No foolin' there..

I've found the dwc to be easy to run, efficient in use of space, and after initial costs- very cheap overall.

i jus threw together aload a tubs with clay pellets with my sprouts satin rok wool with an aqua farm for a tank an jus circulate water an nutrients with a fish tank pump thru a spliter that feeds my tubs an then the water drips bak in to the aqua farm . niffty (i thinkso) its my first hydro set up cheap an niffty , but after i get mi cuttings for clonin am off for an nft seems less stress to main tain . I think they work them selves just watch for salt buldup , low/high ph ,an keep the Ec at abround 2.0 easy peasy ( hope i dint jinx miself){ Jay , so far both lots are fightin fit i never seen any as fast as like hydro
