The MAJOR advantage is the very rapid grow you get from having the feeder tubes, and the oxygen enriched nutrient water being pumped to each root base, 24/7. You have to experience it to believe it.
A DRIP system has to be on a timer, or you will drown the plant witht he constant flow. This is not a constant flow, but is a constant trickle of very bubbley water.


have you tried a side by side to see if moving the water is helpful? it seems to me like the water pump isn't necessary if the roots are in the water already.

• The water pump is moving the water, cooling it and adding oxygen to it.
• You can start seeds DIRECTLY in the cubes
• You can add cuttings and they will root
• EVEN after you get roots into the deep water, the feeder tubes encourage more rapid additonal growth

pick up hole saws for cutting the holes. I just got a hole saw kit with every size from 3/4" to 5" for $16. stick that on the end of my power drill and its makin holes til the battery dies.

sub any container with holes for a net pot. I was thinking about trying some of those green net baskets used for picking berries, but they seem a little too flimsy.

Well I'm convinced that feeder tubes on top of the air pumps will be better and will probably give it a shot next grow.
