Im wondering what the difference between the 2 are and what are the pros and cons of each? I plan on getting the DWC Grower's choice kit with the dual spectrum 2 fluro light kit from Stealth Hydro

SH Hydroponics > DWC Grower's Choice Kit

Let me know what you guys think!

What is bubbleponics? The system you are showing is a DWC, the only thing extra it has I believe is a drip irrigation system. One of the biggest problems I see with that system is a 6 gallon resevoir. It appears in the pictures to be 1/2 way decent sized, but in all reality it is very small. The problems I would see with this is once your plants get fairly large in size if you were to grow from seed is the amount of nutrient uptake would constitute religious checking of the resevoir. I prefer the larger resevoirs, more like 20 gallons or so, just in case the plants go on a feeding frenzy there is a buffer of sorts with the extra nutes in there. Now if you don't mind checking the resevoir constantly it IS a good way to save money on nutrients since you are only filling a 6 gallon resevoir. The drip irrigation, though I have never used it, seems a bit unneccesary to me. In DWC your roots are practically sitting in the solution anyway so what benefit does it have to drip down? I dont' know the answer to this, but so far I've been fine with the results of not having the drip. I have heard though that their support is really good, but then again we do have RUI here, and this site is by far the best support system I have yet to see. If money is not an issue, I would go for it just to check it out. Myself I prefer building my own and taking the extra money and investing in PH meters and PPM meters. If you were to buy this system make sure you buy a good digital testers. Without a good tester you are working blind and without lady luck on your shoulders, you are pretty much setup for failure. Good luck in your decision.

Thanks for your input and advice! I am just planning on a small closet grow with 4-6 plants.

Im looking for something small and easy to maintain. im leaning towards the dwc since it is a bit cheaper. what you guys think?

bubbleponic is kinda bs, just go with dwc you'll get probably the same result as long as you know how to maintain your water level and keep the nutrient aerated.

bubbleponic just pumps water with air bubbles into the netpot of your plants which hold the plant. If you want this it can easily be done with a 264pump and it should hhave a head for a airhole where you pump air in there and leave it in your res and it will pump that aerated water to your netpots.

Btw im going to be building a Bubbleponic NFT system soon, i believe this will work better then the bubbleponic because the roots won't be sitting in the nutrient water but running oxygenated water. PM me if you'd like to see my design or you can wait till i make one a post some pictures.

thx for the advice. you have a pm

Which dwc is best? is there an advantage to buying the bucket system over the 4 hole version? I want to grow in my apartment closet away from prying eyes. I can build something to go around it once i decide on what to buy.

1 plant bucket system you can grow a bigger plant. 4 hole system your palnts will be smaller but more plants. Both grow very fast.

Im still kinda new to this but i made a 10 gallon rez DWC and my plants are loving it just last night they grew a half inch
They are only about a week and a half old so they are still pretty small but the rez fits in closet nicely
