Default Which one has faster growth? DWC or Ebb & Flow?
I'm doing it in an Emily's Garden (DWC) but am converting to Ebb and Flow.

In your opinion, which grows faster? DWC or Ebb and Flow?

Or does it not matter?

Thanks.

cant say ive tried either, but ive heard good about both. i am using drip irrigation for my system and the growth has been exponential. the roots dont have to search for food because it is delivered from the top and trickles over the roots. This is just for my veg box. i am going to go with the ebb & grow 12 bucket system for my flowering room. I plan on using a dwc for my mothers also. once ive got all 3 running i can probly give you a better idea of which grows faster. but basically the point is. hydroponics grows faster than soil no matter what method

That's a good question, i'm not sure. I do a lot of DWC and DWC w/ a fogger (aero/hydro). I was looking at doing ebb and flow too but never got to it. I wouldn't think that there was a huge difference but let's wait to hear.

i think the only ebb and flow system i would go with would be a modular multi-bucket type system. that way each plant is self contained and you dont have plants just straight up in a planter tray filled with hydroton. But thats just my 2 cents

both can have same result, for hydroponic aero is the fastest. The ideal here is to give the roots as much air as you can that is what will accelerate growth.
