    Default Ebb 'n Flow vs DWC?

    I am planning on building a dwc or an ebb and flow grow. I cant decide on which to do. Any opinions on which is easier for a hydro newbie? I already have the lights and the room done.

    Which is more productive??

    Well, hydroponics means working water. I would say ebb&flow is more productive because the water is working more. DWC is a passive system of hydro, so the water doesn't work as much.

    Hmmm.

    Everything I have read has suggested DWC because of its simplicity I guess. I still dont know which one I should build. Im having trouble finding DIY parts for Ebb&flow i.e. the tray! I cant see spending 100 bucks on a plastic tray. if someone could point me in the right direction


    I will even take some advice on another type of system if anyone has any opinions (with cost in mind)

    DWC all the way dude... you'll have the fastest growing plants with dwc. larger buds as well.

    at my buddys we use drip system 4 our mother plants & ebb flow for flower.
    for flower stage ebb-flow is the best it allows the roots 2 take full advantage off the water. due 2 the flooding part. with a drip system not all the root mass is getting wet. we are actually thinking about turning our drip system into ebb-flow as well so the mothers can grow faster than they are so clones are thicker.
    everything i talk about post or say is false & a lie, just trying to fit in. all pics are from high times & are not of my own. thank u for your time.

    dwc and aeroponics are the two highest yielding systems. the dwc is way easier to do. dwc and aero offer a constant feed of oxygen and nutes. a dwc plant in a 5 gal bucket or 1 aero plant produces upto 3x a plant in ebb and flow so if you are limited in space youll get more buds with less plants. ebb and flow is great just not best.

    holding it down for all the ebb/flow growers out there.

    Ebb/Flow = little maintenance, easy build, great looking plants.

    well I want to raise mothers and clones indoors to transport outside so would a small ebb and flow be better for the mothers? Im thinking something like the aerocloner would work well for the clones. Also can I transport clones from Hydroton to soil?
