Anyone ???
Id Say EBB +FLOW With Hydroton Clay Pebbles Is The Best Hydro System Out As When It Drains The Hydroton Suck In Air you Can Hear Them Like Rice Chrispies :-P Dwc Great Yield So Id Say Go Ebb+Flow DWC Would Be Awsome Mate But Id Just Stick To EBB+FLOW Nice And Simple With Excellent Results :lol:

Yo DrGreen thanks man! im thinking about going with both since i got everything i need to make it why not try it out i know one guy who told me he once saw one like that and he told me it worked like a turbo hydro :) and thats what we all want right ;)
But if anybody else out there who has done something like this combining the two please tell...

DWC = Fastest growth rates and simple to make, but requires daily attention for optimum growth

EBB & FLOW = Fantastic growth, easy to make, easy as hell to maintain and operate.

Combining together = Probably a waste of time but it's always fun to experiment.

I agree with sativaplanet. you have to be real careful with DWC not to keep the medium wet-you can use the drip until the roots are long enough to dip into the res but I wouldnt go further than that. I have tried the combo of both, and most times the roots/plant were not nearly as performing as either Ebb and Flow or DWC seperately.

I like a dwc/bubble, drip system and fogger. I use 2, 4 foot rubber air lines. 10 plants will be tight, but good luck.
