combination of systems help!!

I want a grow box with a combination of systems but I was wondering if the top feed (drip system) negates the aeroponic system because I read that aeroponic sprays from time to time so that the roots get enough oxygen. My question is that when the top feed drips water down to the roots and keep them wet, will it defeat the purpose of the time waited (for roots to get oxygen) between the sprays of the aeroponic system? Will a combination of top feed drip system, aeroponics, bubbleponics, and dwc be good? Or do some combinations of some methods negate each other? Thanks in advance!
 
Depends on the system, if its low pressure aero then top feeding won`t make a difference as the roots are constantly wet anyway.
If its high pressure, top feeding initially gets the roots out of the net pots and then the aero takes over. If you run top drip constantly, you`d be limited by it.
If your car is moving at 70mph (aero powered), you`d gain nothing extra by getting out to push (adding top drip). Your foot is now off the gas so it`ll slow down to your (top drip) pushing speed :wink:
