I love my dwc set-up. Great for seedling, great for cloning. The hardest thing w/dwc is water changes when plants are big. I have 2 identical containers for water changes, also built a small pcv bench to rest top on so made it very easy for myself.

E&F - hands down. For simplicity, forgiveness, and ease of maintenance and operation. Period.

I'm about to purchase a *true* aeroponics system. It will also have an ebb and flow system. I'm totally stoked about this grow; got my beans germing right now.

I'll be using the Nutramist fogger, not "sprayers". True aeroponics must have a droplet size of 5 microns or less; that's what I was told anyway.

I read Al B Fuct's post and now I'm gettin kinda worried. I use an ebb and flow system and my plants are in rock wool. I have the timer set to water them three times a day (you know breakfast, lunch, and dinner lol) for 15 minutes. I have been growing them for almost 6 weeks now and they look fine but will all the excess of water cause anything bad to happen to the end product? Like worse bud or something?

Hey techgrower, get ur self, a small water pump with an inlet and outlet and some hose. u can pump the water out without ever having to bother ur plants or touch the lids.

That's easy! The best system is the one that you can grow good buds in.

well after quite a few successful soil grows over the years i thought id try nft, so i bought a complete system around £70 ( $140 ? ), nothing fancy, holds about 8 plants. Anyway harvested 3 weeks ago and i can honesty say after smoking weed for around 18 years it is the best bud ive EVER smoked. The yield is maybe a third + to what i was getting in soil. The ease of use is unbelievable, no hassles, no bugs, no dirt, just lush clean bud, the only thing is i wish i went nft years ago.
I cant vouch for other methods as i havnt tried em, but for me nft is the absolute bollox.

I am having success with the MultiFlow. Water schedule = 30 minutes every 12 hours for 36 pots. Nute Soup = House & Garden. Very reliable, user friendly and H&G provides simple to follow charts for mixing their products through the entire cycle.
