Yep.

Hempy Bucket

Pros.
Really simple.
Cheap.
Good for biggners.

Cons.
Slower than active hydro
You must hand water

Ebb and Flow

pros.
Speedy growth
Ortomated watering
Reliable system
Easy to use

Cons
Not as fast as Airo and DWC
Must have a high room.
A little harder to set up.

DWC and Airo

Pros
Really fast growth.
Easy to set up.
No midum required

Cons
Lots of factors to think about.
You need a reliable power supply


There are probably more pros and cons, that is just to get you started.
Take a look at those systems by searching and see what you think.

My Current set up is a DWC, It works really well, only drawback i have had with it so far was mold but thats probably due to my grow room and not my system. anyways here is a link to a simple system... you may want to build something a bit bigger, but it will give you a basic idea

I'm also growing DWC at the moment.

I am using Earls System.

Read these two threads. They are simpley brillant. I have been following these instruction and have so far had no problems.

There is a lot to think about in DWC, you will need to spend 30mins per rez each day and you will need a bit of equpment, it's pretty much all covered in those articles but a couple of things I would make sure you have are.

An enzyme (these really help keep your roots healthy)
Two air pumps per Rez
Some way of keeping your REZ at a cool 68F, very important.

Here is a pic of my grow a couple of days ago.
There are 8 clones in this pic, they are 27 days into flowering.

PS. although I have had really good results with DWC, I am going to try Ebb and Flow for my next grow. I am going to do this because DWC takes to much metanance, and I plan on being away for the odd weekend during the summer months.
