Is any of the systems forgiving more or less with temperature are they all about the same? THanks

ebb & flow really isnt hurt by res temps


res temps are crucial to systems like dwc/bubbleponics and aero type setups...

i use a a homemade dwc made out of a 30 gallon rubbermaid container. Its easy to grow with, I only check on it once a day, and the resevoir is large enough that the ph doesnt fluctuate too much and temp isnt a problem

I dont personally care for TUB DWC setups, something about all the plants growing in the same root space... I like to use 5 gallon buckets for each plant in DWC.. IDK seems better to me... but those tubs things are sold all over e-bay for pennies.....

In DWC I have always followed the air rule of 400-500cc of air for each gallon of water.

I agree it can be a pain when you start removing males but not too big of a deal. I have done many grows in a DWC/aeroponic ultrasonic fogger tub. Its cheap and easy to set up and maintain so its good for 10-12 plants. For larger grows I like PVC aeroponic set ups because of they can be set up in almost any space. I am a big fan of utrasonic foggers they keep my rez sparkling clean.

dwc speaks for it self my ph changes every 4 days then i just drain and refill the plants love it the only problem i seem to have is if i dont use 3 layers of net my buds break from so much weight heres a pic of 0nly 1 net not good should of had 3

Hempy grower checking in! So far I'm loving it! I'm not qualified to say it's the best.... as it's the only method I've tried... but I will say I'm loving how easy it is

Whut kinda pump do ya use? I tell ya whut not to use. Catalina Aqua or CA. I tried a ca 400, couldn't even turn one single 360 rotary spray head at water level.

Any suggestions appreciated.
