Ok witch is better to use? I know there isn't such a big dif but I'm just curios... I will make a DWC system. I plan on growing with CFL's...
The problem is that I'm not home so i can't monitor the plants... I can visit my plants for 2 days a week... In default i planed to grow wit soil but my often absence is a pain in the ass... Is this is as bad as it seems or there is a chance 4 me to grow.?

Why can you only visit the plants 2 days a week?

I think you could SOIL grow with the two day limitation, but DWC and HYDRO will require daily visits and attention.

you could set up a float valve that would keep your solution level where you want it - I know every one wants to make hydro a exact science but come on I have grew plants in the back of my aquarium filter (great for rooting clones) and I run a bucket system which I can leave alone for up to 5 days at a time right now not the best thing to do but with a float valve added its entirely possible
