F&D is really interesting...I've never seen a setup in person, but I have been researching it and it does seem like the way to go. I'll be researching it more. So how big of pots do you use?I love F&D because it is so low maintanence and simple. If power ever goes out, no real problem. I started growing with DWC, and you have to watch it like a hawk. While the yields were about 10-15% more in DWC, so much can go wrong so quickly, and I needed security over the small yield gains as I started to grow for a living. I do a mix of 25% perlite and 75% vermiculite over a thin layer of rockwool cubes to keep the rocks from falling out. Best mix I've found so far with the best yields...
The one thing I like about my little aero setup is how fast they grow in veg...Some strains are amazing, but everything veg's at least twice as fast as compared to soil. Usually 3 weeks of veg time is all that's needed.
