combining ebb and flow with dwc

[ARTFART]

Im in the process of building a dwc bubble system and im thinking about making it an ebb and flow also has anybody in here experience with combining the two together and if so am i doing the right thing?

 

[chitownsmoking]

i think that would be called a recycling dwc

I have everything to make it an dwc drip system also... witch one is better dwc drip or dwc ebb&flow maybe combining the three of them hehe
but still witch one is better...

Anyone ???

Anyone ???

Id Say EBB +FLOW With Hydroton Clay Pebbles Is The Best Hydro System Out As When It Drains The Hydroton Suck In Air you Can Hear Them Like Rice Chrispies Dwc Great Yield So Id Say Go Ebb+Flow DWC Would Be Awsome Mate But Id Just Stick To EBB+FLOW Nice And Simple With Excellent Results

Yo DrGreen thanks man! im thinking about going with both since i got everything i need to make it why not try it out i know one guy who told me he once saw one like that and he told me it worked like a turbo hydro and thats what we all want right
But if anybody else out there who has done something like this combining the two please tell...

DWC = Fastest growth rates and simple to make, but requires daily attention for optimum growth

EBB & FLOW = Fantastic growth, easy to make, easy as hell to maintain and operate.

Combining together = Probably a waste of time but it's always fun to experiment.

I agree with sativaplanet. you have to be real careful with DWC not to keep the medium wet-you can use the drip until the roots are long enough to dip into the res but I wouldnt go further than that. I have tried the combo of both, and most times the roots/plant were not nearly as performing as either Ebb and Flow or DWC seperately.

I'm leaning toward DWC in my garden. I think the extra work pays off enough to be worth it. I have gotten faster growth rates with DWC then ebb and flow.

DWC can grow some great plants. Just have to watch for root rot....
good luck whatever you do

Just got a 70 liter res is that big enough for lets say 10 plants? how big dose my air pump have to be i want as much bubbles as i can put in there...

I like a dwc/bubble, drip system and fogger. I use 2, 4 foot rubber air lines. 10 plants will be tight, but good luck.
