I think hydro is a lot easier! I kill everything I put in dirt from over and/or under watering. With hydro, you just make sure your res is filled to the right level and your plants get the perfect amount of water!I feel like I need to get a DWC system in my 2x2x5 grow lab
Just soilin it up for now! Do you think DWC is easier once you get a handle on it? Or is it more finicky, yet rewarding?

I would like to inform you that because of this thread we are 100% setting up a RDWC system for my caregiver while I continue with my aero/nft homebuilt system so we can compare and contrast the pros and cons of each. I'm pretty sure the RDWC will give us more yield but i'm a bit worried as our overhead height at the grow there is only about 4 feet (without lights hanging yet) I'm thinking of building individual scrog nets for each bucket so we can keep them short and still maintain manuverability throughout the grow.

i will def be posting a journal once my caregivers setup is ready to rock and roll. finally got to the doctor today so i am now (once the state processes my application) a registered MMJ patient. We have affirmative defense here but I don't want to post any pics until i have the card in my hand ya know? It's going to be a while before my friend can set his grow up because again he wants the card in his hand and he's in the process of moving. I will keep you up to date but until then grow on GrowMomma (and papa) and I wish you the best of luck

Indoor with tents AC and CO2..... It does not take Karnak to see bug buds in your future.

I hear it is a percentage game. You can expect at least 10% gains, but the ceiling is pretty high on the limit. I'd say 25% more is an average reported by most growers... but somewhere between 20% and 30% is a little more accurate. Having everything dialed in environmentally is the real key. From temp to humidity to CO2 ppms. That's how you go from a .5 grams per watt (about 1 lbs per 1000w) to 1.0 grams per watt and double your harvest weight versus a grow troubled by poor genetics, nutrient and pH imbalances, and a less than ideal environment.
There are growers I read about who run vertical bulbs and pull 2.0 grams per watt...
But all these estimations don't really take into account the pre-veg time so it is to be taken as comparative and not literal. Your own results will vary. I think if you have a complete cooling system (which I suppose the fridge/chiller is for) and a dehumidifier, running in an enclosed system with an environment controller, then that system will probably pay for itself at the very least.
