What is the best method of hydros?

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.

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
