Learning how a plant grows before wondering what grow style to use will get your best yield.
exactly.
i don't know where people come up with aeroponics as the higest growth rate method.
personally, i'll run an aero set up out of town with dwc or ebb & flow.
in fact, i find areo to be a huge space waster.
...definitely not saying it doesn't produce ...if you know how to maximize the set up.
which goes right back to what "bigv" notes : learn how to grow a plant, understand how to read your plants, and you can maximize ANY method using any medium.
