what is the most effective Hydro system

N

nizzle

Hello i want to build new hydro system. i got 70x70 i want to build ebb flood. so i can use all the space in my growroom, but is there a better choice ?. i want to have 12 clones in it. they will grow in 2x 65liter containers.
i will use 400w. gib extreme output. ill be sad if i cant get 25 to 35gram from each plant.

so i would like to hear what is best, most effective in yield, i dont care if some system maybe is 3 days faster lol :) i only think of my yield.


best system 1 to 5, ! gogo

It will be different if you have 70 feet, 70 meters, or 70 cm or inches. Ebb n flow buckets are the best in my experience, but others will have different answers just as true. Happy buds.

Current Culture Under Current......you can't beat it, check out any recirculating dwc on here, homemade or not....beat all other hydro systems out the water

I would have to go with the rdwc, because since I have built mine, my yields have went up at least 25%, and I am just running a perpetual sog, so all my plants finish less than 2' tall, so I would imagine bigger plants would give better results. I think it has something to do with the plants always having access to fresh nutes and oxygen. Also, now my roots don't get all tangled up and choke each other out.
 
I am and probably always will prefer ebb and flow tables, I've tried just about every other system, minus the above mentioned by growshower, my:2cents:
 
Aeroponic is the best but not many aero systems allow your plants to get big. RDWC follows up by performance. I havnt tried ebb and gro yet though.

i give alot of respect to ebb and flo tables, i have seen some awesome grows with them, however, if you want yield, recirculating dwc is the way to go....again, only imho. but also the humble opinions of many many many many others up here

Seriously +1

I would put a good rdwc right with aero. as far as yields, but it is also easier.

The yeilds in rdwc are really outstanding. I think hydroton drip (think so quick) has equal potential with a lot more scalability. A 200 bucket rdwc would be at least 500gallons of nutes vs 50gal in drip. But even on a one bucket/table/etc grow it really depends on maintaining the right conditions for the strain of plant and the fitting the style and experience of the grower.

i dont want to get involved in a big debate but what are thease big yields from rdwc ? i like flood and drain buckets myself 4 per 600 wt light 3 n a half wks veg and flip em 8 wks flower 1 gram a what ia easily done thats dry not sticky or damp .
i am not saying though by a multiflow or simular and you,ll get 1 gpw you have to dial in your room ,learn your plant and stick to it then maybe ? myself thinks the system is only as good as the grower . but i do like my multiflow very easy to use but cleaning hydoton is a pain .

thanks bullseye.
