Coco dtw vs coco flood and drain buckets

I personally think dtw is the easiest. I don't think it has too be wasteful. I think bucket or autopot systems have to much plumbing. That's all good for a room but a warehouse is allot to deal with. Allot of fittings and tubing. Clogs to worry about that can prevent drainage.
Whenever i did recirculating, it used more water/nutes for me personally. I could have possibly done less rez changes. You don't need to get a ton of run off on every water doing dtw. You can get it dialed so u just get a tiny bit of run off most waters and here and there flush with plain water.
I'm in agreement with f-e. I think coco is better top feed. I don't think it's the best medium for ebb n flow.
