Lowest maintenance grow system dwc vs autopot?

You would get better yields from DWC but a lot more work so going back to your questions if you would have 6 DWC and 6 Autopot the DWC will take much more work so the autopot is less maintance. The static water environment can lead to dangerous mold and bacterial growth forming in and around the root area, which can severely damage the plant's health. This is where Autopot really outshines DWC. Due to the nature of the ebb and flow system, the water periodically fills and feeds the plants. My mate is running autopot and he love it and now Im thinking to do it aswell becuase I dont have too much time.

Well i was the same I was sent the auto pot auto 5 system with 35L pots i chose coco to grow in once you pass the 3 week mark all you haveto do is fill the res with feed and that's it the autopot system does the rest and it can be left for weeks in the early stages if you need it. DWC which i have a lot of experience in is a bit more problematic in my opinion unless you buy a cooler or have ac to cool the room then the water temperature in the summer will make optimal growth really hard as your aware the water need to be kept between 18-22 as the autopot system has a medium so there isno requirement on the temperature of the water along as its cold enough.

Soil is easiest less maintenance of all. Dwc is not a lot as long as you have a good grasp on what to do. Coco in auto pots I have not done. So I can't really weigh I'm on that one. Regular coco grows are a lot of maintaining
