Can DWC compete with Ebb and Flow?
hepoberman
started grow question 5y ago
I've seen incredible growth with flood and drain systems using giant netcups of hydroton but the upkeep is a burden. Can DWC compete in terms of yield and quality? The simplicity of DWC is very appealing to me. Anyone tried both?

Simple wick system (bottom of space bucket) for first grow wise?
I have a space bucket lying around and want to use the wick system with reservoir to feed my plant while also using an air stone to increase oxygen. Is this a successful route if I polyester wick to a fabric pot with FF soil or should my first grow just be standard soil?

Should I repot to a pot with drainage?
I have been reading that drainage is very important. I am using a very large terracotta pot, which does not have drain holes. Would it be recommended to repot, drill holes in the bottom or should it be ok? I'm hoping that as the pot is very large it shuold not be an issue
