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?

Do I need to poke holes in this type of pot for seedlings?
Hi, I was wondering if I could set my seed inside this pot without making holes in its bottom and sides since it was sold like this. It is made of a cardboard-like paste and I don't know if it could help with drainage after watering my seedling during the first weeks.

Is this an RO system?
I found this is my basement of our new house and I'm wondering if this is an RO filtration system and if its worth trying to reconnect it as it appears to be bypassed. It does have an electric water softener which I heard you shouldn't use but I'm curious what it is in any case.

I'm wondering what is a good stage to start introducing airflow on the plants to increase resilience? I was running this Treveda circulating fan on the outside of my tent through the vent but it didn't seem to be producing much airflow on the inside. Does this look bad inside?
