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?

How important is CO2 at seedling stage?
Should I set up CO2 generator now or after the seedlings move to veg? Hoping I can wait until next pay check 😅. I’ll find the money if it’s crucial now

Is a dehumidifier needed for my setup?
Tent size is 4'x2'x5'. Humidity ranges from 50-70 and average temperature is 80F. There are 3 plants (3 gallons - 6 weeks of age) and 1 plant (1 gallon - 1 week), with plans to add one more 3or5 gallon pot. Given this info, will I require a dehumidifier? If so, what size?

Co2 Diy
DIY CO2 Methods. The room is roughly 8x8x7 with 800w of led. AC infinity intake exhaust set to 75f 50%h. Would a 5gallon fermentation bucket provide enough co2 to be at all noticeable and anyone have experience with a compost bin setup in their space?

How to increase temperature?
What is the best way to increase heat in small grow space (2x2x4)? I'm running an LED light, maybe should have gone HPS but it is what it is. My area is in an outbuilding with poor insulation. Temps keep dropping below 70, I'm using an oil filled radiator placed next to the box
