Can DWC compete with Ebb and Flow?
hepobermanstarted 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?

When Should I Consider More CO2?I flower my plants in a mylar lined box, roughly 2' deep by 4' wide by maybe 6' tall, using two 300W Mars Hydro LEDs.
With that amount of light on the plants, would you recommend more light, or CO2 supplementation, and if so how much?

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?
