Can DWC compete with Ebb and Flow?

hepobermanstarted grow question 4y 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?

Water temperature control in DWC. Curiosity In DWC growing, chillers are really expensive and frozen water bottles you need to replenish kind of frequently. Does anyone currently use any insulation for their 5 gallon buckets? Do you have a rough estimate of how many degrees it cooled your bucket? Doing a temp study. Thanks
