I am planing on building a grow box of some sort... most likely an old refridgerator gutted out... I am thinking DWC would be best for my situation..I have done a lot of research but i still would like some input... this is my first grow.. i would like something that would be big enough for 4-6 plants with a good sized rootmass. However it will be placed in the fridg so i needs to be as small as posible.. is DWC right for me or is ther a better alternativ?.. i cant spell i know.. my bad..

any thing i say is completly hypothetical... I am really just in search of info... growing/smoking dro is illegal where i live and i never break the law.:rastasmoke:

I would go with whatever system makes most sense in your head... for me it was Ebb and Flow.... Each system would probably take up about the same amount of space

With ebb and flow u need a larg res right?... thats why i am leaing towards DWC... to my noledge with a DWC system i can just have the main res with the roots hanging in it corect?

Ebb and flow would only take a couple of inches more than a DWC. The difference is that in ebb and flow, you don't need to worry about temps quite as much. Yet, DWC is easier. Setup your lighting and fan. Fire it up and check your temps. If you can keep the temps in the low 70's, go DWC. If you are in the mids and up, go with ebb and flow.

DWC produces amazing results for such a simple, relatively effortless grow system. Punch "emily's garden" into a search engine, and buy one or make one for less than half the money. It's how I started in hydro and I have nothing but good things to say about it.
