The way i look at drip systems , its more controlled, more oxygen, better growth rates,but there is a problem with blockages if you do not filter ur system well enough, if you do ur home work and set up a decent filter its impossible to get blockages, here is how i did it.
As you can see on the top if fairly course wire mesh as a over flow if any blockages do happen, i wont flood the grow room, but on the sides it is extremly fine filter. only thing you have to do is if using hydroton is to flush it 1st and remove all the dust and little bits.
