i chose recirculating DWC because I had already experienced the insane growth of the DWC system, but the main downfall was having to replace water, keeping temp down, and using a lot of nutrients. i chose the system after reading Blazeoneup's tutorial on a cannabisculture.com and because I had seen pictures of the explosive growth of the water chilled recirculating dwc.

The system essentially combines a few elements, and you get both your constant solution (where the main root mass is) and then you get your aeroponic environment around the top of the roots and the root ball, keeping everything humid and moist inside. One downfall is the fact that we go through about 100 gallons of water or more a week, which is hard to keep up with as far as refilling and adding more nutrients. pH is incredibly stable because of the amount of water and the constant mixing.

After using the system for a few grows now, I am convinced it is the way to go. However as I mentioned before, we are moving to even less plants. From 16 to 12 and now, if we were to do the same room, we would do 6 plants!! We are going to do DWC trees, veg for about 6 weeks again but this time not
