My goal here is to post up a very simple system that can be built for short money. It's certainly cheaper than drip for initial investment, and needs less maintenance.

The reason I have decided against DWC is that I'm really just going to be running a single point of light, and I feel that a field of small plants is more efficient under this restraint than fewer but much larger plants.

Another thing to consider is the total 'age' of each harvested plant, from the time the clone roots to the time it is harvested- by minimizing that time, you also reduce the amount of plant energy wasted putting on 'wood', and the risk of anything bad happening to it.

My plant count is already outrageous so hey... here goes!!!
