I would say IMO that E&F would be easier. Atleast there the plants dont die if the air pump fails :wtf:

Don't those drip rings have a tendency to plug up over time? Flood and drain is like a modified DWC, where the roots are under water only part of the time. The flood times during an hour and their duration are issues that need to be understood.

5 times a day for 15 mins each

If you flood more frequently, do you get over-fert and tip burn?

can do more but instead of burn and such you will face overwatering first.
