Reservoir Hydroponics
I have been reading many books to see which hydro system would be easier and most simple for a beginner. The two I'm comparing is DWC and Reservoir.
From what I understand Reservoir system works with putting pots into a larger container that is aerated with airstones and pumps and water/nutes is delivered capillary action.
DWC is a pots suspended over aerated reservoir and also works like capillary action. Also the air within the reservoir is kept at 100% humidity.
I am leaning towards reservoir system because it seems much more convient to be able to swap pots in and out for SOG and space saver when using square pots.
Can anyone tell me if they have used reservoir system and the pros and cons? For my growing medium I am planning to use fossil rocks.
Any input comments welcome.Cicatriz Reviewed by Cicatriz on . Reservoir Hydroponics I have been reading many books to see which hydro system would be easier and most simple for a beginner.
