You should also look into flood-and-drain.
It is very simple to construct one yourself.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . 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 Rating: 5
