I was wondering if anyone tried an ebb and flow DWC hybrid hydroponics system. Right now I run an ebb and flow bucket system with a control bucket. The problem I have with ebb and flow is that it uses too much medium (clay pepples) and I feel like the plants don’t get as much oxygen as I would like. My friend runs DWC and the grow rate is much faster. I’ve had thoughts of creating an ebb and flow system that also acts as a DWC. Instead of filling my inner bucket with clay pebbles, I could use a smaller net pot that’s sits on top of the big net pot and let the roots grow to the bottom like a DWC system and run air stones to each individual bucket. Also I would run the ebb and flow system backwards in a sense and let the nutrients sit in the buckets and only drain it to mix everything thing back up in the reservoir then flood it again. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
