So I'm a first time grower and decided to go hydro. I have limited space and I'm trying to decide between ebb and flow or dwc. After talking with the people and my local hydro store they tell me with ebb and flow I can get up to 16 plants at a time. But they will be smaller plants. With dwc they will be bigger but I can only do 4 at a time maybe 5. So my question is what method would be better? And which would give me higher yields when done right?
i would listen to your hydro store... the ebb and flow system is much more money than making a DWC... if they wanted to rape you they could have... it really depends on how you train your plants.. i've seen good results in both ebb and flow and DWC... minor compensations to either system will give you a desired growth your looking for.... put in a screen... and pic a strain you wish to grow... choose the strain that suits your grow level as well as yield requirements... Low stress training as well as flipping to flower when you can maximize your grow space will easily get you a desired yield with practice maybe start small... a single DWC and see how it goes... many start and quickly realize that growing is much more than they expected and sell off all purchased products good luck
