DWC systems

[pete2]

Is there any benefits to using a DWC drip system over using a DWC non drip system? And if there is what are they?

I tried it before for the first few weeks until roots came out of net pots
I just hand water now too much hassle in multiple single units
Would be better to use in big rdwc

The r means recirculating
Google alien rdwc that's the of the range stuff

I know someone has started doing the systems with top feed included

FWIW, Top feed in DWC is only an advantage in the first couple of weeks, after that the roots get all they need from tank
