Hey Christina
I switched to DWC a few grows ago cuz the plants grow faster. In soil I would veg for 6-8 weeks with DWC, 4-5 weeks. Potency is also claimed to be higher with hydro.
Almost forgot ( toke toke) I used Two air stones in each bin one under each nettie laying on the bottom. I used a good air pump with an 8 way gang valve and black air hose

Hello
I built 4 of these but used two 6 inch netties in each instead of the 12 they are showing. The cost was under $50 each. I didn’t drill drain holes I use another pond pump with drain hose to pump out the water...
