I have built a Aero/DWC combo. It sprays the root system until the roots reach below the sprayers to the nutrient/oxygen rich solution. Can anybody be a devils advocate and give me a reason as to why this is bad or wont work? I see it as the best of both worlds. Prove me wrong, please.

I do the same thing with my mothers and it works great. Just a tote with a manifold of sprayers and water in the bottom.

Thank you, Dankshizzle. Do you find that your plants thrive any more or less, once the roots reach the water?

it may be beneficial, i've heard mixed things. i'm certain it provides no benefit after the roots find the water, but i do know a couple people who do similar setups with top-feed lines feeding them till they reach the reservoir. my concern would be that the roots above the water would not be able to process as much air if they were constantly being sprayed with water as they do in the light mist they recieve from the bubbles popping. i think the best thing you can do in DWC is give it more oxygen to the roots with a stronger air pump.

They actually get sprayed with a cycle timer and not a constant spray.
