Ebb & Flow or Aerojet?

Hey guys!

I've been growing DWC style for almost a year now and i'm looking for something more laborless.

I was planning on going with the ebb and flow with either a 3X3 or 4X4 tray and work my way up to what AL has shown us all.

But then... I was looking at a hydro magazine and came across the aerojet. It looks pretty awesome. They've got one with up to 60 plant site?

Is that aerojet better for sog or would the ebb and flow be simple?

--Thanks!

ebb and flow involves the least amount of labor if built correctly. Aeroponics involves a lot of work, to many sprayers that can clog, etc.

I've used both...... the ebb and flow is less maintenance.I personally like top feed set up in a grow tray........flood and drain is alright but comes with lots of algae growth without a lid of course .....check out my home made drip set up....some 1/2 inch hose connected to the pump with spaghetti tubes inserted in the 1/2 inch hose.I got tired of buying drip stakes.

I ran that 60 site for two cycles, 7 months approx. Not one single clog or any mechanical failure. One clog from a huge root mass. so daily inspection is necessary.

This is more passive, not a fine mist but a percolating action from a jet of solution hitting the surface of the water culture.
