DWC or E & F

I grew with E & F many yrs ago and see these DWC'S,is this fool proof like e&f :fighting0040:

E&F requires less maintenance if you're using a true hydro medium. Results should be similar if done right, but I'll give DWC the edge in the yield per plant department. If you're legal and have low plant numbers I would seriously consider DWC in a 5 gallon. When paired with a 600 or 1000, 1 pound per plant is very doable.

You should also investigate hempy buckets. The hempy may be the best of both worlds.

I'm back to soil now due to space and set-up, but as far as trying to set up a DIY E&F and DWC- the bang for buck in a 5 gal DWC set-up is hard to beat. Plus as stated before me, I've seen some impressive yields from 5gal DWC grows. I too have heard the E&F is easier, but the DWC set-up was pretty damn simple too and only needed a timer for lights. I think it boils down to personal preference or what works best for your space, time, and needs.
