dwc is always imo the best and easiest way to grow for everyone, i was a complete armature then i researched excessively and then i bought my things and grew and still i learnt along the way.
I don't claim to be an expert...but hydro is all I know....I grew out doors in the 70s...and a little indoor in the 80s that were both with dirt.....It turned out OK but nothing like I am doing now....my equipment is better now...
You are welcomed to vist my thread right here in the bubble section....link at bottom of my post....good luck with chooseing
Dwc is awesome.. its my first time using hydro and first time using dwc, but shit.. way easier to maintain then soil, so far not a single problem and not a single pest. Dirt/coco is always just a mess, id never go back to foxfarm growing.
