How quick is DWC?

I was wondering what the advantage in time DWC had to offer. Typically if a person does a good job and the plant doesn't suffer too many issues, how long is the time from when she goes into the DWC system and when you dry? And I know i double posted but that is due to the misspelled title.

Depends on the strain really. Normally, hydro finishes up a couple weeks earlier than soil.

What is a couple of weeks? Lets say that a particular strain takes 11 weeks to flower, how long is that in DWC?

There are many varibles, but average for an Indica grow, would be VEG for 5 to 7 weeks (to maturity) and FLOWER 8 to 10 weeks, making about 15 weeks total.

If you use a Drip Feed or Bubbleponics Feed (under water pump feeding each grow root base) OR IF you start with clones, it is faster by a week or two..

I use Bubleponics, and I VEG 5 weeks, and Flower for 8 and half weeks = 13 weeks from seed to harvest.

You Can just VEG one week, for smaller yields, and then Flwoer for 8 to 9 weeks.
OR start with auto-flowering seeds, that will take about ten weeks total, with smaller yields.
