No I wouldn't in soil, or any medium at all.
For the reasons of salt build up, lockout and massive PH swings (like I said) other than drought itself being detrimental in the first place.
Lol, me a new gardener?
Erm.....no.

I've quite enough experience of soil growing myself actually, why don't you honour the burden of proof and sling some scientific evidence up that corroberates the premis that forced drought promotes yield like you say.
How do you force drought on food crops like tea, coffee, corn, rice, potatos, asparagus, cabbage, wheat, grapes, apples, oranges and bananas without stopping it from raining?
You think these crops are grown indoors in hydro where the tap can be turned off?
Who's the moron?

okey dokey dry pots......how the fuk is there any ion transport without water, how is there any photofukinsynthesis without water, how is there any gaseous root O2 uptake without fukin water......also yman is quite right about stressful pH swings....theres lots more about why ur plants grow bttr if u water them but I cba

are people possbily getting all angry at each other over a simple misunderstanding? (I could be wrong and there is reason for the slander 
)
But when these folk are saying drying out, are they meaning dry out as in bone dry (stupid) or dry out in the normal growers meaning that is to say let it dry out (enough) so as to minimize risk of overwatering? I would always let my plants "dry out", as in making sure i'm not gonna be overwatering them, and there was never any issues. This being with soil.

The original premis was in hydro with a water farm, dude's daft.
Turn yer pumps off fer 2-3 day spurts Tip Top and smash those yields by making the plant work harder!

well tbh, we discussed this a couple of days ago, and there was no agreement on whether you should or shouldn't, but what was agreed that you can do it this way and still grow perfectly healthy plants and is not by any means a practice to be avoided at all costs. And it is clearly an accepted manner of growing, hence the succes people have with ebb n flow systems.
i thought the first half of this season was quite good, but since the mid season break its been boring as fuck......
whatcha smoking relax??? i got a nice Q of HDF due tomorrow morning could do with a joint.
the reasn walkin dead has gone shit is they sacked the series creator, and halfed the budget, say no more,
just got this looks real good

anwyays, wen i say "DRY" i mean not like bone dry coz thats obviously not right but just let em get damp rather than dry .. ohh fuk knows TT knows what i mean, but im talking in coco anything else im unsure,

Ebb and flow never dries out TT, neither does any other system.
It periodically floods the medium with oygenated nute solution but the medium should never actually dry out.
Drippers have a constant stream of water granted but it's just enough to keep the medium moist under uptake.
Once you get down to a certain % of water/oxygen solution content in any medium things start to fuck up.
It should be avoided at all costs just as much as (the exact opposite) too much water without a suitable amount of oxygen, like DWC without an airstone.
But a right or wrong practice is not the point, drought increasing yeild is.....

You say it should be avoided at all cost, yet i managed just fine doing it that way.
And i have seen a number of ebb n flow designed to do exactly that, flood to a set point and then drain off all water, and with hydroton, ther's going to be little to no water retention.
as was discussed yesterday or whenever with lemon king, sure it might be better to keep it topped up at all times, but you can VERY happily just let it drink it's water, then re-fill once at a few inches from the bottom. Might not be the recommended method, but it still works none the less.
