There are basically 3 types of hydroponic systems.
- Aeroponic
- flood and drain
- Deep/Shallow water culture or DWC/SWC
Aeroponic systems use either A dripper to keep the plants supplied with nutrients, or they
use Misters to spray the nutrient solution directly onto the root system. The nutrient solution then runs back into A resivour and recycled.
Flood/drain systems also known as NFT, (Nutrient flood technique) flood A channell where the roots rest to deliever nutrients. After A brief soak in the solution, the water runs back into A resivour.
Deep water culture systems simply leave the roots submerged in water/nutrient solution with the addition of A "bubbler" to oxygenate the solution.
If you want simplicity, go with DWC, If you want the best quality grow, go with Aero, or NFT.
