What hydroponic system do you guys like the BEST?
We like drip systems the BEST because drip systems are easy to use, easy to clean, and they produce consistently great results time and time again. Drip systems, provide a fantastic amount of  oxygen to your plants’ root system and contrary to popular belief, they do not clog up easily as long as they are built properly.  Along with the fast and healthy growth you will see, drip systems can be run using any type of grow medium, ranging from coco coir to rockwool to hydroton grow rocks, even in a specialty soil based medium.

Grow Tip: Remember in any type of system which uses a medium other than grow rocks,  one must make sure the medium (soil, coco, rockwool, etc.) goes from wet and “heavy” to barely moist and “light.” Aeration and drainage are of critical importance if you want your plants to thrive!

What is the cheapest and most effective way to grow hydroponically?
It depends on how many plants you wish to grow. If you are growing only one or two you could purchase an individual hydroponic pot such as the SoloGro or Waterfarm If you are planning to grow 5 or more plants, you’ll probably end up using a Drip System or an Ebb and Flow. See below for more information on these kinds of systems.

What are the advantages of hydroponics over soil?
Hydroponically grown plants maintain optimum nutrient and moisture levels, so they grow faster and healthier. No soil means no weeds and no soil-born pests or diseases. Another advantage is root systems stay smaller on hydroponically grown plants, allowing the plant to focus its growth energy on producing plant mass rather than roots. This means you can have more plants per square foot of growing space, and more yield! Lastly, hydroponics is a water-wise way to grow.
