Is There A Chance I'm Drowning My Ebb&Gro Plants?

I've always seen it done with rockwool due to its ability to retain moisture and oxygen for extended periods. I use dwc change my newts about every 2 weeks. Prior to the roots growing down I use a pond pump every few hours to spray water up onto my net pot. Once fruits are dangling I remove the pump and use the air stones. :innocent: :innocent:
Hey Irwin! :wave:

Yeah, a lot of folks are using netpots, pebbles in Ebb&Gro,Fill/Drain systems - and quite successfully.

I've never used rockwool. I don't like what I see in pictures of rockwool that I've seen.

You use a water pump in each bucket separately?

IF yes, how many buckets are you running?

Thank you for your input, Irwin...I greatly appreciate it!
