please help me chose nft or coco?

[oxyman]

hello all please if you would help me decide between nft trays or coco?? pros+cons please,

so i'm in oxypots at the moment and am awaiting my first flush any day now, but did it 12/12 from bean 3x oxys i have found it quite easy as the plants are small pots in and out tent to check the ress, so would like to veg for a few weeks next grow, and think it will be hard work pots in and out the tent when their bigger.

nft/coco they can stay in the tent to check res/ec/ph so witch one do i go for?? i have read that coco is the way forward is it easy? i am a noooob nft hydroponics so i know what i am doing because of the oxys any info would be great.

what ever i go with i hope to stick with it, i will be growing in a dr120 1x2x1x2x2m tent with 600w hps lumetek ballast with super lumens options parabolic shade this is a tough one for me to decide i have all the wand ph pen , canna aqua flores a+b will need the veg food, rhizzo,bigbud/bloombastic don't know witch to use next,pk13/14,overdrive, if we decide to go the coco route i know i will need new a+b food,

i would love your feedback on this i will be after a mentor for my diary i will be taking on, i do find the bubblers noisy i will be growing in a spare room extraction into loft, cheers lads and lasses thanks for taking the time to read my dribble if you need any more info please just ask, cheers oxy out peace. the most i have ever typed lol ow my finger.

as long as you can stay on top of res temps I'd say give nft a go, that said I do still like having a few coco plants on the go alongside the dwc " darn right some of them air pumps are noisy even when on a bungee"

Fuck me oxyman, I've never seen you write so much!

As you'll probably know I run NFT and am there for biased but im still a coco fan all though I've never grown in it. I reckon you should do what I'm gonna do.

Run NFT in the colder months, and then run coco in the summer when the res temps get too hot (unless your gonna buy a chiller)

Best of both and grows all year round, but mostly NFT

You can get one big 122cm x 108cm tray called the gt100, which will fit near enough perfect in your tent. Check the link out

my plans for dwc

Oxy a was a nft grower for 14 years had some amazing results over the years so will never knock it by as simmer is coming without a chiller u may struggle with res temps and like myself switched to give coco a try and now use ma nft as drainers for run of watering coco
And getting great results with it and less stress with res temps

If you got the room go nft .. But Coco is less hassle. Less work. Less time consuming . I'd go coco for a easier grow

I'm been inclined to day coco is more work, after all, you do have to hand water coco everyday. With NFT you only have to refill the res approximately once a week and monitor the EC and PH everyday. I left my NFTs for a week once in heavy flower and went on holiday to aiya napa and they were fine

I can hear my air pump, extraction and fans over my water pump. It's a lot quieter than a air pump. Especially a 4 way fucker.
Depends how much bud you want to be honest. I say around 4 weeks max from cuttings
