i hate flushing goddamn soil pots.... so ive been thinking about hydro and i decided to check out the indoor garden expo a week ago. low and behold, i won a 4'x4' NFT system in a raffle!!! problem is, i here this is a tough one to begin with. thinking about selling it and buying another sort of hydro set up. what do yall think, try the NFT or go for ebb n flow or top feed?

Top feed, sell that NFT, and go grab some General Hydroponics equipment. They sell cheap single unit drip systems which can all be integrated if you start to reach large numbers.
Also they have a pretty nice nutrient regime to go along with the equipment.

Its cool you won that NFT, I always wanted to get a small one to play with, but I did get the Hydrofarm HE200, ebb, and flow. Its a pretty good, and cheap one to start with.

He he he....I know who you are. I was at the hydro show and didn't win the raffle but got a bunch of free crap. They have it there every year. 
Sell it and go with a ebb and flow. Just build one yourself and save a ton of cash.
We're going way back in time here but this is a old homemade ebb and flow that used dixie cups as pots for fun.
   Wood and plastic lining. 6 mil thick it wasn't and never did rip. Even when I walked in it to work on the lights.

allthough ive heard if you have more then a few they can be a pain in the ass. on the other hand they are cheap as hell to make.
