I like the idea of hydro since watering plants is a bit of a dark art (your plant is unhealthy often means you’re watering too much or not enough).
I had to look up DWC (Deep Water Culture) and the page was talking about fast growth as one of the benefits. If you’re not growing crops, I can see that being bit undesirable - have you noticed high growth levels?
Nice, I felt the same way!
I don’t dose fertilizer as often or as much as I would wager the weed growers do. I also don’t leave the lights on for 18 hours a day like vegetable growers do. I don’t think the plants are growing extremely quickly. It all seems pretty normal so far.

The high growth isn’t particularly a pro of DWC - it’s one of hydro in general.
Yeah, I believe my plants (both houseplants and balcony crops) are growing crazy fast, but I don’t know if it’s due to hydro, or just the all in all great conditions in general, like lots of light.
I “sadly” don’t have any plants in soil anymore, so I can’t compare it. But science confirms it too 👍
