Is this a good way to start ?

Hello all ! I'm thinking of trying a different growing style. I have 1 grow under my belt and am Midway through my 2nd. I'm doing los right now. What do you think of the below link ? Any good ? What nutes would I need ? I do have Flora grow and Flora bloom onhand from my last grow. I have been doing some reading on the hydroponic game , but would love some guidance.

VIVOSUN DWC Hydroponics Grow System with Top Drip Kit, 5-Gallon Deep Water Culture, Recirculating Drip Garden System with Multi-Purpose Air Hose, Air Pump, and Air Stone (4 Buckets + Top Drip Kit) Amazon.ca

it's a big change from LOS. dwc requires a lot more gear and is one of the most expensive styles to run.
there is nothing wrong with that system, vivosun has a good reputation. just be aware most growers wind up modifying and upgrading the systems to suit them better. the initial purchase may not be the up front cost.

the nutes you have would be fine to start. you would need a few more things nute wise.

did you mix and cook your own soil presently? you mention having nutes but LOS is a non bottle nute style. i'm wondering what you are actually doing.

Yes, mixed my own los. My nutes are from a previous grow. You think that system I posted would get me through a grow ? I read on one of the reviews it might be a good idea to get a bigger air pump.
I want to thank you Bluter for always replying. My thought are if I get that dwc dialed it might be less work than a soil based medium

you can never have too much bubbles. the air pump is one of the first things that often gets upgraded.

it might get you through a grow, more often than not guys will drop a couple buckets and run the pump full on half the system. 2 5gal dwc buckets can easily fill a 4x4. scrogged proper 1plant will fill it no problem either.

that's always the dream isn't it. the fact is every grow style will require work and constant attention. there are really no methods that do not tie you to home at least somewhat. that is why i take long breaks now between grows.
