I don't think 5 foot plants would do well in those little pots 😉
Are the net pots fully submerged in the water?
Do you need a traditional 6 inch duct with a carbon filter and dehumidifier with this type of grow?
Is there any hydroponic dwc professional systems you can direct me to You know like one that already has the hole on top already in and the pod
I am new to hydroponics. How does the water stay clean? Does it also need a filter?
what is a good water level – how much of the net pot needs to be submerged in the water?
7yrs old and still the best way explanation of how hydro works…hello from 2021
Do you still do the hydroponics? why or why not?
hello sir is the air pump 24hrs open?
Super helpful video! Thank you for the time and effort you put into this
always place your air pump higher than your nutrient res. i lost power for a short time in a thunderstorm and with the pump being lower than the fluid level it worked as a siphon. made a mess and ruined the pump.
You don't need any growing media. That's the whole idea behind DWC.
Hi
Can i put plant apart after to 2 bucket roots its together in bucket can I splitt them?
Which nutrients are used in solution or are there specific chemicals that are used in dwc?
Great video, thanks! Is there an issue with the plastic tub/tote leaching chemicals like BPA into the water and into the plants?
I'm incorporating the air pump into my coffee can setup…
Could a fishtank be applyed to this method as iv been researching a lot but seems like roots need darkness, if thats the case my experiment might work
Hydroton = used carpet its free! Net pot = solo cups with many holes ..cheep !
Great video! Why do you have to drain and replace the water every month if you are adding new oxygen and nutrients?
This was a great video. Everything was presented professionally and no extra bs. Here are some hints that may seem obvious but they have been important…
1. There are lots of nutrients out there but whatever you use use very little. I had a tendency to overdo it since I thought the more i used the faster and bigger the plants would get. Very little nutrients will do the job. They can get fairly big using nothing but water.
2. Use large seed pots. As large as you can fit on the top of your reservoir.
3. Have a way to support the plants. They get big and heavy. Especially when it flowers. They take a long time to grow and there's nothing worse than a lost branch of bud in an instant.
4. I put a twenty dollar pump in the bottom of the reservoir that makes draining easy and fast. If it's easy to do something it gets done more often.
how will i apply this with aquaponics? thanks
What is RDWC ? Please explain. Thank you.
Great video. Do you use grow lights and what do you want recommend? What temperature do you need your room to be?
Finally someone explained the whole thing as opposed to just skipping certain aspects mainly the water cycle change nobody likes to mention those not sure why thank you for explaining
Thank You, Thats Awesome!
Did you say inert means ph neutral.
This was extremely basic and straightforward. Just what I needed to learn. This is a very beneficial video.
