Hi, I too am new to dwc, but have huge plants. I use 3 18 l oxypots and 3 rubbermaid clones that hold 20 liters. A couple of things:
1) do the plants really mature faster?
2) do you have to change the water regularly, as half the liquid is replaced weekly anyway
3) I use canna aqua and it costs a bloody fortune, with rhizotonic, flora and veg a and b, cannazym, cannaboost. Any cheaper options that are also good?
Thanks

I forgot, I also have to cut a male out in a 2 mesh setup. Ideas?
Doco, I don't mean to flame but you should have your water flow dirction changed, your looking for the water fall effect when recirculating dwc, then you can cut out any air pumps for the water fall creates enough DO, far and foremost I do hope the best of that great looking system, cheers
PS I use a 1000+ gph pump with my bucket system for dem trees
I have heard of the waterfall method as well form Heath 9tree grower)I love growing trees!what is your tree method set up?I'm thinking of gowing dwc with 5000watts vertical style 8-12 plants
I like the house and garden line the shooting powder at the end makes the buds swell

I need some ideas on a drying system, want screens.
And I need some ideas on a stand system to keep my babies up, they just about all fell over today with weight issues. So they got chopped 3 days premature.

I'm setting up a recirc. dwc system, I was gonna use 5 gal buckets until I found these 10 gal buckets: my ? is I'm thinking about using 1 inch tubing for the drainage of the buckets,. Do you guys or gals think this will be enough or should it be larger. I was gonna go 3/4 in. for the 5 gal. but don't know if I should double the drainage for the double in size bucket. the buckets are the same height as a 5 gal bucket but they are 18 inches wide. any thoughts or help would be very appreciated
thanx D:S5:
where's X-Crispi when you need him? He'd be the perfect one to ask. I believe he uses 3/4" tubing for his and likes it much better than the 1/2 inch.
Even in my larger buckets D4 I'm perfectly happy with 1/2 inch tubing so I wouldn't be the right one to ask.
I suppose though, I would ask how you are going to recirculate....with an air pump or a water pump? That may change how large you need your tubing to be.
Does anyone still visit this thread, am I all alone here, Somebody, Anybody, please just gimmie a lil help...lol jus' playin..
I got some 1 inch ebb n flow outlets for the drainage but I couldn't find any 1 inch valves went to 3 hydro shops.. so I bought a bunch of fittings and a pvc valve at Lowes and some bucket lids w/ net pots I forgot to get the 1 in. tubing but I did get the 1/2 inch tubing I needed... I guess I gotta stop smoking before I go shopping for parts, I always forget something
My fridge just took a crap on me this morning so my mods to the cultivation station and the building of my 1st DWC system might have to wait longer. AAAAARRRGGH I can't stop daydreaming of getting this back up and running so much that I can't sleep, but it gives me ideas for inventions to patent for the hydro retail market, hopefully one day.
Later D:S5:
