I ask because I'm wanting to build a similar dwc setup. I feel like it's the simplest(cheapest too) way of delving into the world of hydroponics. This way you don't have to mess with anything but an air pump and some air stones.

Whichever fert you decide make sure you get measuring devices. You'll also need a ppm meter and a ph meter, along with ph up/down.

I've heard using General Hydroponics 3 part micro/veg/bloom is pretty easy. Never used it myself, though.

Good luck.

edit: definitely keep a log too, with hydro there is too much to keep track of without writing it down. Notebooks are like 79cents and in the long run it will help a lot.
Hello Orzy!

Yeah, that's the whole DWC system. From what Iā??ve read hear and on other sites, Iā??d say YES! It is a bubbling bucket! It doesn't have separate reservoirs, but it does have an air pump and air stone. I Plan to add a drainage valve for easy water changes though.

I drove around on Saturday attempting to buy parts and build my own, but I would still have had to buy at least; Net Pots, Rockwool Cubes, and Hydroton Grow Rocks online. Which means I'd also have to pay S&H. It worked out to be more expensive that way. As these item aren't sold at the local hardware stores in my area, I LOOKED!!!!

The entire system I ordered cost me less than $50 including S&H online. Of course Iā??ll have to order more supplies in the future. But I don't think I made a bad 1st Time investment at all...

Good luck to you, what ever you choose... KIT:thumbsup:
New2Dro Reviewed by New2Dro on . My first DWC system... Hello all!!! I ordered a DWC system online about a week ago, and according to online tracking. It should be here TOMORROW! :D I haven't purchased a lighting system yet, only because Iā??ve been trying to decided if I should go with LED's or HPS. Electricity consumption is a big concern! And I also haven't purchased any nutes yet; don't know which to go with? As much as I can grasp every other terminology related to growing cannabis. The numbers on nutes make no sense to me. (?-??-?)
