until i "came back" to the "farm" i had never heard of dwc before...i always made some elaborate drip runoff system. nothing wrong with a drip system being i have many years of irrigation background, but i decided to try this dwc method. although very partictular with nutes and ph, i must say i LOVE the dwc system...virtually no maintnence except to keep an eye on the water levels and ph. no pumps and hoses neccessary, no emitters, no extra timer...i have 3 dollar store bins that hold like 1.25 gallons each and my plants seem to be doing spectacular so far. i am about 15 days into flower using the lucas nute method, about to switch to 3000k lights (FL shoplights) and lucas style bloom nutes. seeing treetops folgers cans made me realize there is no need for a huge resivoir (easier water changes and whatnot). hope i have helped you a little bit, im still learning myself...i think we all are.

Good Luck,
B

Oh and as for nutes i use general hydroponic...have for years and am not dissappointed...if your are growing in a small space i would look into the lucas method, good stuff. :rasta:
