stupid DWC ??

thank you for your input beach :thumbsup:

What I found really helpful was to get a checkvalve and put it right after the tube comes out of the bucket, just disconnect and take the bucket to where it needs to go. That of course is if you had the hose drilled through the bottom side of the bucket. Its also nice to have a caring hand to hold the plant while refilling, preferably the person you are growing/living with.

hehe I dont think going out to the sidewalk and saying "excuse me you got a min to hold my plant while I change water" would work out very well

so 5 gal bucket x2 for water changes, 6" netpot lid, airpump and airstone and of course water, nutes, hydrotron, etc.
Am I forgetting anything??

I took a paddle bit and drilled a hole in my buckets at the bottom
and insert a inline valve should come with a grommet get them at any hydro store.Drains with the turn of the valve.makes checking ph easy.But when I change my solution
I simply have a clean bucket with solution to change out.Exposing those roots during solution chage is no tgoing to hurt your plant. Spring for an extra bucket.:hippy:

I have

use the extra bucket method - it works perfect.

just mix solution as directed and set the lid on the newly filled and clean bucket.

I have also

just set them in another bucket Dry

Set them on the floor with nothing.

held them in the air while someelse went and got the bucket clean and filled

what ever it takes. and the roots like to be touched. I wave my hand through the water to separate the roots sometimes, they seem to enjoy it and are always fat.

[thebeachman]

LOL, you sound as organized as I am. Roots love to be out of the bucket
as much as possible just keep em moist.:hippy:

ok 5 gallon bucket with 2 6" bar airstones and a 6" bucket basket, how high should water level be for a newly rooted clone??

[tinytoon]

hmmm .... nobody knows water level??

[avon211]

I put a small hole in my DWC lid and have a battery operated pump that sucks all the old nute solution out and I fill the same way. I have a empty bucket that I fill and unfill into. This whole process only takes minutes.

TT, I couldn't find what you've got the clone in. Rockwool cube in hydroton?

I'm using coco and it's real forgiving. Any bubble-splashes get wicked all through the coco real well. Almost touching to 2" away, it was all good.
