stupid DWC ??

when you have a plant in a 5 gal bucket I know you start with water about an inch below basket and as roots come down you slowly can drop water level, my question is how much water do you end up with at it's lowest point?? I have about 3 gals I start with when I change water out and Sunday will prob change that to 2 1/2 gals. will post some pics later. also it seems that nute stain has gotten the roots again. seems to have started and then water level went down and the roots at the level where the water level was are dark and such and was thinking I could take a spray bottle and rinse and clwean them off, sound like a plan??

Nute stain will always be there. I know you can drop water level but leave it as high as you can and keep it topped up. Roots will love you for it.

Kk Loc will do, you not steered me wrong yet :jointsmile:
wait a sec I just read that again and you say nute stain will always be there? then what pry tell is it if H2o2 clears it up?

[LOC NAR on probation]

well either the h2o2 is bleaching them or the start of phytium and the h2o2 cleans it.

On my last grow the stain was all the way up to the basket. I figured it was from the guano. It was healthy as all hell though so I didnt worry about it. So im still confused about nute staining or whatever it is referred to as. As long as my plants are healthy then I wont worry too much about it.

I agree with the healthy plants, I'm just a glutton for info :jointsmile:

so far the first time DWC experiment is going really well. I would like to thank all who gave me hints and advice as far and cant wait to try this in my tent. Momma looks real good though :jointsmile:

Hey TT, This thread should be banned....one could take over the world with this knowledge. It makes me want to get my feet wet DWC style! This was really informative and covered hopefully many of the ups and downs someone goes thru dialing in their system. I now want to try at least one.Thanks for posting it and all that responded.:thumbsup:
