During the course of my test run while learning Hydro, I encountered so many issues and problems that I am now seriously considering switching to DWC/ Bubble buckets. I am going to have to redesign my current system since it leaks like a siv, on top of being too difficult to manage. My local hydro store has a very neat bucket lid system that I could use as a starting point. They are cheap and easy to manage and wouldn't need anything more then a high powered air pump and some bubble stones. The more I research DWC the more I like it. However I have seen people complain about how difficult they are too keep balanced. Since I already suffer from heat and cold snaps, I wonder if DWC is the wrong way to be thinking. For example, I discovered my res temp was 110 degrees yesterday. It took me a good long while to get that under control and while my plants didn't much care for it, they aren't all dead because some of the roots were in the res. Will DWC allow me to correct these kinds of issues or will it be game over if I made that kind of mistake again. I guess I am really wondering how hard is it to keep DWC water healthy? As long as I have a ton of bubbles running in there nothing can grow in the water right? If I was completely unable to get my DWC buckets below 90 degrees, would that cause root rot even with tons of bubbles and peroxide?
