dwc you dont use small buckets or resevors
quick example // you have air pump pushing air to your air stones that are placed inside a big contaner.. (rubbermaid, 5gl buket)

plants ontop with roots hanging into the water
thats DWC deep water culture

do a search i think i put up a link here for a good mediumless DWC thread awhile back
yeskaa Reviewed by yeskaa on . DWC Explanation....? Deep Water Culture... it seems like everybody is using this type of system... can somebody tell me a quick explanation of an easy setup... like what pumps it uses and what not. I guess I'm also interested in those setups that have like 50 little buckets and what not... and a main resevoir... how does that work? This may seem like a ridiculous question... but... how does the pump not over flow the smaller resevoirs? Is there an overflow pipe or somethin? If any of this doesn't make sense... Rating: 5
