Someone please correct me if I'm wrong as this is really just my theory. I believe that you could submerge the net pot just a little to allow the wicking action of the medium to feed the roots. I know this works with perlite but I've never used Hydroton before. The splashing from the bubbles may also be sufficient but then again I'm not sure. You could possibly even thread a wick throughout the pot which in turn is submerged in the nutrient solution.
These are just some of the ideas I've come up with before attempting DWC myself. They may not be plausible.
elcheapo Reviewed by elcheapo on . Some questions about the DWC system I've seen many of you fellas using the DWC systems and I think it's nice and plan on using it in the near future when I have have my own growroom. Anyways, I was wondering. How does the system work for really small plants? And by that I mean seedlings that have just been germinated in rockwool and are ready to be transfered. Wouldn't a week old plant have very little root clusters? How would the water being splashed by the airstones be able to penetrate though the 4-6 inch worth of Rating: 5
