NO extra work...rez change every 7-10 days is great, as long as you keep rez topped off with ph 5.8 water. I personally have not had the nightmare's that "respected" friends here have had with rockwool. If you follow a regimen and keep everything "shipshape" so to speak...I don't think you will experience problem's...that's just my opinion.

I only use rockwool in 2 ways. In DWC it worked OK, and OK in dutch leach trays...but I grew in dutch leach trays without it and got the same results. I don't see the need that justifies the expense of 4" blocks. I use small pieces of r'wool and starter cubes for cloning, but I prefer straight hydroton. It is reusable...over and over. You just wash it with Flora-Kleen at end of each grow (soak at least 24hrs) and throw it in the ready bin. peace

Again. the best thing I ever did to universalize my growing...was to buy a 3.5"holesaw. for 3.75" netpots. I don't worry about the netpot holding plant up...although it does a decent job. I know going in that I will have to support the plant after it get's big.

As far as multi-dwc system...I am almost to the point where I may concede that I need an injection molded rez to pull off my ideas. peace. I will keep you all posted.
latewood Reviewed by latewood on . Water Farm/DWC club OK, since I noticed so many people using the Farms I decided to put out some questions about the buckets that can be kind of like a Farm/DWC thread. Some things info to give, how many buckets do you use, what kind of lights, what kind of yields have you had and what kind of strains you have had the best exp with. Also, this would be a good thread for general questions and suggestions perhaps. With this, new hydro converts and curious folks could just stop in and ask or add their two cents. Rating: 5
