yeah Im a newbie growing in DWC,,,,just about to chop my 1st plant,,,and wow looking to harvest around 120-150gms dry,,,awesome growth totally unexpected,,,,keep things simple,,,,it does take alot of time to learn and understand,,,as your constantly checking PPM PH,,,temps, RH, etc,,,but soons you learn how to dial all this in,,,you get to understand your plants needs by following your data,,,,and when you get this down,,,its not so much effort then,,,as you know your system,,,and would know its all settled,,,and you hit that sweet spot,,,,and you just watch your plant and the data,,,and act accordingly,,,guys always said to me just watch you plant closely and she will tell you what she needs,,and if your following the data you can re-act accordingly,,,,I had no issue up till wk6 flower,,,Calmag issue but was done to using stronger led for the flower, which was BP4000,,,but apart from that no issues,,,as was following above,,,,being be a newbie wasnt aware of above,,,but will top up the Calmag in veg ready for the 2nd grow,,,but yeah if you got abit of time then jump in,,,but beware things can go down hill in an instant,,,if not checked regulary
On a 5 gallon DWC system the water solution needs to be changed every 1-2 weeks as I understand it, How often should I change the solution if my system holds 30 gallons of nutes? any help would be appreciated!
@@danledbetter9535 yeah I have done run it for 4wks in the veg before changing out rez,,,,,but in flower I change out rez every 7-10 days,,,so yeah if i was you I would just try it in stages an find out wait works best,,,start with 7 days then 10,,,14 etc,,,and just monitor ppms and sometimes this can dictate your change,,,,like if plant stops feeding then may be its time for a rez change then,,,,but just keep a good eye on the water colour,,,if going over 14 days,,,,and if water starts going murky or like cloudy,,,then another good idea to change,,,its mainly down to preference,,,,as longs as your using hydroguard or great white to prevent bad bacteria building up,,,,then you should be good,,,,just monitor feeds an if she stops feeding an its been a while since res change then id change,,,,but if all looks good an plants is eating,,,an water looks ok,,,then yeah should be ok if you just keep an eye on it,,,,
Make sure on your switchover to flowering. The pH drops almost 2 points when you put the first flowering package in. It'll kill a plant in 12 hrs if you forget. Like my cat peeing in soil and absolutely frying it
If u want BIG Buds Get a small kids inflatable pool or Large fish tank , Drop in a sump pump . Pump the dirty, do do brown water through a copper tubing rolled in a coil. Mounted in front of a window AC. Chilling water. Pump into your system . Then bump out through a filter & water bucket with a UV light , then back to fish tank. Use a Bluetooth Temp /EC/PH /Air Temp. Sensor system. Do not use soil plant food in hydroponic systems
I'm a "set it & forget it" type of guy... My system is fully automated & RDWC allows me to attend to all of my plants at once instead of individually. The system also produces larger yields. RDWC is the more expensive method which understandably deter most but if you got the money there's no comparison IMO! I'm all set with the "insects, super soils & compost teas." I just purchased an "Alien V~System" & I'm beyond impressed!
Negative... RDWC is more expensive, less work but with a greater payoff!" My system is fully automated. Outside of changing the reservoir I literally do nothing else! I love doing everything through the reservoir instead of having to attend to each individual plant.
@@skatemetal5062 ~ I apologize, I'm currently running 24 5-gallon buckets, that's the difference. I put the nutrients in my reservoir & leave, I don't have to feed 24 plants individually on top of navigating plants that are in the back of my tents. Promix/Gaia Green lmao... What do you think the average grower start off with LMAO??? YES, I ran through all of that compost teas & all. What I find is that the average grower starts off with soil & run a maximum of 4 plants therefore that's all they know, IT'S CHEAPER! When you get to my level you start looking for convenience, you need everything automated. I literally "SET & FORGET IT!"
Ive done organic and synthetic. Organic is the way. I have other things to do in my life and wondering if ive given her enough nutes or if the p.h is right. Enough water to drive through the plant to prevent salt build up. I will take the less stress please and thank you
Agreed I was a 15 year hydro grower and now with all the great organic inputs for soil like no-till for example i just made the jump back to soil. It was a huge upfront investment but well worth it. You can keep using the soil forever and the flavor and quality is WOW no more bottle nutes form this guys. But I can’t knock the dwc systems they do work amazing. But like you said we are human and we have shit to do I will be staying with the soil forever now.

Iv been using, nft! Getting groth, but root's are not the best!! Ph is on point ☝️ The water pump is oxygenating the water,, but still root's suffering!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You need to get bubbles to your pot, this will lead the roots to the deep water. Also continue aerating the roots for better results. Roots + Air + water is a key combination.
I’m on the same boat I grew some absolutely insane bud that was smoked through dec/Jan/first week of feb this year but with four plants outside I would’ve had way more yield , but the product would’ve lacked the top quality I got for growing in a tent now. (Just started indoors grows this last year, but done many outdoor to great results.
hydro grows faster and bigger but quality is lower. Lab tests and studies have both show more weight per yield, but less potency and terpenes. Not by much but a couple % potency lost is worth something to some who are looking to make concentrates like oils
im thinking of doing this method the question i have is when the system is all set up how do i get the nutrients correct as all buckets need to be thee quarters full when starting its probably a simple fix all help greatly appreciated im a newby at DWC regards all
Hello, I'm building a DWC system ( my first one) I have a question here, how often will I need to change the water solution in my grow container?, the grow container will hold aprox. 25 gallons of solution
That was the first thing I tried, and with no experience it was costly. Coco is WAY Easier, I wasted a lot of money on air pumps and buckets and net pots. Do your research there’s many ways to grow. I recently came across a guy who uses perlite instead of Hydroton

I agree with this statement. Just make sure you get your water straight first.
Definitely wanna try out this method, I grow in soil now but dwc is goals
Facts
Soil is best. Ive used coco DWC rockwool and nothing tastes like soil.
Try kratky method first. It's easy and u get your feet wet. Did it last year. Omg I couldn't believe the results. I used maxibloom nutes
I’m new
Auto gorilla glue in DWC
Wow
After a few problems early I finally got it right the growth is amazing
Why go with Autos?
Stealth, timeframe, and cost.
3 months seed to harvest
dwc is the way i go and im very happy with it. I can recommend

If u want BIG Buds
Get a small kids inflatable pool or Large fish tank , Drop in a sump pump . Pump the dirty, do do brown water through a copper tubing rolled in a coil. Mounted in front of a window AC. Chilling water. Pump into your system . Then bump out through a filter & water bucket with a UV light , then back to fish tank. Use a Bluetooth Temp /EC/PH /Air Temp.
Sensor system. Do not use soil plant food in hydroponic systems
Haha doo doo brown!
hats off to the quick DIY hydro set up maybe you should do a channel
Actually very working system. I've tried brown water with green algae, it's amazing, just don't forget to aerate

It's 15mins a day 😂
I use a RDWC system, it's AWESOME! My only problem is I need more room. Otherwise it's easy! I have to get growing again!
This just complicates something that is so easy, great job

Thanks again
Hassle free 😂, Keeping on top of everything, go Organic your never look back 🌱
Why DWC Hydroponics? Would a dual root zone flood and drain with aquaponics work better? For no chemicals
I’ve been growing using DWC for years it’s the only way to home grow
Just ordered everything
Looks challenging
Plan on trying once I get a new house.
A CoCo Hempy Bucket is foolproof.
0:14 the method I used. It works, but my yields were low. Flower quality is great, but there has to be a better way to increase yield.
I’m on the same boat I grew some absolutely insane bud that was smoked through dec/Jan/first week of feb this year but with four plants outside I would’ve had way more yield , but the product would’ve lacked the top quality I got for growing in a tent now.

Like the content!
You forgot about the Flush of nutrients every 2 weeks or so for my system. This is a large amount of water.
1:03 : Do the Plants look like they are sitting directly in the water / nutrient solution to you? They would all die if that was the case.
That was the first thing I tried, and with no experience it was costly. Coco is WAY
Easier, I wasted a lot of money on air pumps and buckets and net pots.
Do your research there’s many ways to grow. I recently came across a guy who uses perlite instead of Hydroton
I find it easier to do dwc than with soil plants
Thought about dwc . But nah You need a lot of Air pump capacity
T.A Water farm🎉🎉
DWC is the only way I grow
They called it “hydro” back in the 90s
Cant beat super soil for best quality buds.
