No problem. Silica will ensure that your tomatoes won't need so much extra support when they start getting FAT tomatoes growing on them!

Heres an awesome page about one guys decade plus experience in growing tomatoes outside in hydroponic systems. http://home.comcast.net/~schneirj/hydro.htm

Thanks silverback

I'm watching impressive growth from my DWC tomato. I made a measuring stick out of LEGOs last night, put it up before I went to sleep, woke up 8 hours later, the plant had already grown over the stick and is almost touching my light. Two inches of growth in 6 hours of darkness. I love DWC.

take care of it outside like you would inside, you'll get fat juicy tomatoes,

I should be starting soon seedlings are getting pretty big. My cucumbers are growing massive very quick but there going in the ground and container

DWC in a 5 gallon bucket will absolutely work and its a cheap and easy way to get into the hobby. Check out my thread from last year, the first few sets of photos are dead but click on and you will see the monster pepper plant that I grew DWC Bucket Chili Pepper

I am just now starting a second grow, I have a Fatalli pepper seed sprouted but im actually leaning more towards doing some herbs, thinking about putting three 3" net pots in in a 5gal bucket lid to grow 3 varieties. what do you all think about that idea?

yea it would make sure the water is filled to brim, have low ppm for first 2 weeks
