Awesome advice guys!!!!

i am very impressed with the information on this thread

caddy
Always run each bucket with its own pump (if possible) preferably with 2 outlets and 2 stones per bucket (more never hurts!)

the best advice i got from this thread was;
run one stone to each bucket, IF ONE PUMP GOES DOWN THE OTHER TAKES OVER FOR THE TIME BEING!

clever thinking onthedl!

respect

THanks bugone, thats just knowlegde passed down to me from others that made sense, afterall a dwc could not exist without a constant flow of h2o in the reservoir.

amen to that , i have now changed my set up to this method which def makes sense!

cheers

Bubbleponics are nice but IMO Hempey Buckets RULE

Im very glad this thread is getting peeps attention. Guess when i started this thread, it was intended to show peeps just starting out with growing in general, that before they went and wasted there time and effort with soil, a simple and effective alternative to growing in soil.The way for me just starting out had to be DWC for sure. If you have the will,energy and patience to get a pot, put soil in it and wait forever for it to grow than i assure you its just as simple to setup a five gallon bucket with net pots, an air pump and stone and some tap water! Their are prolly thousands of posts regarding dwc and every aspect of dwc on this site.Id like to say thanks to rollitup my self!Its awesome peeps are sharing this knowledge with people just beginning if i can help in any way i will. Grow on in dwc!!

I like the idea of this thread, as i just picked up a 5 gal bucket and net pot lid today from the hydro shop while i was getting my digital ph tester.

thanks for the information, i look forward to where this is goin!

Awesome Best initial investment u will make in hydro!

Here are some pics of a bucket i just put together in an emergency situation for some clones i simply didnt have enuff room for!I know its ghetto completely but lol just shiz laying around the house! lol actually i have used anything i could find around the house. From 1 gallon rubbermaid kool aid jugs with garbage bags around them, orange buckets from home depot with tape or bags or the nice black ones from the local hydro store.

Whe yu transplant them from soil to that bucket with the hydroton rocks...how do you go about doing that? Do you just wash the roots off real good then waeve the roots through the net cups? Then just lightly sprinkle the hydroton rocks around it?

Also, when you first moved your plants to the bucket DWC system...how mcuh nuts did you start them out with? 1/2 stength?

Thanks!
Looking good mang!

I have transplanted almost dead,completely nute burned plants into dwc and brought them back to life fast, by doing exactly what u said. In a bowl of water, until u get the dirt off, rinsing several times. Then placing gently into net pots. No nuts in the water solution if plants been nut burned until the first res change i guess.

Thos clones in my bubbler were actually all done in a simple cup of water in indirect light until i got root formation and then simply put into hydroton with a 2 inch buffer between the water and roots. To force root growth. They are doing awesome!

WOW,, F-n interesting sh1t,, since I have a couple of fish tank setups laying around doing nuthin,, I guess I can use this equip to set up a couple nice systems,, I will get started next week,,, but,,, do you think from start to finish, this is a quicker way than dirt and what would you say are the noticable differences someone like me would like to know about dirt to water growing.... GROWING QUICKER----- STRONGER WEED--- BIGGER OR SMALLER---AMOUNT DIFFERENCES??????
