So been watching some vids on dwc and....
So when you first "plant" your seedling in the bucket...the vids say to get the water level up to about 1/2" above the bottom of the net pot...then put it hydroton rocks, then place rooted clone/seedling and then surround it by more hydroton. But that leaves the roots about 3 or 4 or more inches above the water level... so how does the seedling/clone get fed? Do the rocks wick up to the roots?
And... once youre going and the bucket is full of roots...and you get some slight ph drift... and you want to correct it... how??
Drain some water and add more ph'd water and keep doing that (guessing) until you get what you want? Just drop some ph adjuster into the bucket? Just change out all the water in the bucket?
Sorry if they seem like stupid queations...but when you dont know you dont know...lol
