I decided last night I'm going to build my first DWC bubbleponic system. I went out and purchased all the bits today and built it this arvo. Just uploading photo's and will post a thread in hydroponic forum
Good stuff Hoochy. DWC will be my next instalment!

well i got 8 jars (i think...) and they were all treated with a pressure cooker for 3 hours.

They all 250ml and have a perlite/rice flour medium (i got the flour from a natural health store)

I used my glove box i made (using 4 fans with HEPA filters on them all and created a +ive air flow to seal the box shut) for innoculation and sealed with foil STRAIGHT away. I did get my mate to spray the box with bleach before hand so maybe he sprayed too much :(

either way its been 18 or so days and only ONE Jar MIGHT have some growth in it....o i also have a 7watt heating pad hooked upto a thermostat set at 29C and temp is 27-34 ALWAYS.

If you are using reverse osmosis water or rain water then you will have to. I know perth's tap water has alot of calcium in it. Call up your local water company and get a water analysis from them if using tap water. I grow in coco and use 60% rain water and 40% tap water and no problems.

my tap water is around ph 7 personally i wouldnt do hydro with out a ph pen especially in coco it gets a bit touchy with nute probs if ya ph isnt right but thats just my experience
i used to use rain water from our tank but it was pissing me off as it was reading around ph 4.5 so i had to up the ph to much found it easier to lower the tap water
