Deep Water Culture - Sweet Basil

http://vimeo.com/3910153

A video of sweet basil clones, taken from a mother in soil, doing rather well after initial rooting and transplant.

No meter yet for checking TDS/EC/PPM and pH, but all will be okay for Basil, it's pretty hardy.

Nice, I just started two more DWCs, one habanero, and one thyme. Nothing like growing your own herbs. House smells great.

what size dwc bucket do you use for your thyme?

i just started playing with dwc in my grow and have recently taken an interest in regular gardening as well.

For thyme you could use a one gallon DWC and be pretty well-set.

That's what I'm using right now. A one gallon cake frosting bucket from my old work. Obviously I cleaned and sanitized it. Small aquarium stone and pump. Gen Hydro nutes. Great sprigs.

The sweet basil clones have pushed roots through the boundary of the net pot!

im using one of those buckets for a small reservoir right now and have often thought it would make a good dwc bucket.

i just picked up 20 bare root strawberry starts and was going to try one in a small dwc.

Another Update:

Well, yesterday roots showed, just barely under a centimeter.

Now, they're at least a full inch out of the pot.

The growth is insane!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, i noticed that you use a white bin if light goes to the roots does it not gave it root rot or risk of root rot? also what Nutrient do you use and how much do you put in it?

Peppers grown in very dry conditions have more bite, I wonder how yours will turn out.
