I agree 100%! In my dwc 5 gallon buckets I only have to water twice a week, when I used to grow in soil in 5 gallon buckets I had to water every other day.

Those pictures are over 6 years old or your camera needs the date turned off.
I'm thinking the setting is called date stamp.
Beautiful plants by the way!

I agree with you Huel. Watering every other day sucks when you want to get away or have many things going on. The ease of filling a bucket of water and letting it sit for a week is very nice thus far.
And I'm sorry Marty bout the date. I promise you that those are current photos. For whatever reason the date must have gotten reset to the year of the camera cuz that's when I got it. But thanks for the compliment none the less!

Update On the DWC bucket. All was looking fine until I got back Sunday from a family gathering and noticed halfway down the roots had some discoloration to them. Just certain areas where its turning yellowish/brown. Here are some pics I snapped. The soil plants are the surviving purple pheno Fat Purple.
I'm using Dyna Grow Nutes for the bucket with a lil molasses added in. About 3 drops for 1 bucket. Temps range from 63 to 67 degrees. Anyone got clues? Is it something I have to worry about? I'm about to brew some bennies with ZHO by botanicare. Good idea?

I'd say the roots look fine, a little discoloring is normal. Its the actual chunks of slime you need to look out for. The first couple years I grew DWC I added beneficial bacteria in the form of compost teas, then I decided to try running a sterile rez so I stopped using the teas and started adding H2O2 instead. I honestly couldn't tell a difference between the two methods in terms of the plants health and yield but with H2O2 the rez and root mass looks cleaner so that's what I decided to stick with.

I was hoping you would be able to give me advice Huel. I'm glad to have you on these forums!! I was going to just stick the plant in the beneficial bucket for a day. Not actually mix it in the rez with the nutes. What do you think?

What exactly do you mean by the beneficial bucket? Is it a store bought product or something you brewed yourself? Either way I'd be scared to stick to plan right in it....
I always used GH FloraBlend or a compost tea brewed at my local hydro store, both pretty much the same thing.

Yea I bought some ZHO powder by botonicare. I have some of that and molasses brewing in a separate 5 gallon bucket. I was just going to take the plant in dwc and put it in the ZHO water bucket for a day and see if anything cleans up on the roots. I'll have to do some more research before hand though
