I checked out stoney's grow and WOW is all I can say. Your right he does have it all. Well worth the effort he is putting into it.

he says on there he was doing three strains(white rhino, ak47 and hash plant) but he says he is cutting them all out and just doing the rhino now since it pulls good weight and was perfect for the setup. and shit my grow is a full time job and nothing that large i could only imagine how much he works lol

ya those 6 buckets i had were a pain to do water changes in and was the spark for the change for me but you can definitely have a bigger plant in buckets if thats what you are aiming for but the way i see it more plants more yield even if they are a little smaller lol sure people will disagree with me though lol

This is true the res changes suck on DWC bubble buckets but the yield is huge.

Does a DWC always have water on the bottom of the bucket, and if so is this bad if roots reach it? i.e. root rot etc

basically in DWC you are aiming for highly aerated water using a oxygen pump and a air stone in the standing water as long as the standing water is oxygenated its great for root production. in DWC the hard thing is managing water temps if they get to high its very bad i know beaver could give you some good advice on that he uses water coolers to achieve this if im not mistaken.

Ok I was worried about roots sitting in the standing water and getting root rot.
