I recently bought and setup my first DWC Bucket(5 Gal) and here is a lil break down of what I'm working with.
2x2x5 Grow Tent Very well vented and cooled
600W HPS Light(For Flowering)
4 other plants in Coco(About 75% Coco to 25% Perlite)
Medi-One Nutes( A one solution mix from start to flush) N-P-K 4-3-3 Has worked Very well so far for the plants I've had under my care their whole lives.
A COOL MIST HumidifierNO WATER VAPOR+COOL AIR (I recommend for those with heat issues on a Budget).
An oscillating Fan
Six inch ducting venting from hood to end of tent from there I used 12 Inch insulated Ducting running into an Evacuation unit on roof (A whirlybird
The DWC Bucket has;
A six inch airstone
An air pump that is said to be for a ten gal aqaurium
Clear tubing of course
A BLACK Bucket and with six inch net pot
Hydroton Medium
I get Distilled water at 5.5 PH and then I up it to 5.8
I'm running 420 PPM in the DWC Bucket I'm really kinda unsure what to run that at so I'm letting my Girl let me know for now.
I'm changing the nutes every weekend with fresh water and nutes and top off when needed.
I add frozen water bottles when my water is out of range(above 80F really)
So really I'm trying to figure out what this white foam that forms SOMETIMES is. I've noticed it before in my res for my coco plants too once or twice but it was only small patches as this is a VERY foamy when I do see it in my DWC.
I'm not sure if it is Anaerobic or aerobic bacteria and if it's benificial or not. I've done a bunch of research onmy own but I feel like personal input is so much more helpful so please any input is apreciated and have a look at some of my other Vids I'm trying to put it in a Grow Journal soon.
But Good Luck and Good Grow
