    Great vid but you glossed over the PH which is huge. Still subbed!



  2. Black Macgyver on June 29, 2022 at 5:02 pm

    I’m glad you showed how to change the water, I’ve always wondered. I’m gonna try this soon. Thanks 👍🏽

    Where did you get the tent from?



  4. Brendon Nel on June 29, 2022 at 5:03 pm

    Im sorry man but the statement of significantly larger yields via DWC vs Soil is just bullshit and you know it. Unless you can provide substantial evidence or proof dont make stupid statements like this, your putting would be growers under false impression.

    What kind of light and light cycles need to happen?



  6. Callum Howe on June 29, 2022 at 5:07 pm

    As a first time grower can anybody recommend if I would be better using soil or going DWC I’m just a simple man wanted a high yield of quality tomatos



  7. Jesus Mendoza on June 29, 2022 at 5:07 pm

    I love it,thank you,video was as easy to understand

    Dwc is by far the easiest way to grow weed that ive come across,,i use ph’d nutrients,with water from my tap,,never measure ph,,dont even own a ph or ppm meter,,granted with tapwater ive had to expeirment to get the right amount of nutes,,my medium instead of buying hydroton,i use gravel out of my driveway ,washed well of course,,my airstones ,,,well just say i dont believe in them,,i hook an anchor to my airhose,,ie a brass fitting fer weight,,an let them buckets boil without a plugging up damn airstone,,this does not damage the root system like everyone thinks,,as a matter of fact it does quite the opposite,,the roots surround the airhose where air enters the bucket,,and before bloom phase i have a bucket full of roots ,,big massive rootballs, also i use a 300watt led by green sunshine co.i grow 3 plants cause thats whats legal,i average 34 lb at harvest ,since i dont and cant legally sell ,,this is more than enough to keep my personal weed stash fullfilled,and ALL my freinds that have sampled my weed ALL say its better weed than we can buy in the store..now if you have a liscense to grow and sell there are things you can do to increase harvest,like maby a better light.altho the gsc light is fabulous i would like to run 2 ofem,,but trying to keep my grow cheap,,and besides i get plenty to do what i need,,also thru many expierments ,i do not and will not pinch the main bud off my plant in veg,,as a matter of fact i dont stress them atall,ive found with stressing i get a larger harvest,,but the more i stress them the less quality i get,,harsher smoke,,so ya if you are new to dwc get with it dont let the rocket scientists on youtube change your mind,,,its not difficult,it damn sure isnt rocket science and doesnt have to be ,,i must impress upon you the single most important thing ,,use nutrients with a ph buffer,,if you dont you will be testing and adjusting ph every 3 hours or so,,this makes for a very difficult work filled grow,,the nicest thing about dwc ,,,i can thoroughly flush my plants before harvest,,which when using these chemical nutes i highly recomend a good thoro flush,,if your plants arent taking on fall colors look like its dying then you havent got them flushed,,besides ive also found the better the flush the better the smoke,, so like i said dont let the rocket scientist scare you away from dwc ,,its by far the easiest fastest grow ive found an i been growing every since i can remember,,good luk on your up n coming green thumb have fun grow quality an not just another pile of weed



  9. laurie gallant on June 29, 2022 at 5:10 pm

    forgive me if im wrong butt doesnt white reflect light and black absorbs it. thats why grow rooms are white to reflect everything and black gets super hot in light because it absorbs it



  10. uranderson on June 29, 2022 at 5:10 pm

    I heard elsewhere that you shouldn’t use clear tubing for the air pump system since it promotes algae growth.



  11. walster59 on June 29, 2022 at 5:12 pm

    Great vid,i had a go doing this but i think i got the ph wrong.So i gave up and transplanted my plants into soil.
    I want to have another go so what should the ph be?



  12. Justin Sim on June 29, 2022 at 5:16 pm

    Days away from purchasing all I need to start this grow. Hope I don’t miss anything.
    Really looking forward to seeing how different this is than growing with soil.



  13. Iron Meowden on June 29, 2022 at 5:19 pm

    Love your channel. Thx for growing 😁👍💚
    WE MAKE WIAP GREAT AGAIN!



  14. Christopher Gaus on June 29, 2022 at 5:19 pm

    Why do a lot of DWC setups you see on Amazon have a water pump as well?



  15. Lucin P on June 29, 2022 at 5:20 pm

    What is the best way to get the seedling into the basket



  16. iain bambury on June 29, 2022 at 5:20 pm

    We’re can I by the pots and lids to make my own one sir I’m from scottland and light sister one with out a bales sir please help brother out



  17. Jovaughn Ramirez on June 29, 2022 at 5:22 pm

    I have two growing with a water pump and had leaks at the beginning damaging my flooring. This setup is so much better. Got three in this setup and NO mess!!!



  18. L Russ on June 29, 2022 at 5:23 pm

    Great video, only tip I can add is to use black air tubing ( if possible) to help further prevent algae.



  19. oeun 90 on June 29, 2022 at 5:24 pm

    does the water need to be ph?



  20. GrImMiTy on June 29, 2022 at 5:25 pm

    I’m a soil junkie but im def trying this with my next run of tomatoes. Ill prob fall in love with it of course. Thanks for the great vid!



  21. Мак Мм on June 29, 2022 at 5:27 pm

    Check out this video, the smarter DWC system https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18nUJaOwRW8&



  22. Ema Rose on June 29, 2022 at 5:28 pm

    Id like to know how can you do a dwc system with a scrog net, seems hard to lift the lid or the plant to check on nutrient solution and roots



  23. Unknown IP on June 29, 2022 at 5:30 pm

    Nice bro… really thinking about doing a dwc



  24. levi kenney on June 29, 2022 at 5:32 pm

    How do you mix much food for fruit



  25. MoJoe on June 29, 2022 at 5:32 pm

    How much water needs to be touching the roots at a time? How long after the seed is germinated can you place it into this environment for growing?



  26. Red-Dragon_ Akuma on June 29, 2022 at 5:39 pm

    Need Link to the Top Lid you bought with net



  27. Jayrock Cultivation on June 29, 2022 at 5:44 pm

    What is the water temp needed



  28. Lux197live on June 29, 2022 at 5:44 pm

    I’m becoming interested in a dwc run, just one tester plant! It’s very very interesting how it works! I recently made a homemade cloner and is working fantastic now.

    Can you explain feeding, ph, temperature needed for a dwc? Thanks



  29. Woke Burn on June 29, 2022 at 5:44 pm

    Just found your video tonight gonna implement this and try



  30. Soul Santoro on June 29, 2022 at 5:45 pm

    What nutrients would you recommend for the best results with this setup ?



  31. SpecterVlog on June 29, 2022 at 5:47 pm

    Curious as to what kind of water to use? Obviously not tap – Some people say RO but others say its not good for DWC?



  32. PropagandaMinister on June 29, 2022 at 5:48 pm

    I have a question, for a 6 bucket dwc system; how much gph should my air pump be?



  33. razorback0z on June 29, 2022 at 5:50 pm

    White buckets matter



  34. Shervenia Pettigrew on June 29, 2022 at 5:51 pm

    I’m thinking about doing this but I still have a lot of questions. How big the the air pump whole needs to be? What temperature and nutrients do I need to use for certain strains? Where do you purchase the grow medium that you used from? Lights and light settings needed in the beginning?



  35. Bill Ross_614 on June 29, 2022 at 5:56 pm

    This was great 👍 so I saved it 🎄🌱🎄



  36. Eugenios T. on June 29, 2022 at 5:57 pm

    How big should the bucket be? Same gal/ltrs like in soil?
