another top vid my friend, 1st time dwc grower here an your clips have helped me alot, currently in wk3 flower and all going stong, and alot of tips from you me friend, so thanks and love the live shows
Thanx
This video was honestly interesting and not boring like other videos—I watched the whole thing and I learn quite a bit from this appreciate you bro GOT A NEW SUB
What was the name of the pump
Barely anyone covers DWC. Thanks!
Great analogy’s. Subscribed.
great my friend thats where i want to be later down the line, being in a position to help others so yeah great clips my friend keep it up the cause
its true it was scarey at the start but I made sure i did my research again an again, and it was all the data collection and being hands on thats got me to go DWC, and so far its great, and like you said info an help is out there just dont panic and do your research, Ive picked up so much in such a small time, its been great being able to track my plant what she eats how much she drinks, etc then i go off my data and its doing me well so far, no excess of defic, as only feeding abit more then she takes, but keeping a range in mind and slightly increasing wkly, and doing this Ive had no issues, and being going off lucas formula, keeping it simple till i learn the ropes, just 1 plant, but next run already in the planning lol to expand,
Bought hydro buckets the have a side compartment with a flaps make changing the water and checking pH a breeze and has holes at the top for plant training well worth the money ..worth checking out
Hey Dusa, I was having problems when running dwc years ago but want to try it again.
My veg plants would look great and grow great throughout. But as soon as I switched to my flower cycle sky plants would basically die within a week and the ph was dropping so fast.. my root system looked great not really brown or anything but my plants would turn really yellow and die. To you have any tips for this? I don’t really recall my water temp but I don’t remember the exact temp.
Thanks for any help as I try this again cause I think dwc produces the best equality.
Great video. I appreciate hearing your story. I’ve had some of the same issues. My first 3 plants all had root rot. So I did a deep dive looking for solutions. This time, in addition to all the things you mention (air, temp, cleanliness, etc) I treated the roots with hydrogen peroxide before I added them to the system. (I also sterilized the grow tubs) Fingers crossed! Thanks for the vid!
Dusa where the leak prevention videos?
Appreciate it my guys. Going to try to implement mine at the end of summer.
Every single person ik that does dwc kills plants and gets root rot…plus although the overall outcome is way more biomass its half as much fruit…I got an idea… grow in soil or coco best results!!! And it’s actually not an opinion it’s very factual…to date I’ve witnessed 11 different coco/soil/hydro side by side grow comparison and always coco and soil finish closely similar but ALWAYS the hydro comes in with 50% less fruit… granite hydro plants looked nicer and were bigger they always produce less fruit in all 11 grow comparison I’ve witnessed…11 times same results pretty much…that’s facts
Been growing in peat/vermiculite @50/50 and add in gypsum and Dolomite lime. I run 20-10-20 peters nutrients with cal mag @ 1.3 EC. This is my first delve into DWC and I’m loving how informative you are about it. From my research I was close, but ordered that bigger pump the second you said too and canceled my active aqua that was coming tomorrow. 😅 I just found your channel and enjoyed this content and plan to check out more of you stuff. I always find learning in even seeing what other people do, always a gap that is filled and a spark in my mind where more makes sense on different issues everyday. May your clouds always be thick and your buds dense. Much love
yeah just a quick one about water levels, well as plant drinking more now water, decided to higher my water level, on res change, came back an hour later, and they was all drooping, but I freaked and just switch them back, but yeah think it was because of the increase in water, so will go back to how things was, but yeah you have to have it dialed in, and if not she soon tells, and you have to catch it early, good job Im about to do that,,but learning so much as a newbie 1st time grower, and yeah getting to grips with it now, and we going strong atm, so good luck and keep up the great things you do, your teaching us guys so much

Dope video and yeah it’s hard to find content on dwc appreciate the videos brotha 💯
Great information!
Self reference:
Pump is 290 GPH
1/4 of air per water
12 gallons water (in 3 buckets)
He had 4 buckets 4 gallons in each.
16gallons total.
Pump is 3.75 GPM
.25 under amount needed.
GPH 16*60= 960/4 225gph needs 240gph would be enough, more is better.
I’m about to switch from organics to bottle nutritions
Been growing DWC for over 25 years and back in the day there was nothing as informative as your video on that method. I had to learn the hard way back then. Today I’m all dialed in and will never go back to soil. Nice Channel. Subscribed.
I grow DWC in the winter
Advanced Auto Parts sells black 5 gallon buckets that the DWC lids fit perfectly on to.
I need some help do nutrients go bad when they sit around sub strate is what I’m using also can a 5 gallon net pot be the cause of slow growth being as it’s fighting the hydro ball’s to get into the pot I’m 3 weeks in and just feel like something is off
Awesome stuff. Great way to help new growers. Love the attitude you find with most people involved in the cannabis industry. You see people handing out dabs at 420 festivals. Who gives out free product now days? LOL
Where’s the podcast at?
I fw the videos bro🌿
Reppin’ The Squad… ICU Playa! #RaginBulls
Thanks for the info. 👍😎
Great information brother 👍🏾 💯💪🏾
My biggest question is, I know you said two inches from the pot, but what about when roots haven’t developed to that point yet? I plan to start in rockwool because I always do whether seed or clone and I usually go into my soilless medium when the rock wool shows signs that my girls are drinking more. What level do I put that water at when I get them into the stage where I’m moving my rockwool into my clay in the baskets? Sorry for the weird long question. And thanks in advance
I have a fan setup on the air pump cus it warms up and hot air in no good with a fan on it it stays cool and cooler air holds more oxygen
Thank you for these tips. Your delivery was great, really digestible. Much appreciated.
Setting up my rdwc system now, just doubled up on my air supply, thanks for the advice.
Thank you for this info
Root rot, algae and I’ve had my plants just wilt overnight which looks like verticillium fungus. I learned to clean and change to pot right away. I admittedly never clean my pots when growing until the end. I just add more nutes and hope for the best because I’m a new grower but I will start cleaning bi weekly now that I’m on my 4th grow and tired of losing random plants. I just lost a Gookies plant that was looking great
I messed around in a few gardens, trimmed a few trees, and thought I knew it all. Then I started my own plants and got humbled. Turns out I barely know the basics. Reddit and YT videos like yours are the only thing keeping my plants alive. I just had to save them from drowning cause I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to submerge your netpot in water. Your content is great for beginner/intermediate growers. Quality info without the brain overload.
I am learning from you From your mistakes my mistakes It’s very educational
Good video bro. N thank you for tips for real much love bro
Idk if you have used Advanced Nutrients . I’ve used it since 2018 and never had an over feeding , pph, or under feeding issue it even will ph your water depending on off the water is before any nutrients are added.
that back ground pic dope as fuck
nice video <3
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sea weed
i’m a semi beginner grower this is my first time experiencing root rot i’m doing a dwc, how can i reverse this? 7 weeks old vegging
Look into a fuel transfer pump. It’s invaluable for DWC
love it!!! thx
what about ppm in 2 last weeks on bloom time
dude i took ur advise and changed my airstone cause my coco was outdoing my dwc, WOW!
