It’s not difficult but does require a simple routine of checking solution level, pH and EC . Nothing grows bigger plants than DWC. Use 1 plant per container. A good RDWC as suggested above is a very productive system. Veg short. You will see why in stretch. I suggest topping and supercrop both starting early. Have fun. You can watch them grow almost.Hello, I'm new to growing. This lat run I used coco coir for the 1st time with my autos and very happy with the results so I was thinking of setting up a small feeding system for my 5x5 tent then I realized that I may as well run hydro if I'm doing all that and it's basically the same thing. I was looking at deep water culture buckets but that seems too easy to not have a catch to it that I'm not seeing. I think this may be my best bet starting off if it's as it seems. Anyone have experience with this? Growing in coco has given me a better understanding of how soiless mediums work. I did have a couple ph imbalances but came out pretty good and I'm about to start flushing those. Anyway any advice welcome. Thanks!
Slightly differing viewpoint here. Keeping the res cool is important, but with regular use of Southern AG antifungal I have had no problem with my res in the low 70s. Don't take that as "don't worry" but strict sub-70F may not be necessary in all situations.Big warning with warm weather approaching. Your solution must stay 70 F or cooler to prevent big issues. A chiller might be required for your situation. Do a lot of reading beforehand because once you’re underway things can turn quickly. Root root, algae, slime. It’s very easy to stay clean and hell trying to get back there with sick plants.
You’re in Alaska eh? Even then daily rez checks are recommended as well as regularly looking at the roots.Slightly differing viewpoint here.

Amen to both. I setup an electronic monitoring system for my environmental and ph/EC, it has been awesome.You’re in Alaska eh? Even then daily rez checks are recommended as well as regularly looking at the roots.
When I lived in Peters Creek I didn’t need a chiller. Got sent to NM to finish out my career for 18 months and DWC without a chiller was out of the question. I rigged waterfalls but the ambient temperature was too high for anything but mechanical cooling to help.Amen to both.
