9 plant DWC hydroponic system, for starting seeds and clones, or replacing
original equipment on the Mini. DWC (Deep Water
Culture) units are commonly referred to as "bubblers" and are used for a method
of growing plants hydroponically in a bucket of nutrients with the plant
suspended over the nutrients and the roots growing down into the nutrients which
are super oxygen saturated by pumping large volumes into the nutrient solution
with the aid of an aquarium style pump with an air stone attached to the
airline.
Plants grown in this method grow at super fast rates due to the fact that they
are being fed large amounts of oxygen. This is the same reason that the roots
can sit in the nutrient solution without drowning. This method of growing is
perfect for a hobby grower or one who wishes to grow for personal use. Large
scale commercial growers also use this method in a large scale grow.
For someone who only needs a 1/2 dozen plants, this method of hydroponic
cultivation is an excellent way to grow. When an environment has been created to
provide your plants with the optimum conditions required for fast, healthy
growth, the one limiting factor left is how much oxygen can be provided to the
roots of the plants. DWC growing will take care of this factor and then some!
The roots will receive huge amounts of oxygen for some of the fastest growth
rates possible. DWC is one of the easiest and yet most effective forms of
hydroponic cultivation. In addition, a DWC system is almost maintenance free,
and very easy to operate year after year. The simplicity of the system means
there is little to break. However, your plants are not aware of this, and they
thrive in these systems!!
Perfect starter system for young clones and seedlings.
