Ummm, I would not count on anything at home depot. They will not have RW, I have never once seen them in those stores. You could make your own grow miduims. Hell, you could use Legos! Or ....

You could really get creative.

link is forbidden lol. but ill probably start the plants in soil then transplant them into whatever grow medium i end up getting.. still leaves the problem of the net pots though

http://www.instructables.com/id/Simple_DIY_Hydroponics_net_potbasket_from_recycle/

that could be an option.. i could go with perlite for medium. that would be easy to come by around here. as for net pots, i could make those out of some sturdy cups.. ill hash all this out tonight when im setting up the new system!!

im building 2 dwc tubs tonight! idk what im gonna do about height restriction though.. do the tubs have to be deep? or can i get a shallow one with the same volume. and how many plants can i fit comfortably in say an 18 gallon tub?

and im getting kinda nervous about the seeds coming.. its been 8 days and they havent shown. attitude said orders can take 6-10 buisness days internationally, but i tracked the package from the royal mail and it said it had been delivered over seas to the usps. so i checked at usps and the only information they had on the package was that the origin post was preparing shipment of the package... so i think customs may be sending me a letter soon...

well.. i picked out the wrong caulking for the dwc tubs. not water tight.. :dunce: so! they will be done tomorrow or so. for net pots i used some pretty robust party cups with holes drilled in.. as for medium.. im not positive yet. i may just use soil. also, im having trouble finding suitable nutes for the setup. i dont want to go with real high doseage nutes.. any suggestions on medium or nutes? thanks guys. as soon as all of this is up and running ill start a new thread for it :-P

Nice, a little jagged on the holes for the cups to fit in, but hey, its functional. I thought about making a DWC cloner. I hear they work great!
