yah they don't spray because the pump provides the oxygen. the roots just sit in the res solution. they stay firm and course. i've never had root rot. they feel like horse hair with no slime felling at all. go for it. its literally as easy as my pics. just dont use a clear res. i did it to show people going to my thread. seeya

I have used that type of system before very user freindly very fast growth and when the roots get to big just cut them back and they will keep growing. Nsr bllom works great even in veg and the salution turns colors to tell the ph just suppliment the a little extra nitrogen they make a veg juice but no near me carries it.
If for a mother plant watch for cloning diffaculty as they tend to be very supple so make sure and harden the mother before taking clones hopes this helps.

def your nutes are perfect. dwc is very simple and promotes very large fast growth.def get a big container. check these out. the big ones are my hempstars flowering and the small ones are my lowryder at 23 days old. dwc can shave time off grows at every stage. veg and flower. if you use rockwool the fibres are weaved in a vertical manner to run water down it and stay at the right moisture level. see for yourself. its that easy man. good luck. the roots feel firm and not slimy at all. dont worry about that

get a ppm meter and GH 3 part Flora Seres nutes

looks like youve got your answer. dwc is simple and clean. ebb and flow is the same thing basically but better suited to grows like heaths. sit back and watch it grow. dank weed cultivation all the way!! oh yah the roots are big and so are the buds!

stands for deep water culture or cultivation. very effective hydro system. mines more like a swc. s for shallow. the huge res gets too heavy for me. plus my size lasts for at least 5 days before topup. i don't need it to last 2 weeks. but a big tub does last if your going on vacation. good luck. no sprayers or anything. just pump and airstone. do it.

i've forgotten to plug my airline in a few times after res change and nothing happened after even a few days. didnt help but i didnt notice anything. what if you are out and your drip system or sprayer clogs? dwc is the no work effective way to go. if the air goes out for a day nothing will happen. plus your lights will cause more probs in that situation anyways. yout all good man. dont worry. let it do the work. change res once a week and maybe top up every 3 days and sit back. good luck. you'll be smoking in no time

yes, use a dual diaphram air pump or use 2 air pumps that way if one fails the other will be ok
