DWC's and Bubbleponics require little to no maintenance. My first grow required 4 reservoir changes over a 6 month period. This is because I had no clue what I was doing, and thought that root rot was being caused by gnats.
The problem ended up being that I didn't have enough oxygen in my res, and there were lights leaks allowing algae to grow inside the tank. These problems, although seemingly unimportant, cause pH fluctuations and algae bloom, and eventually a situation known as root fuck.
This grow I will not change the reservoirs at all, just to prove how incredible this style of growing is. It requires no excess water, no excess nutrients, nothing is wasted.. but more importantly, it is extremely neat, clean, and easy to deal with. I spend 1 hr a day in my garden, if that, for regular maintenance - adding nutes, and checking pH is really all there is to do after the initial construction and assembly. It did take me a few months to familiarize myself with my equipment and growth cycle of the plants, however, and I am not claiming to know-it-all, I am not a professional by any means, but I do believe I can make a few lives easier with the information and experience I have.
I wish all of you could have a professional walking you through it, because it is a stressful and complex thing to attempt for someone completely new to the ways of gardening. Unfortunately, the world is overrun with idiots who think they know how to grow, and are fond of giving their bullshit advice freely. This website was set up in an attempt to educate those passionate about growing, in a friendly and respectful environment, and better yet, you can learn at your own pace.
This is why I am writing a rather lengthy introduction for this thread.
If you do not like to get shit all over the place because you are transplanting from soil-to-soil, or perlite to soil, or coco, or whatever - then DWC is for you.
If you don't like wasting nutrients and water because you have to meet the 1/4 runoff rule, then DWC is for you.
If you don't like clogging your sink, bath tub, or toilet with coco, perlite, or soil then DWC is for you.
If you are a lazy ass and want to grow amazing weed, then DWC is for you. DWC doesn't judge you for being lazy.
1st grow ever ^^ in p.o.s. , way too small tubberware.
