I have seen so many great things about growing hydro like it growing faster and delicious buds and low maintenance. My boyfriend and I want to get a deep water culture going but I need some tips. Such as: Why is the best cost efficient way to make a system at home? I pretty much have a list of the stuff I need after watching videos on building kits and seen diagrams so the set up is not so much the problem I guess. But one question that has me totally is stumped is; if doing top water feed can cause root rot, how is it that roots constantly being in the water not cause root rot? Also, will I be using the same nutes to grow with (currently using Fox Farm Grow Big 6-4-4 at 1/2 recommended dose ( I believe we used 1tsp per gallon) and Superthrive (1 drop per gallon). I know the water must be changed every 10 days, so I was wondering also what the smallest container I can use to grow just one plant to good size (not huge) 5 gallon bucket? And I read somewhere that the air stone should not run all the time, is this true? If so, what periods should it have of no bubbles? I know I have more questions but can't think of them all right now (damn pot head), but please if there's anything to give a pointers to a new hydro grower, let me know!
