I used to do a small DWC for veg but the last 2 crops, i transplant earlier into what you see in the small plants, then i hand feed them till they go into the res(when roots come out i fill the tray with nutes and put an air stone in there) once in the res the roots are already hanging a few inches so my res nutes are never higher then an inch from the bottom of the buckets , usually 2-3 inches below, remember since im in coco most of the root are in the bucket being top fed with the drain holes haing whatever roots can come out, BUT sometimes i need to slow my nute floew on top cuz the roots wll clog the drain holes, making it slower, but its ok, the way i see it, my system is all of the hydro systems combined into one simplified version, BREAKDOWN is theres- DWC for hanging roots, coco medium with- top feed, also making it partially flood and drain, cuz it fills during top feed cycle then drains into the DWC res, all in an affordable easy tent, i love this style!!!!!
