So I grow DWC and was getting tired of dumping "waste water" every week, just the hippie in me that hated getting rid of something that could be useful. I am fortunate enough to have space in my indoor grow are so this was my solution:
I chose plants that are known to do well in hydro IE: lettuces, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers etc....
Now when I do my weekly water changes I simply take my "waste water" and RE-PH it to what I'm growing dump it in the res. and presto, fresh organically grown veggies. Honestly I do nothing else, doesn't matter if I'm in bloom or veg I just dump the "wastewater" in and everything has been growing like crazy. I'm not fond of the 3 tier system I have set up as it doesn't allow for light penetration and adding any type of lights to this room will add to much heat, but it works for now
Currently growing:
Romaine lettuce
Butter crunch lettuce
Black simpson lettuce
Bronze mignonette lettuce
Prizehead lettuce
Roma Tomatos
Banana pepper
I pay ZERO attention to ppm etc. all I do is make sure PH is good, then dump in the water. I have been happily harvesting lettuce almost on a daily basis and hope to have some tomatoes soon.
Just curious what everyone else does.
Happy Growing!!!
