Your roots? Get out’of here…

Not mine

Grow Mediums - A Must Read for All DWC Growers! Increase your Yields and Get more AIR!!!

So it seems that there has been quite the explosion in interest when it comes to folks doing DWC(deep water culture) growing. I have been growing in DWC for close to 10 years now and the reason I have chosen to stay with that method is because it is the most effective way to deliver O2(oxygen)...

@Master_gRoshi did one several years ago in a 55 gallon trash can that was insane

I bet there is some new strains Farmers that can deliver three, maybe FOUR pounds of quality weed in 100 days

There, I fixed it for you.

Look, at this plant @Blue_dreamer

DWC by a professional!!! He got an enormous root-mass! Can’t find the picture of the roots…. But they are somewhere on this site, I believe.

What a fuck, show me! And I want to do it to

These are the stones I'm running

Honestly I think a big part of my issue is that I keep the water all the way to the bottom of the net cup. I think if I want crazy thick roots I need to keep the buckets at like 1/3rd full, and the air stone makes the moisture in the bucket that keeps the root mass healthy. Because when I did kratky outside last summer I also got insanely massive roots like that.

Ok just putting it out there I also believe nutrients can make a difference if there too hot plants aren’t going to make more roots. Hot soil or feed(dwc) is like burning feet for plants they don’t like it especially auto’s

I would love to do something like that, but I can't grow outside :-(

Would be funny to do a fucking dinosaur of a plant in my backyard with a 55 gallon drum.

I have a bunch that were used to transport fruit juice concentrate.

I once tried DWC in a 20+ gal but I got root-rot!

I'm running 600-800ppm on nutes depending on the plant. If I don't get burnt tips I slowly increase the nutrient amount.

I have a few ideas now on things to do. I don't always run silicon if I don't think the plant will be big enough to need it, but looking like that also helps with root strength too.

Currently growing a Witch Doctor x Anvil that I am going to try a few experiments with to see if I can get improved root growth.

I've heard the big issue when you go to that size of setup is that roots will break off and then rot and cause PH issues.
