Hiya @AltheGardener thanks pal

Not sure my brain works well enough to try DWC without killing some ladies! Plus would go broke buying water cuz my tap is 350ppm/8.5ph and loaded with chloramine! Not a good feeding choice for DWC and cost more than I’d like using distilled to water soil! Sheesh

Need to make a baby sized solo cup flood n drain system! Maybe can afford to keep it topped off!

Hiya @TxRebel , aye I'm pondering the half litre "DWC" question now. Anyways I might as well update while am in here.

I'm trying Coco in my netpots now and you might notice the lids are on properly too. I had to cull seedlings as the little clay pearls on the upside down lids were compressing stems for fun. The difference in the seedlings is already noticeable. They like the pre charged Coco very much.
Cheerio!

Here's Ring A Ding Blueberry, the extra tube on the left is for feed/fill .I still water the netpot by hand but feed/fill would take ages, and that little hole I'm pointing at is an overflow to prevent the Coco becoming saturated. There's a layer of clay pearls in the bottom of the netpot too and ideally they are just touching the res in there when full. Don't see how that doesn't scale down for a solo cup.

Hey buddy looking good! I’m filling my brain full of more knowledge than I can remember trying to determine if I wanna go the Droski route or if I wanna start couple worm boxes and go all organic! DWC looks like it grows faster and beastly, worm growing seems way cleaner (but I worry it’d be a way to bring bugs easier) and I have no idea how to control pests so don’t wanna make it worse! Really considering coco to start the dro expedition so just wondering what kind of coco u r using?? Only hydro store with it near me ONLY CARRIES a 3/4gal (maybe only 1/2) and it’s pre washed and cut with rice hulls and it’s $34.95 a bag and would need like 5 for my smallest pots! Gonna have to order me some I’m thinking! Thanks buddy n plants looking great!

Hiya @TxRebel I'm using coco bricks that I soak in a 3ltr dose of hydro nutes and I'm only using a netpot full of coco to transition to the res in my bucket, I've used a whole brick so far!! I think the solo cup would be a great way to try it out. I'm gonna post that wee dwc setup for the solo cup battle, but I'm happy to help out with your start up bud

Thanks amigo! I only need an air pump right that I can fit air line into the bottom solo cup that’ll work as a reservoir for nute water for above cup holding plant and whatever material I use to hold plant correct?
