First DWC, Need Advice!

Hi, I have just compiled a DWC and i was wondering if there was anything else I'm going to need? i have a basic picture of what the operation looks like. Im trying 2 grow 1 LARGE indica dom. plant. Once again this is a first time thing, any suggestions? does this look correct!?

Supplies:
One 5 gallon bucket
One Air Pump
One Net Pot
Two Air Stones
Two Lengths Of Tubing

The setup seems complete. For this to be successful I think you read more into the cycle of things. Getting the equipment is the easy part. Applying it is where people get fucked.

With DWC environment is instantly affected by changes to the water. Good or bad. So getting tools to monitor PH and EC will be a benefit.

The only thing I would say I dont see you having, that you might need is a water heater (you MIGHT need it).

dont forget the medium, like hydroton or suregro...nutes, a ph meter, a tds meter...im assuming you have a light and proper ventilation...set it up so you can drain it easy with a siphon or gravity drain...just some advice...and im not sure why you would ever want to use a water heater in dwc...water temps should be kept at 68 deg F...once you get into the mid 70s and 80s you can get root rot

Get 2 buckets and lids. Makes solution change easier.

And yeah, you are going to need ph and ppm meters. Can't be flying in the dark.
