So I'd done top feed forever, but after all the buzz around DWC decided to try it. Built a single RDWC unit to get the hang of it before going all out. Main 5gal bucket has a 8" net pot lid with hydroton and a dual air pump with fairly high output, second 5gal is the rez and circulates water through the main one.
So far the two cuttings(ez-clone) I've tried haven't really kicked in and grown well, despite lots of bubbles they seem like maybe they're drowning? Not sure. I've got the bubbles coming all the way up through the hydroton, is that to high? Should the water be lower? Seems like hydroton doesn't wick much so I'm afraid of roots drying out? What's the official method here? Thanks!
