First DWC Question?

Hello,

I have a 10 gallon DWC set-up. How many gallons of water should I have in it? How high on my net pots should the water be, or should it even be touching my net pots?

thanks

Roseman's DIY Bubbleponics-DWC Tutorial

The water level is dependent on whether you have clones, sprouts with roots, etc

If you already have roots, leave a one inch to two inch air pocket in between the bottom of the cups and the water line.

Thanks for responding Roseman, I am honored.

I am starting from seeds and the roots are not comming out of the net cups yet?

Then have the bottom of the cups in the water, with LOTS of bubbles to succeeed.

A good idea is to load one netcup with hydroton and rockwool (or whatever) but no seed. Then you can pull it up periodically and check how wet the cube is and adjust either the water level or the amount of bubbles or both.

I just got done changing my water and I have it set about 1/2 above the bottom of my net pots.

I am at day 10, I had a couple of bad days. My cfl's that I ordered for vegging didn't arive in time so I put my seedlings under a 400w HPS. Not realizing it my water got up to 98 F and really pissed my babies off. I lost two of them and now on a few of the others the have shriveled and weak stems.

Roseman, I have read your entire tutorial, but I am realizing it still take a lot of trial and error.
