A DWC system question
    #7364922 -

Say I have a deep water culture system. What allows the nutes and water and such to be transported from the resivore in the bottom to the net pots (that are roughly and inch or so above the water.

Someone want to give me a pic. of how a dwc works or some shit? I got one and I want to understand how the fuck the water gets up to the seedlings/cuttings..

Thanks,
HTR

The system relies upon an air pump and an air stone to bubble air through the nutrient solution to mix it, but also in the beginning to generate spray, so as to get the clay pebble medium wet in order to establish the roots through the net pot. Consequently, the water has to be high enough to saturate the clay pebble medium by means of getting it wet or even moist via the actions of the bursting air bubbles. Once the plant has established a good root system, then it is advisable to lower the level of water in the bucket so that some of the roots can be allowed to hang in the air between the net pot and the water level. The majority of the roots live in the aerated deep water, 24 hours a day. With 24 hours a day in mind, as the roots are constantly submerged, it is crucial that the air pump is on 24 hours a day. If the pump is allowed to be off for any length of time, the roots will suffer from being waterlogged and starved of oxygen.

To get really high is to forget yourself. And to forget yourself is to see everything else. And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe. And I think every human being should be a conscious tool of the universe. . . .

I was hoping to use a verm based mix in a net pot so it would 'wick' the moisture to the medium. But would this take the nutes with it too?
