Find some of Derek from Colorado old posts. I can't recall the exact spelling of your screen name but there should be loads of posts over in the deep water culture section. He did quite a bit with deep water culture stuff.

Grow weed easy is also a good source for basic setup on deep water culture

Ok will do,cheers man

@jingo have u had a seedling that seems to not be growing compared to others?
Heres 3 seedlings
The small one is like 1-2days behind the biggest

You can see difference here

I messed up,because i forgot this time i was going to germinate in paper towel,as when i germ in soil i have to give soil a good soak,so means i cant water for at least a week as pots still heavy.and i probably wash some nutes out of soil,and i cant feed root stimiulator straight away etc.

Not sure why the pics have gone sideways either

For me they usually grow or they don't grow. Sometimes when I have a really small seed it'll be a couple days behind. I sometimes allow a little extra time for a real Tiny Seed.

I don't like that one. The pump in that other kit I was talking about probably put out about 15 liters per minute. I think you should look for a minimum of 40 liters per minute. Those are easy to find on my side of the ocean they may not be around on yours.

When using air pumps it's a good idea to keep them elevated above your deep water culture Reservoir. I've heard some guys talk about having a flood if the power goes out and the water leaks backwards out through their pump lines. I'm not sure how exactly that would happen but I've always elevated my pump anyway because they are quieter if you hang them from your tent by a bungee cord.

Sound for that ill look that one up and ill remember that tip,one thing i cant work out.
Is if you have a big res feeding water to bucket under scrog,how does it not just overflow or do you release the water manually

The closet to that one i could find is this one,it says 65litre per minute

If you have a big Reservoir outside of your tent or out from underneath the scrog then it has to be the same height as the bucket you use in your scrog. That keeps keeps your water level at the same height. For instance, my 30 gallon reservoirs are about the same height as a 5 gallon bucket and I don't really use those in deep water culture but I could as long as I get the bucket andras height about the same.

Oh ok,i really want to do a set up like that.how u was saying,like with the tube and air stone through net pot so can just switch it to a different bucket when change the res.just need to learn abit more
