I always keep my water level above all of my roots in my medium because i have some flying pest that eats my roots if there larvae can breath, submerging my root zone was my solution to kill them and it worked great, my plants also thrive under these conditions.

I use a dual air pump one side feeds my air stone the other side I use to air lift the water into my drip line. I do it like this because the drip line keeps my water cooled off so I don't have to purchase a water refrigerator piece it's like a 200$ part . The lights I'm using are super hot 1000watt and without the drip line my water would heat up well over 70°. The drip line keeps the water at a perfect 68° also ensures my roots don't dry out an thr growth rate is jaw droppingly fast I mean I put a time lapse on my plants in 24 hours time you see a remarkable difference I'm saying like everyday my plant looks like its doubled in size. It just a shit ton of o2 and the gravity of the water dripping on roots encouraging them to grow an fill up that bucket

The air tube is hooked into a line that drops into the water, it pushes water up the larger tube and into the drip ring. I know it's clear as mud, but I can't remember the actual terminology at the moment.

How does water come out of the drip ring attached to an air pump
@HowlingFarms
Жыл бұрын
Howdy. The basics of it is that air from the pump is forced down the thinner diameter tube. The air then pushes up water inside the larger tube that’s connected to the drip ring. And the water trickles out of the holes in the ring. This is not to be confused with using submerged pumps that push water upwards as in some drip systems. This one uses air.

Like with algae I ask because since it's clear doesn't it allow light inside the bucket
@HowlingFarms
4 жыл бұрын
I have had absolutely zero algae growth from using clear tubing. The light that would penetrate would be minimal. The hole is under the lip of the bucket shielding stray light from above. I would assume that any light penetrating from the sides would be reflected light. And because of the thickness of the tubing it would not have much penetrating power. Plus keep in mind the hose once inside the bucket drops straight down along side of the filled net pot several inches before it finds any water. If your water is oxygenated well and not kept at a hot temperature, even with light, your algae growth should be non-existent.

These net pot lids have pretty much fit every 5 gallon bucket I have put them on. In some cases the lid fit really snug, but after it's been seated for a while they tend to reshape to the bucket. I haven't had an issue. Of course, there may be different manufacturers of the lids that may have different diameter sizes.

I wander why on earth would you need a tube to see what the water level is? I mean just lift the lid and look. The extra hole at the bottom is just an extra possibilitiy for leackage. Why not just leave it out?
@HowlingFarms
4 жыл бұрын
If done properly it doesn't leak, and it saves time, especially if you have multiple buckets in an enclosed space. Not to mention, lifting bucket lids far enough to see the water levels can damage plants, especially if the plants are screened or otherwise tied for training.

kyle baxter the drip ring has an air tube that pushes air down, which in turn pushes water/nutrients upwards and it fills the ring allowing it to drip out. When not being used anymore, remove the air pump and tubing and leave the drip ring in for the remainder of the grow.

You don't want to top water at all with a DWC system. The roots will behave differently than they should in a DWC. The full benefit will be lost most likely.
@HowlingFarms
7 ай бұрын
Completely incorrect. When the plants are young (seedlings) and do NOT have roots beyond the medium you're using in your buckets, you're top feeding. The air pumps that create the bubbles inside the bucket are aerating the water and constantly agitating the water/nutrient solution for an even mix (no settling). Shortly after I made this video people started marketing this system. You'll find these systems now readily available online.

How does the grommet not leak
@clawbennett
4 жыл бұрын
Michael Richardson it’s a very snug fit. The grommet has a grove on its outer rim that the bucket (being drilled in slightly smaller diameter) pops in to. Once it’s installed and the tube fit inside is an extremely tight fit if done properly. The grommet will not come out even when removing the elbow. But once in I’ve never had to disassemble the grommet or elbow from the bucket.

Howling Farms Not to be rude but c’mon.... a tutorial is supposed to be informative is it not? Especially if you take into account the basis for which your video is intended. A tutorial for people who otherwise have no idea what the hell to do. Adaptation is something that comes after we have version 1.0 down to a T. And failing to provide the info is frustrating. Take a look there aren’t any good tutorials on DWC. Just a bunch of stoned people with no script and shaky camera hards stumbling over a sentence that is void of any decent info. I urge you to recreate a another video as your content is solid. Just lacking specific information for the Hydro Newbs that exist like me.
