6 Crucial Keys to Deep Water Culture Success!!!

if you didn't know,,,, now you know!!!

[@Carlfukinevans]

This is one of the best videos I've seen on RDWC. Hit the nail on the head with respect to how important the water temp, airration, ph and ppm. PPM and ph for people that have small res tanks is horrible thats another big factor. Great video. Oh and dehumidifying also a big one. Excellent video. Definitely professional.

High🎉 So excited to find you. We been growing in happy dirt. Im buying air stones. Im binge watching your content. Running general hydroponic and great white. My first auto. 🎉😊🎉😊. Grandma growing medicine. Thank you so much.

I know a guy that doesnt pay much attention to water temps. had a few mold problems in his days.

[@RT-qz5ci]

Been doing rdwc (undercurrent) for 10 years and this man is spot on. Very well planned and executed sir

[@thewell-roundednovice8852]

Thanks! I though about what I was going to say for a while before I made this video

[@camarodude9615]

A lot of good info!! I'm on my first RDWC run, wk 2 day 3 of flower plants are looking real good. I've been doing water changes every week we'll it kinda seems like a waste of water and nutrients I'm glad I ran across your video on resivor water, if the PH is stable I should be able to just mix up the top off res I have sitting next to the main resivor to the same PH an add it.watching your video is going to save me a lot of money in nutrients and water thanks for the Awesome help 👊

Good luck!

Thanks for these tips. I just started to grow in hydro and this video helped

[@thewell-roundednovice8852]

Good luck.... build something cheap the first run... then once you know what you like, build something that will last

[@timpage5021]

Precisely.. Years back I had a plant crush my lid and net pot falling into the bucket . A support system is critical.

[@DrGonzo12676]

Proper nutrients is a key as well, hydroponics does not work well with organics, I've always heard clear nutrients are important. You don't want murky sludgy water. Good break down 👍

[@thewell-roundednovice8852]

Agreed... i use gh for that reason(clean and not gunky)

[@DarkChild1758]

I grew some good shit with floranova in rdwc. Only stopped using it because of cost

[@randomletters1834]

I love the way your setup is structured.

I'll be trimming all day! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!

[@seawatchmakers]

One quick thing that I see so many people do. If you move your water chiller out of the room your ac does not have to work as hard. You are just removing the heat from your water and recirculating it back into your water and room .

[@thewell-roundednovice8852]

This is a grow room, not a tent.... there's no way that I'm going to drill holes in my wall to run a chiller outside the room when I have a propane burner making heat in the room... my minisplit is oversized for alot of reasons

[@seawatchmakers]

@@thewell-roundednovice8852 I mounted my chiller outside and it makes a big difference.

Man I wanna revisit rdwc. Had ph swings running uc roots fought slight root rot

[@thewell-roundednovice8852]

Takes a run or 2 to get a system dialed in... then they run themselves when you know what to expect

[@craigclark8655]

Awesome video Bro. Well explained and spot on. I even picked up a tip. I generally target 5.8 ph throughout. I am gonna bump it up during flower.

[@thewell-roundednovice8852]

👊

[@ahouston3202]

Let her fluctuate! 5.8 is optimal however certain minerals are absorbed better in the lower 5s and low to mid 6s. I honestly stopped chasing 5.8 and my ladies were still on point.

[@thewell-roundednovice8852]

👊

[@86peppers]

great video! So, if you do not change your water, how do you balance the nutes in your water? For example, If plants are drinking more N than P or K and you keep feeding the same mixture every week, aren't your NPK levels going to be out of whack?

[@thewell-roundednovice8852]

Seems to go fine.. so far so good

[@TheAWilloughby]

Hey bro, love the videos. Thanks for posting the free education. I'm just getting into growing and I'm planning my first hydro system. I really think I'm going with RDWC and a robust set up like you and a few other channels build. Question, do you use all food grade buckets? Is there a concern for BPAs or anything leeching into the plant, and if so, do we consume it if we smoke it?

[@thewell-roundednovice8852]

I do use food grade,but the concern is only with cleanliness and longevity really... non food grade is just more porous, so it gives bad bacteria and things like that a better place to hide and makes it harder to sterilize.... best of luck on your grow!

[@rodsimonson9175]

Awesome video. I dont want to spend more money, but i know i gotta. 😂

[@thewell-roundednovice8852]

Check out the 'top-fed' coco-perlite videos.... in my playlists... its a great way to get into hydro really cheap and easy

[@Houseofmycology]

So are all the buckets connected together so it basically one big reservoir? How do the pipes under the gray buckets work?

[@thewell-roundednovice8852]

I did a video on how this system all works togather... yes it's RDWC... check my 'builds' playlist and you'll see how and why I did everything

[@mortisnoctu]

Excellent video. And killer rig. What dosage do you use of Hydroguard considering you don’t change the water every week and start fresh with beneficial bacteria?

[@thewell-roundednovice8852]

2ml/ gallon

[@ghostgrowz9750]

How many water changes during a run do you do? I understand more water volume gives great stability, my system runs 40 gallon but I find myself doing water changes at minimum bi-weekly

[@thewell-roundednovice8852]

I just top off.... new water when I transfer the plants in for the end of veg to the 21 day defoliation... then 1st water change around day 25 of flower to flower nutes.... thats about it until the flush

[@rottster1]

fking awesome bro !!!!!!!

[@JamesCarter-uk6uk]

Love your video's my friend... soooo, at what point do you put your plants in your system ?

[@thewell-roundednovice8852]

When I get the old ones out of the way...

[@larrymcgee2141]

Do you change your water when you flip to flower or do you just gradually change them when you adjust the water and nutrients

[@thewell-roundednovice8852]

I only do 2 changes.... around day 23 of Flower to change to flower nutrients and then at the end for the flush

[@AtomicHighJinx]

Great Video! 🤙🏻

[@aaronproctor4745]

I have a bubble snake for making compost teas. I wonder how that would work instead of air stones. I just ordered a set of buckets for my first hydro grow.

[@thewell-roundednovice8852]

I'm guessing stones are better since they make smaller bubbles which make the water higher in dissolved oxygen

[@aaronproctor4745]

@@thewell-roundednovice8852that’s what I was thinking. What had me thinking about the bubble snake is because it’s pvc, round and lasts forever. It’ll also put the bubbles out around the walls of the bucket, thought that may be a benefit due to the roots settling in the middle. But if if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Appreciate the content.

To get plants big enough to flower in those areas it takes around 2 months veg.... then however long flower takes... around 5 months total, or a little less

If I had what you had I would get the Bugatti of air dispersion, I can’t recall the name, but I would research that.

[@thewell-roundednovice8852]

Air dispersion?

[@wickedgummybear3104]

I hope you mean 68 fahrenheit? and not degrees? 68f is about 20degrees which would make sense... (at about 5:08) Otherwise, very educational video!

[@thewell-roundednovice8852]

Yep... 68° F.... the education system definitely let me down(I wish I operated in metric)

Nothing about this is novice, its like a guy in a Bugatti saying he is a novice car driver. Nice setup though, like you gotta say wow, not novice.
