In a DWC setup, the plants are suspended in special pots or nets with their roots stretching down, immersed in a pool of aerated, nutrient-rich water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDWC hydroponic systems operate based on the idea that plant roots can grow while submerged in water, provided the water is extremely oxygenated. The amount of water that is needed in a DWC system will vary based on the size of the root system. When the plant is young and has a small root system, the water level should come up about 1″ from the bottom of the net pot(s). Once the roots begin to grow down into the oxygenated and fertilised water, the water level should be lowered about 1-2″ a week until the bucket or container is between half and two-thirds full. The water level should stay at half to two-thirds full for the remainder of the growing cycle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits of Deep Water Culture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimplest hydroponic system for beginners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow maintenance after setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast growing time compared to soil, Lettuce has been reported to harvest in 30 days, rather than a minimum of 60 in soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNegligible moving parts and assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKit contains\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x 20 Litre DWC main grow pot, measuring 280mm x 280mm x 390mm High \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Wick pot, 120mm Diameter x 120mm High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Air Pump 2.5w with 1.8 Litres per minute output, 1 Metre of silicon air hose and Round 60mm air stone, Check Valve for the air hose to stop water flowing back into the air pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x External water level sight components, when installed \u003cspan\u003eclearly indicates water level so you know when to refill you main reservoir pot\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Small bag of Clay balls to fill the top Wick Pot k\u003cspan\u003eeep the plants upper roots dry and provide a solid base of support\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to assemble w\u003cspan\u003eith the easy to use setup instructions, you can get growing fast and enjoy fast\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Growlush","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44224811565092,"sku":"DWC01","price":99.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1918\/8941\/files\/dwc-growlush.jpg?v=1780465383","url":"https:\/\/growshop.co.nz\/products\/deep-water-culture-single-pot-20-litre-dwc-hydroponic-system","provider":"growshop.co.nz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
