DWC Questions

jayyayyay Registered on Jul-14-2007 More User Info Message #84353 posted by jayyayyay (Info) November 03, 2007 13:27:15 ET Hey guys. Got some mother plants doing well in DWC buckets. The only thing i hate about DWC is having to change 8 buckets weekly/bi weekly for nutrients. I was wondering, do I have to keep all of the roots submerged in water, or just the tips? Im trying to cut back on my fertilzer and water usage. The plants seem to be doing fine, but I dont want to cause any damage. Also, In my net pots, im using Hydro ton. Does the medium need to have moisture? Or will the lower roots provide enough water? Thanks guys.
