Deep Water Culture Hydroponics

Deep water culture hydroponics, commonly referred to as DWC, is a very popular method of cultivation. This type of system is relatively easy to use and is very low maintenance making it a great system for both the seasoned gardener as well as people new to indoor growing. This system can be used for cloning, mother plants, vegetative stages, and flowering stages of plant growth. The most popular ways to use deep water culture hydro is for both the cloning stages as well as for mother plants.

DWC hydroponics works by hanging your root system or clipping directly into an oxygen rich nutrient solution. The oxygen is provided through air stones that sit at the bottom of the reservoir. If you were to put your plant roots into stagnate nutrient solution, the plant would soon develop root rot and die. Oxygen is very important to the development and growth of your plant so a lack of oxygen will cause serious issues. If you need to, add an extra air stone or two to the bottom of your nutrient container in order to ensure proper oxygen content in the water.

As mentioned earlier, deep water culture is very popular for mother plants. This system is perfect for this situation because the plant is supplied with plenty of nutrient solution with very low maintenance. Because it is a mother plant, you don't have to worry about it getting optimal nutrients and oxygen because all you need are the fresh clippings. Because the deep water culture bucket system is so low maintenance, it is the favorite for many growers around the world.

One popular system is the homemade DWC bucket system. This system is built using a 2-5 gallon paint bucket, a mesh net pot, an air stone, and an air pump. It is so simple that it can be built in less than an hour. You simply have to cut a hole out of the paint bucket lid to put your mesh net pot, drill a hole for the air tube and run your air stone to the bottom of the bucket. Then plug in your air pump, put your plant or clipping into the net mesh bucket using either hydroton or foam inserts and you are set. It is that simple!

With material costs so low and the time needed to build such a system, it only makes sense to have your mother plants in a deep water culture bucket system.
