FAQ

Is this a very complex system to run?
This is one of the simplest types of hydroponics systems to use. Deep Water Culture was the first ever hydroponics method used, and continues to be a popular choice. Full instruction are supplied on how to set up and run

What light should I use?
You can use a 250 watt or 400 watt HPS light when running a single DWC unit, or, use a 400 HPS watt and run two DWC systems side by side. The 400 watt light will produce better results as the higher lumen output will encourage faster growth and heavier yields. A 400 watt HPS is ideal to run inside the medium sized cabinet with the DWC system(s) that's featured on the pictures page.

How do you fill it?
When you first set it up, it is filled with 35 litres of water. As the plant grows and consumes the nutrient and water, you simply pour the water into the filling hole. It is advised to empty the tank and fill it up with a fresh batch every two to three weeks

Does this perform as well as other hydro systems?
Yes. Most hydroponics systems operate at around the same level and this system is no different. It is one of the most cost effective systems available to produce high yields
