Deepwater culture is a type of hydroponic system that ensures your plants have constant access to water, nutrient solution, and oxygen all at once. There are also measures put in place for adequate aeration for optimal plant growth. Setting up your recirculating deep water culture system is pretty easy when you have the right knowledge.
Recirculating DWC system works just like deep water culture, however, there are a couple of things that will be redesigned. Both RDWC and DWC have their plant roots immersed in nutrient solution and oxygen-filled solution.
· 5-gallon dark-colored buckets with lids · Net cups of size 3 inches as the drilled hole· Grow medium · Tubing (PVC) forconnecting each bucket· Central reservoir (40 to 55 gallons)
So, in the recirculating deep water culture system, the nutrient-filled water is reused and is not drained. However, the traditional deep water culture nutrient solution always remains in the container.
