Cheap DWC Build (1Plant)

SHAMAN

In this thread we will be building a cheap one plant DWC system.
To start we need a Cat litter pail or any other pail with lid will do. I like square pots/pails to maximize my space.

Then you will need a mess pot, If you can't get one you can make a pot out of a plastic beer cup and a sharp knife.
Place the pot were you want it and trace around it with a marker.

Next you will want to draw a inner circle making sure the lip of the net pot has something to rest on once the inner circle is cut out..
Also just above the pot hole there is a black dot, That will be the hole for the air line..

I will be using a mastercraft rotary tool to cut the holes, A hole saw will work much easier.
Aways Wear SafteyGlasses!!

Cutting the inner circle. And cut the little hole for the air line.

Try to make the pot fit as snugg as possible to keep the plant from falling over.
You can see the air line hole to the right of the pot.

The main pieces The Air pump and an Air stone. you will also need air line/tube.

Drop the stone to the bottom of the pail, And fish the airline/tube threw the little hole.

Plug the airline/tube in to the pump.

Plug in the pump and you have bubble's!!

I use Fish/SeaWeed Emulsion's for my fert's but feel free to use anything you like. Read the instructions before you use any ferts. you don't want to burn you baby's.
Keep the pot just under the water level till root's show then you can be more free with the water level, but always keep roots submerged/in water, But try to keep it topped up less stress for the roots.
**PH should be between 5.5 to 6.1 for best results between 5.7 and 5.9 is your target**
This system cost me about $20 and I got $10 worth of free cat litter with it..

Pretty cool, Shaman. I'm almost tempted to build one and try a hydro grow myself.
