Make your own DWC Hydro Setup

Thing needed:

10 gallon storage tote

scissers and exacto knife

Aquarium air tubing

Double ported aquarium air pump

2, 6" Aquarium air stones

Net pots from local hydro shop

Hydroton/ hyrdo clay balls/ grow stones

Cut holes in the lid of your tote for net pots. (Two or three). Insert net pots to make sure they fit. Better to cut the holes too small then too big. Next put a small hole in the side of your tote just big enough for your air tubing to fit through. (Make sure the hole is above the water line or is sealed of properly). Attach your air tubing to the two air stones on the inside of your tote. Attach the other ends to the 2 ported air pump. The last step is to fill your netpots up with about a 1/4 inch clay balls or grow stones then instert your 4" rockwool clone or seedling then fill around rockwoool with clay balls or grow stones.

Note:
  • Storage tote should be opaque in color or painted as such as to not let light into roots.
  • If all net pots are not being used fill all the way with clayballs or seal off from light somehow.
