New to hydroponic growing

yeah man, dwc is nice, you get huge yields, the plants grow really fast and big if you want, big this is always check your ph like every other day, that wat ph changes real fast, also make sure you have another air pump just in case, if your air pump goes out during your grow you will lose your plant, those roots need that air, have another emtpy bucket on hand and fill it and let it sit over night, when you get ready to change buckets, just put your roots and stuff right in to the bucket/spare, dump your old and put your air stone in the new one where your plant is, re connect your air pump, last keep the bucket covered around the bucket on the outside to keep the water cooler inside the bucket as well as it will help keep those roots in the dark, but by covering the outside of the bucket you will be able to keep temps down in the water, ph between 5.6-6.2 and try for 6, and your plant will reward you with some of the biggest buds you ever grew. i enjoy dwc but some times i do not have room. real easy to do and i cant say enough good stuff, big thing is keep an eye on that ph though.
