🌿 How does the DWC system work?
In the Deep Water Culture system, plant roots hang directly in a constantly aerated nutrient solution.
An air pump supplies oxygen to the air stone, which bubbles through the nutrient solution – thus continuously supplying the roots with oxygen and nutrients.
The result: faster growth and higher nutrient efficiency compared to classic substrate systems.
💧 Roots in nutrient solution: direct absorption of water & nutrients
💨 Air pump & air stone: constant oxygen supply
🌱 Light-proof bucket: prevents algae formation & keeps nutrients stable
