HELP! I saw this YouTube video and this man has a DWC hydroponic system that I’m trying to follow. But he takes the plants out to feed them nutrients. Is there a simpler way to do this? Actual video: https://youtu.be/GJY1eaqy5b4 (starting at 3:19) HELP PLEASEEEE! Thank you !!!
Wtf…is that guy mixing all of his nutes straight and then adding his buggered concoction to water? If so, don’t do that and you’ll be fine.

Lmao idk. So how do I add nutrients ?
This.
Also an easier method you can use to feed and monitor water level is to build a simple water level indicator like this…
Then have a spare bucket and mix your nutrients in that (if youre using 5 gal buckets, have a spare as a mixing bucket). Once all of your nutes are mixed, just top feed initially though the net pot and ensure your water level with the indicator. Thats it. When the plant drinks water and you need to back add, you can watch the water level go down.

Use a childs medication syringe . Cvs , rite aid wamart pharmacy give these out free. They have graduated precise measurements. Add one nutrient at a time . Draw water into the syringe , this cleans it . Empty the water back into the nutrient tank and add your next bottle . Keep doing this add , clean rise repeat till your done.
Dont buy this this is to give you a visual what to look for.

From start to finish, my DWC setup.
5 gallon bucket
3-5 foot air line
Air pump
Air Stone (preferably the large cylinder or flat disc without the suction cups)
Emerald Harvest 3 part nutrients (Micro, Grow, Bloom)
Set my bucket up with a hole just big enuff to fit airline thru, run line thru, connect to air stone, fill 5 gallon bucket up with 3.75 Gallon of water. Follow suggested feeding schedule on back of gallon jugs of nutes using a medicine dropper to properly measure out each ml per gallon feeding needed per nute.
Plug in airline to air pump, let nutes mix up for a while, toss the dope in an 6-10 inch net pot/bucket lid with plenty of hydroton.
Watch it grow.
Anyone making it more complex than that is leading you astray friend.

I had two equal buckets, prepared water and feed in the one without lid and then change the lid with the plant from one to another …
