    Default Does DWC require larger amount of ferts or am I wrong?

    Hey guys, hope you're healthy and well. I really want to start growing in DWC because I'm amazed by most of the results online. In soil, I'm used to growing in 15-19Lt. pots and I water 1.5Ltr water with nutes every 2 days. So that would be 4.5Ltr water with nutes per week. If I start using DWC, if the bucket is 19ltr that requires water change once a week(some say once every two weeks), then I would spend 19ltrs of water WITH NUTES per week instead of 4.5ltrs like in soil. Are my calculations correct or no? Thank you and God Bless.

    I'd be surprised if you use more than 3ml of nutes per litre of water
    In dwc less is normally more because the nutes are so readily available for the plants

    It takes less than coco drain to waste anyway. I feed a little stronger and more frequently in coco than I ever did in deep water culture, same exact general hydroponic nutes in Coco Hydro or soil.
