Product Details

The DWC Beginner Kit is an all-in-one solution for individuals interested in starting their hydroponic journey. It comes with a set of high-quality components and detailed instructions, making it ideal for beginners. 

 This DWC Beginner Kit includes a reservoir, mesh basket top, Clay pellets, air stone, air tubing, air pump and A/B Nutrient Packs. The 5-gallon reservoir provides ample space for plant roots to thrive, while the air pump and airstone ensure a constant supply of oxygen to the roots, promoting healthy growth. The 4 Ft. air tubing connects the air pump to the air stone in the reservoir. It delivers a constant supply of oxygen to the roots, ensuring they receive the necessary amount for optimal growth. 

 The 6” Mesh basket top is designed to hold the plants in place within the net pods. It provides stability and support, allowing the roots to reach into the nutrient-rich water below. The Clay pellets serve as a growing medium in the kit. They provide stability as well to the plants while retaining moisture, promoting healthy root growth and nutrient absorption. 

The 4 sets of A+B nutrient packs included in the kit are specifically formulated for hydroponic systems. They contain a balanced blend of essential nutrients required for plant growth. The A and B packs are used together to create a complete nutrient solution that provides all the necessary elements for healthy plant development, including macronutrients and micronutrients. These nutrient packs simplify the process of providing the right nutrients to your plants, promoting robust growth.  

With the DWC Beginner kit, you can enjoy the benefits of hydroponic gardening without the complexity. 

 Kit includes: 

  •     5 Gallon Bucket Reservoir —
  •     6’’ Mesh Basket Top
  •     Clay Pellets (2 Liters) 
  •     6” Air Stone —
  •     4 Ft. Air Tubing 
  •     Air pump–
  •     4 Sets of A+B Nutrient Packs 

 Assembly Instructions:

1.) Remove all contents of the bucket and rinse with water to remove any dust or debris.

2.) Insert air tubing through the pre-drilled hole on the side of the bucket reservoir, connecting to the airstone inside.

3.) Attach the other end of the air tubing to the air pump nipple outside of the bucket reservoir.

4.) Fill the bucket to the “Fill” line indicated inside the bucket with distilled, tap, or rainwater.

5.) Add 1 packet of “A” nutrient to the bucket, dissolving completely before adding “B” nutrient and dissolving completely.

6.) Plug in the air pump and confirm air stone is aerating water with sufficient bubbling shown at the water surface.

7.) Open bag of clay pellets and fill 6” basket to the rim, careful not to overfill.

8.) Insert mesh basket full of clay pellets into the bucket, and make sure water reaches the clay pellets.

9.) Plant seedlings into clay pellets, ensuring roots touch water at the base of the mesh basket.

 

Growing Instructions:

– Bucket water levels should be maintained at a level that the roots of plants are always in contact with water.

– Water should be completely changed, and new nutrients added every 2-4 weeks to ensure crop health and nutrient availability.

– pH is important to crop nutrient uptake and plant health, some tap water has a significantly high pH, so rainwater may offer a more appropriate pH level for healthy crop growth (5.8-6.4).

– Examine roots regularly to ensure white, healthy roots are growing. It’s recommended to condition the water with hydrogen peroxide to discourage disease and encourage healthy root growth. 40-50ml of 5% hydrogen peroxide can be added to the bucket once a week to help condition the water.
