Recirculating Deep Water Culture (RDWC) is an advanced version of Deep Water Culture hydroponics, designed for larger or commercial-scale grows. It involves multiple plant sites connected to a central reservoir, with water constantly circulating between them to maintain uniform nutrient levels and oxygenation.
đź’§ How RDWC Works:
- Each plant is grown in its own bucket or module, where the roots hang into a nutrient-rich water solution.
- All buckets are connected by piping to a central control reservoir.
- A water pump continuously circulates the solution between the reservoir and the plant modules.
- Air stones in each module provide oxygen to the roots.
- The result is a stable, highly oxygenated, and evenly distributed growing environment.
