There's an enormous peacefulness to the grow, MirMed, because you spend, - really man, nearly nothing, on any of the secondary stuff.
You don't get oxygenating pumps,
You don't get water exchanging pumps,
You don't get exotic cooling to reduce pythium,
so
you just have the buckets there and it's utterly, utterly, stealth.
Plus when you pick up a Hempy, if it's just watered ? 8, ten pounds.
Not ABSOLUTELY but - 8 - 10 pounds kinda typical.
For FIVE gallons,yeah, maybe it weighs 30 pounds after a drenching in rain etc.
When it's dry, or dryER,
it weighs what the perlite weighs and it really weighs like POPcorn.
So with your DWC you get some SUPER growth, but you're always feeding power into it.
You're always trying to figure out what your likely ratios are, as you do addbacks.
You're always popping pH up or down into it if you're like a lot of people,
and there's the constant hum of all that stuff working.
PLUS, there's the - not ZERO - HEAT being added in by DOING that pumping and aerating.
Then when you wanna move one it weighs 40, 50 pounds.
fittings cost money.
hose cost's money.
parts take up space.
You can STILL get pythium
You can have slime break out.
For a Hempy type or passive setup with that perlite though, and even with the doggone coco,
it's just a total breeze because there's literally, nearly NOTHING to do.
You MIX a TRUSTED MIX
and you pour and go. Bye by, you're OUTTA there.
And there's no raised power bill
to pay to run equipment
that reduces total grow floor area usually, some
and that has a sound signature to explain
that needs a bigger fan because of the heat.
Hempys will grow OUTSIDE in RAIN or SHINE
NO PROBLEM.
RAIN for a WEEK?
NO PROBLEM.
Drought? Well, you DO have to water, now.
So it's like one of pot growing's best kept secrets.
If you're teaching yourself all the various types of hydro grow mechanics and physics principles, well then - obviously, you know,
you're gonna mechanic on a system and really learn your applied chemistry, and botanical aeration and fertigation principles.
Sure.
But if for some reason you're past that - bad back, cant lift buckets of water,
Don't have a great plumbing setup,
Don't want really to filtrate water,
Don't need to learn more cause you've grown a buncha ways
If you - have a GREAT NEED for stealth it's UTTERLY SILENT: FOREVER
If you - have a GREAT NEED to start economically
If you - have a GREAT NEED to grow SIMPLY due to having family or others sorta be able to understand and learn/participate
If you - have a potential for needing to PACK THAT THING UP QUICK
If you - need a system, you can depend on like you can, gravity and time, themselves: ROCK SOLID - with, some room for you to slop a watering or something by missing a round
then there's just a lot of stuff, that passive growing,
can do, that there's simply no way, ANY powered system, can,
WHEN - you know, you're looking ESPECIALLY, for MULTIPLES
of these things to work for you
rather than YOU, work MORE and spend MORE and deploy MORE
when you really need the thing to just work for you,
and deliver up some high quality marijuana with - really - surprisingly little overhead, headACHE, or hassle.
