How to build a miniature DIY deepwater culture system for plants. We started with two bins. Using a one-inch hole saw, we cut space out holes in the lid. These holes will later house our net cups and plants. Once the holes are cut, we clean up the edges with a deburring tool. Since we are creating two systems, we decided to tag team the project. We also drill a hole for the tubing in each lid. And we did sand our edges some too. Finally, we remove any debris and then give the bins a good wash. After cleaning, we place the bins on the grow rack in our grow tent and place a sheet of silicone down to reduce any air pump noise. We connect the tubing to the air pump. We're testing two different style air stones to see which we like more. Now we run the other end of the tubing through the hole in the lid. And we attach the air stone to the tubing connected to the air pump. This keeps the water aerated, promoting healthy root growth. Then we place the one inch net cups into the holes in the lid. Now we are ready for water. First, we mix up our plant fertilizer and bound to the pH. Then we add it to our mini systems. Each bin took about 4.4 gallons of water. The net cups should sit just above the water level and you'll see bubbles coming up. Now we can plant our plant starts. In one system, we are growing jalapeno peppers and carefully placed each rockwool cube into the holes in the lid. The net cups prevent the plants from falling into the reservoir. As the plants grow, the roots will extend into the water beneath. In the second system, we are growing Ford Hook Swiss Chard. Thanks to the fertilizer we added, this water provides them with everything they need for their development, along with the grow lights. Grow lights are also crucial to their growth and they're set on a timer. And that's it. This simple miniature DIY DWC system is a great way to grow plants indoors with minimal effort and space requirements. Since adding the plants on April 26, we've seen everything double in size every week and really haven't had to do much other than check the water level.
