dont understand. is the plant fed with a drip from the top? or are the roots just dangling into the water and the pump is just for circulation?
the pump is for aeration of the H2O so your roots have oxygen to grow. The roots are just dangling in the water, when they grow bigger there will be some roots above water and some below (soaking) in the DWC.
It is really easy and simple, cheap and I have found it easier then soil and way way more effective. (so much more crystal production)

Also, what do you think is the best way to keep the temperature right?

Handy thread
I've been thinking about setting up a personal grow for a while now,
and being my first time I've been debating whether to use soil or go hydro,
but after reading this thread and seeing some of the pictures,
I am definitely going hydro.
I'm not sure how it works elsewhere but here in Ontario anything over three plants and the government can take your house. Definitely safer to have fewer plants with better production, and who can argue with 90g from one plant?

Won't the temp of the nutes go really high with the lights on and all in that small of a rez. I have had problems with temps in much larger rez than that

Hydromaniac if your growroom is built well enough then temps wont get higher than what ever you want, lights on or off, I keep it at 24c in the plant tops and down on the floor its usually 3-4c lower because thats where the fresh air comes, peace...
This be a old pair of pics, Chronic in a small bucket (12L bucket 6L nutes 1 big airstone)
DWC rocks!

RK- Wal-Mart...$10. Sporting goods/boat accessories isle. It's hella quiet, the motor is double walled, and does not have any effect on the temp of the solution. Easy maintenance too should things get gunky during trials.
It will though need a AC/DC converter. Which, if you've any extra cords that charge rechargeables...ie, cell phone, electric razor...snip and splice and you're all set. (having that handy at home keeps costs down!)
