Best DWC System

As many growers know, a DWC System (or Deep Water Culture System as it is otherwise known) is a hydroponic system of plant production that relies on the suspension of plant roots in a solution of oxygenated, nutrient-rich water.

Depending on your budget, space, and individual requirements these systems can vary widely in size, intricacy, and effectiveness, and whilst many home growers who are growing for personal use will not require a massively complex system, for anyone looking to produce crops on a mass scale there are systems out there for you if you are willing to pay more,

DWC Systems will require access to a water source and multiple refillings as and when required and will also need to be situated within range of an electrical supply, so it is important to remember that the set up of such systems do require additional financial output in the short term with an increase in your utility bills,

However, if a DWC System is used correctly and efficiently then users will undoubtedly be able to see a significant increase in not just yield size but also the quality of the yield as well.

There are many different varieties of DWC Systems to choose from and they all suit different needs, whilst this variety means there will always be a system out there to suit you, it can make choosing your first DWC System intimidating.

That’s why we here at The Highest Crop have taken the liberty of putting this list together of the best DWC System on the market.

So let’s take a look at the top DWC Systems and see if we can’t help pick the best DWC System for you.

DWC System Buyers Guide

Now that we have gone over each of the products in our review in further detail, we need to ask ourselves some more general queries that will help us decide which product to award the title of best DWC system and more importantly help you decide which particular product best suits your needs.

Whilst these general concerns may at first glance appear to be trivial and considerations of little consequence actually by taking the time to consider such broad questions you may find this Buyers Guide gives you more clarity and allows you to make a better more complete decision.

DWC Bucket Quantity

The first thing we need to think about is how many buckets are in the DWC System that you are considering purchasing and more importantly still, how many do you actually need?

For growers who already have large, complicated setups and grow tents that take up a considerable amount of space, this may not seem particularly important.

However, if you are new to growing and limited on space and require a minimal but functional system to help you optimize crop yields then clearly a system with multiple buckets that requires significant storage and processing room will not be for you.

Size & Space for Your DWC System

Similarly some of the actual buckets in the individual DWC Systems we have covered come in different sizes and this should be something that you also consider.

Not only do you need to think about the space that the whole setup requires but you also need to think about the specific size of the buckets, how much water you will need to fill them, how often, and what effect this would potentially have on your yields.

Additionally, you will also need to consider just how much extra equipment you will need for any of these products as some DWC Systems have extensive accessories that need to be put together and utilized in the correct way for the product to work effectively and efficiently.

Complexity of DWC Systems

Whilst some of the DWC Systems we have reviewed are absolutely capable of being used by relatively inexperienced growers, there is no doubt that some of the products are quite complex and will require that a significant amount of time is set aside for both initial setup, testing and ongoing maintenance.

That being said if you have spent the time researching your DWC options then hopefully you are fully aware of the necessary time you will need to dedicate to initially setting up the product to ensure that it works properly and continues to do so for an extended period of time.

Personal Experience Level Growing in a DWC System

Again while your own personal experience level is by no means a disqualifying factor of your purchasing any particular DWC System, some of the more complex, intricate, and difficult to build may be more appropriate for experienced growers.

Of course, all growers should always be pushing themselves, their abilities, and their growing techniques to ensure they stay up to date with the latest growing philosophies and technologies, this means that even if you want to purchase a DWC System that is currently beyond your experience level, there is no reason why with additional research and learning you can’t quickly get yourself up to speed with the product.

Accessories & Help

Carrying on from the discussion about product complexity, it must also be said that some of the DWC Systems we have reviewed come with an extensive array of materials and accessories.

None of these accessories are superfluous and as such even if you don’t immediately need them you more than likely will in the very near future, so this comes with additional storage concerns that it’s important to recognize early so that you are not overwhelmed upon opening your DWC System for the first time.

Additionally some of the DWC Systems we have covered come with helpful reading literature that will come in extremely handy for fewer experimenters and may even provide some excellent hints and tips to the more experienced and knowledgeable growers.

Price & Budget of Your DWC System

The most important of all the considerations though is the one of budget, price, and correspondingly the value for money of the DWC System in question.

We here at The Highest Crop always recommend that prior to starting your product search you have a budget in mind and we advise even more strongly that you should make every effort to stick to it.

Of course, only you can know your specific budget and how affordable each product is to you but like with most products a standard rule of thumb is that the more you pay for a product the better and higher quality that product will be.

Now whilst of course there are exceptions to this rule, (occasionally you will find a high-quality product that comes with a phenomenally low price tag or a very basic product with what seems an excessive price), it is undoubtedly true that usually the more you pay the more you get.

That being the case, when considering your budget is, therefore, appropriate to temper your product expectations to equal the amount that you can realistically afford.

Of course, if you are one of the lucky few where budget is of no concern then it is still an intelligent idea to look for bargains and the product that offers you the best value for money, and hopefully, this review and corresponding Buyers Guide will help clarify if any of the DWC Systems do just that.
