This is my first attempt at DWC but have many years of experience growing in soil. My question is how many gallons of water do I need in a 5 gallon bucket with the snap basket with the clay pebbles in it. This plant has been sprouted since the beginning of February and does have roots to the bottom. I started this thing in a starter cube and I took a large empty folgers coffee container and cut a small 1 inch square hole in the lid and pushed the cube into it and then I used an extra aquarium air pump and a pencil sized air stone in it and started this thing. Once it sprouted and had exposed roots coming out the sides of the cube I transplanted into a solo cup with aquarium gravel and the cube. "The cup was pierced multiple times". I cut a hole in the original lid to except the solo cup and grew it until it had a significant amount of roots. I then got the correct lid and the correct nutrients, air pump, stone, and hydroguard for the brown roots that where starting to develop.
Do I really need to mix 3 gallons or can I get by with just mixing 2 since I do have a good root mass? P.s. the burnt leaves are from lifting it up and touching it to the light accidentally because of trying to video with only one hand.
