depends on size of bucket ( normally change weekly , i tried a organic dwc , did my head in so give up lol , you want your ph between 5.4 and 6.2 , 5.8 being best ,

Mix your nutes once a week, ph 5.8 +/- .3, check water every day and top off with ph 5.8 +/- .3 water. Always use ro water. Start small, try one 5 gallon bucket with a water farm kit from general hydroponics. For you first time in dwc I would use botanicare or general hydroponics nutes. Run the base nutes, cal mag, a root enzyme like hydroguard, silica and a pk booster like hydroplex or Kool bloom. Run the nutes at 1/2 recomended strength and you should be fine. Top the plant 3 or 4 times, set up a scrog and you will be blown away with the results. Make sure you have a ph meter and a tds meter BEFORE you start. Alot of people neglect those 2 items, they are a must with hydro. PM me if you have questions.
