VIVOSUN DWC Hydroponics Grow System with Top Drip Kit, 5-Gallon Deep Water Culture, Recirculating Drip Garden System with Multi-Purpose Air Hose, Air Pump, and Air Stone (4 Buckets + Top Drip Kit)

Forget raising your suspiciously-fast-growing plant in soil or coco. It craves a constant stream of water, nutrients, and oxygen. A DWC system is exactly what your plant wants, and you'll find yourself growing a jungle if you let it get it out of hand. The engineering is well thought and simple: the air pump pushes air into the tubes, which in turn moves the water up and oxygenates it. The assembly was not hard, but took a few minutes of focus and precision to get the tubes hooked up right. Put this bucket system in a Vivosun grow tent, with a big grow light and some good genetics, and you'll be growing the most potent medicine in the neighborhood.

Take your time put everything together slowly. Works great, zero leaks, 2 months usage so far. Roots look great, top drip beats dwc without it.

The product is of decent construction, however I have a few gripes. One of biggest gripes with it are the high level of noise coming from the top drip constantly making gargling sounds which I can hear throughout my house. The air stones are not the best, one of mine didn’t work at all. I confirmed air was coming through the hose and replaced it with one of vivosun’s stones that I bought separately and found that air still isn’t coming through. It seems the pump simply isn’t putting out enough pressure to push air through the air stones since the same pump is pushing air through the top water drips which is a path of least resistance for all of the air. They should have designed the pump to separate the air for the top drips and the air stones Lastly the clay stones that come with it make a ton of dust/mud when wet. Even after rinsing them all off out of the bags they came in, they break each other down too easily IMO. I get that they should be semi porous to hold water, but still. Edit after using for a few months: One flaw of using this air powered siphoning system for recirculation is that the water will spray against plant stems which I’ve found to cause rot and damage due to the liquid plant foods present in the water. I would rebuild this system to use a water pump instead that circulates water in a steady stream rather than using air siphoning causing the water to spurt out to avoid this. Another edit: I’ve been using these now for over a year and I’ve been able to make them work better. One tip would be to bury the rings in the stones. This not only protects the stems of the plants from being damaged by being sprayed with the liquid fertilizers, but also prevents algae and reduced the noise of the system. Since doing this my plants are much happier and thriving.

Kept reading reviews of people saying the air pump was gonna be super loud and will need to be replaced. When I plugged it in without anything else connected, it was super loud. However, once all the tubing and connections were made, it's actually as silent as all my other aquarium air pumps. So instead of having to replace the air pump, it's sitting happily in my tent pumping doing its job. I did not like that some of the holes for tubing were on the bucket instead of the lid, so i simply drilled 2 holes on the lid for the air pump and water recycle tubes. I then used regular tubing to fill the two unused holes on the bucket so that there wouldnt be any leaks. Very happy with this system. Have everything I need. I did order some extra buckets to help with water changes every so often, as the lids work on any 5 gallon bucket.

I had a lot of fun with this kit it definithas everything to get started let’s go! extremely easy to use set up. Everything fit perfectly worked beautiful great quality definitely the value for the money definitely worth it had a lot of fun. Great DWC set up.

Nice setup, and very easy to use. Grew nice tomatoes and bell peppers over the winter. P.S. just a side note. When dumping out the water cover the sight tube opening so you don't lose the ball float . I pushed a needle through the top of the tube so I didn't lose the other. The ball is really not needed just makes it a little easier to see water level. Anyways , For beginners wanting to try dwc this is a great starter . Just make sure to read up on ph , feeding ect with hydro before trying its a lot different than soil.

I'll note the title first. I setup the airpump outside my grow tent on a shelf. It's an incredibly large tent so the Included amount of airline was not enough for what I wanted to accomplish, no fault of the kit. Everything is included for success minus nutrients. Absolutely nothing bad to say about the kit. It would have cost me more to purchase everything individually and make it just as nice including the drip ring. Yes the air pump is more then enough to oxygenate the water plus run the included drip ring. I found I needed to turn the flow to the drip ring down that's running the largest 8 bucket kit and included pump. Proof is in the pictures it works for picky vegetables so I can only imagine it will be perfect for cannabis if legal in your country for personal use/growth. I'm going to actually try and grow some genuine wasabi in these kits as the drip ring puts out enough water to mimic a running brook. 5/5 stars it's "expensive" but you get everything you need and it just works. Thank you! 👍

Nicht falsch verstehen der Topf ist in Ordnung, aber bei einem 3-stelligen Preis hätte zwingen auch ein paar Hydroanzuchttöpfe mit Inhalt dazu gehört. So ist es ein teures NICHT direkt nutzbares Set. Meins geht definitiv wieder zurück, für so eine Mogelpackung schmeiß ich kein Geld aus dem Fenster.

Easy to set up and maintain. Everything you need

Took 10-15 mins to set up, with just a pair of scissors as the only tool. Instructions were easy to follow and results are great so far! One cherry tomato and one Fresno chili plant.

Do what is suppose to do.
