Deep Water Culture (DWC)

Deep Water Culture (DWC) is a hydroponic method of growing plants where roots are suspended in a nutrient-rich, oxygenated water solution. This approach allows plants to access essential nutrients directly from the water, promoting rapid growth. An air pump supplies oxygen to prevent roots from suffocating, while a floating platform or supportive structure holds the plants in place. DWC provides consistent nutrient delivery and efficient oxygenation, making it popular for both beginners and experienced growers seeking high yields and healthy plant development.
