Deep Water Culture (DWC) is a type of hydroponic growing system where plant roots are submerged in a nutrient-rich water solution. This method allows for efficient nutrient uptake and promotes rapid plant growth. Air stones or diffusers are often used to oxygenate the water, ensuring that the roots receive adequate oxygen for healthy development. In a DWC setup, plants are typically supported by net pots filled with a growing medium, such as hydroton or rock wool. The system is relatively simple to maintain and can be used for various crops, including lettuce, herbs, and tomatoes, making it popular among both hobbyists and commercial growers.
