Has anyone used the wick system?

[hashhound]

I have a very limited amount of space and very limited funds and am thinking of doing acouple of plants using the wick way of growing. I have never grown before and this looks to be about as simple as it gets. Any suggestions?

whats up murph. if you're still active on here and want to know about wicks I'll tell you how I've been using them.

It's basically conecting a reservoir to a pot using ropes so it wicks water ase the plant needs it

I've heard of folks sticking the smart pots-fabric pots in 5gallon buckets before, but that probably ain't what dudes talking about.

There are some fancy ones where you put the reservoir above the level of the plants and Gravity does it's thing, i think theyre for soil using only water, regular wick with the water below the pots wont work

DWC? Allowing roots to wick up the water?
