We have gotten to the point where you can essentially build an entire fully functional DWC grow sourced entirely on Amazon. What a time to be alive. There are some things that may be a bit cheaper at your local hardware store (e.g. heavy duty storage totes). But for pretty much everything else it’s tough to beat Bezos on price and convenience.
Overview
pH Meter & pH up/down

pH meter is an aboslute must for DWC growing. I recommend it for soil growers as well. Always keep the electrode on your pH meter moist by keeping the cap on. Letting it dry out will damage the pH meter (ask me how I know).

Don’t forget to get pH up/down!
