Abbreviation for Recirculating Deep Water Culture. An advanced hydroponic system where multiple plants grow with their roots submerged in oxygenated, nutrient-rich water that continuously circulates through a network of interconnected reservoirs. Unlike standard Deep Water Culture (DWC), which has individual containers, RDWC connects these containers to a central reservoir that distributes nutrients and oxygen to all plants. This constant recirculation maintains a stable pH, temperature, and nutrient concentration throughout the system, promoting uniform growth.
