Diy bubbleponics

[LonghornFan]

Proudstoner...haha I no longer grow for "fun." I take it very serious now, I study and read about it constantly, almost obsessive. I used medicinally as well so I am all over this plant. Just love to read more about it and learn about it that its now a hobby!!

 

[proudstoner]

is just an amazing plant cant get enough

Thank god for this forum, and this thread in particular. I am preparing to build a stealth cabinet (instead of my closet, at the advice of my newbie thread) and really wanted to make my own bubble setup, but was way too intimidated by the info I could find online. Great thread, very detailed info and love the pics. My first grow will still be in soil as planned since I'm just beginning, but if all goes well I will upgrade for my 2nd batch. Thanks!

Growing in Hydro, using Feeder tubes to each root base, cuts the growing time in 1/3, compared to soil growing.

Ed Rosenthal has an article out, about doing comparison tests with CFLS, and he says many 42s, like 4 42s are better than 2 200 watt bulbs. He says comparing price per lumen, 42 watt CFLs are the best buy and the best way to grow.

Waiting on the second set of edged leaves, and working on my patience.....

Fungus Gnat larvae, and Root Aphids in hydroton
permalink
In a DWC grow using hydroton it is
inevitable to get one or both of these root crunchers. Your plant will get stressed, suffer, and may die. At the least you will get decreased yield. Realize that hydroton is a bug magnet, many places to lay eggs and the buggers like roaming around the top of the hydroton.

What do you folks use to alleviate an infestation and then keep them away.
Or, do you add something to the reservoir that will keep them away from day one and, what ever it is that is used, does not harm the plant?

note: Posting this here...if in wrong place let me know. Thx

Yep those dam nats killed one of my northern lights.....a couple weeks ago....thats the first time it has happened....there were tons of them everywhere, it was crazy....i had to get the vaccume cleaner and suckem up!!

so my plants r a week old (3 days in bubbleponics) think im doing pretty good so far
so i noticed one of the roots r a lil brown do i just cut it off
pic4 is my plant in my auto pot

 

[MostlyCrazy]

Don't cut the root. Too small and it's probably just a little stained from the hydrotron. Look at them when they get well into the res.

Nice little grow space. How much height do you have?

 

[proudstoner]

on the plant i have 3 inches and just in case you were asking bout my grow room about 10ft

 

[MostlyCrazy]

10' Ceilings? Just wouldn't worry about the root color just yet.

I started my new grow , or preparing for it, this past weekend!

so i gave my babies an air bath and clean res dont know if it was a good idea or bad but i when ahead and use nutes only a 1/4 of dosage right so im using fox farm 3-2-6 it saids 2 teaspoons per gallon so im using a 18 gallon rubbermaid but only using 12 gallons of water ok so a teaspoon=4.9ml so i used 2.5 ml per gallon did do it right or wrong oh and one of my babies looks a lil burned only on true leaves but only one plant all he rest look good will post up pic s soon as i get home

 

[proudstoner]

when i got home my air pump was not all the way on i gave my babies an air bath yesterday

 

[MostlyCrazy]

Ya done right PS. About 30ml for the tank is right. You are using twice as many nutes as I am. I use 6 gallons in an 8 gallon tub.
