So after a shitload of shopping today, I have sucessfully created a bubbleponic DWC system with 4 plant sites. 6 gallon rubbermaid res., 4 netcups, hydroton, and 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" grodan rockwool cubes.

I transplanted my unknown strain bagseed into the bubbleponic system and also transplanted my fem Big Bud sprout into it...I'm germing 2 more Big Bud seeds right now...

I'm tired and my girls are sleeping, so I'll post pics tomorrow...

Hope all's well!

Making a long story short, I basically had to run all over my state yesterday finding all the tools and equipment necessary to build my bubbleponic system. I found a hydro store (1 hr drive) and bought:

1) Large bag Hydroton

2) 18 netcups 3"

3) 2 pckgs 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" growdan cubes

4) Hygrozyme liquid nutrient

5) Floralicious Plus formula

Then, I had to drive to the other side of my state to purchase:

1) two 2 head irrigation manifold

2) two 4 head irrigation manifold

Then to Lowes:

1) 6 gallon rubbermaid tote

2) 2' of 1/2" clear tubing

All the other things I already had from previous shopping lists including bubblestones, airpumps, tubing, etc,.

To set up my bubbleponic system, it only took me 45 mins! Very simple...plug & play

I will post pics today.
