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.
