First time BubblePonics, Advice appreciated

done a few dwcs and never used feeding line i agree with the other guy there a sales gimic there not needed buy a good air pump and the bursting bubbles will keep rockwool wet and i allways fill to about 1cm over the bottom of the net pot and theyve never dropped or shown signd of any probs ppl make things overly complicated and that means more can go wrong keep it simple and dont listen to alota the stuff ppl tell ya cause its crap underfeed and try to keep ur tank topped up and screw feeding lines there no use at all as far as im concerned its like ppl sayin use t??? watever lights when ya have hid lights sitting there its retarded, these are the ppl who give useless info to try and make it seem like they really no wat they takin about and no doubt the have something to say about my post so in advance go fuck urselves

lol ok..... well figured id just say that 3 of my babies are growing great, and the other 3 are showing signs of coming out of the shock, so figure they'll take off soon. ph is holding right around 6 and im at 1/4 nuets, probably go half nuets next res change. Also took a try at femming one of my babies, just to see how it works.Probably gonna do some lst too, so i can optimize all my space, Also Considering a scrog setup, but haven't decided which would be better?

But i Love my new tub, only thing is that the water seems to get warmer, think it was because the white lid the old one had, so ima put a reflector of some sort on my lid and see if that helps. But besides that its much better built than the last. Also rigged up a direct fill line, wasn't going to fill it 1 gallon at a time again (took forever first time i did it, but learned my lesson)

Will try and post more picks at next res change, which will be done weekly. But man im so glad i switched to this system, Im in love with the bubbles

This is correct. The feeder tubes don't make any difference at all. I bought the whole Bubbleponics setup and had the whole irrigation hub and feeder tubes hooked up. I didn't realize that the feeder tubes had to be turned on so I never did anything. I never had any water flow coming out my netpots, but was too stupid to realize that the feeder tubes needed to be turned on. In spite of my own noob stupidity, I had seeds that germinated in less than 36 hours and had all 4 plants with roots in the water in 4 days! This is without the tubes. Not only that, but the pump definitely created extra heat in my res, and when I took it out, the res was 2-3 degrees cooler. I would highly suggest extra air stones and a really good air pump. That will make a big difference in keeping the net pots and rockwool wet. That's all you need. The best things in life are most often the simplest. It is still true in this case. Peace.

well figured id give a mid week update, i lowered the water level a tad to see if i could't get roots to start to drop out the buckets, Also where would u suggest the water level to be in consideration of the bottom of the pot? but for 3 of them there blowing up, the one i attempted to fim, appers to be growing, assuming its now gonna have 4 tops, but hope the other 3 catch up soon so i can up the nuets, but guess its only been a week and a half, aready in love with the bubbles, dont think ill ever change but more pics to come this next res change friday

I'm pretty sure we answered this question already, but the water in the res should be about 2 inches below the bottom of the net pot.

well iv had the water level even the the botom of the pots for the first week or so and the really took offf i just last night dropped the water mabey and 1/8th below the pots and they all pretty much dropped roots over night, so guess ill just go ahead and lower them the 2" below. Yea guess it has also remeber i dont have the feeding tubes, if that maters. But ill lower it tonight as i must have mentally blocked that out

Well lowered the water level and deff noticed some good root growth, took a few pics last night during the res change, also picked up some new neuts today, humble grow,micro, and bloom. They also carry the bushmaster and gravity additives wich i think i may also buy. But ill be switching to those next res change wich may be done before the week is out

looks like your going to heavy on the nutes and why do you keep messing with the level of the water , just leave it in one place and watch them take off

well i havnt been changing water levels but twice, i wasnt quite sure where it should be till now, wich was the last time i dropped the water level, and as far as nuets, there a 1/4 strength and they all seem pretty good, but the 3 that still have never really taken off, still have signs of strees from way back when

well figured id post up some more pictures, as there all growing quite well, also seems that one is aready showing pre flowers, is this good or bad?
