Setting up a DWC bucket, am I getting enough bubbles? Should I get a stronger pump?

I use bubbles...I would try a bigger pump.... mine boils a lot more than that....I use the 6" blue air stones some work good and some don't...I buy extra and check each one and I allways change some even when they are new....

some times the hose doesn't fit the barb on the air stone very tight...when they are manufactured the quaility isn't very good...that is my experience...

I run six buckets I use a #5 pump for air stones...and a #3 for drip rings here's pic of pumps...

So try a different stone make sure the hose goes on tight...see if there is a difference...

also the lid can and will crimp the air hose.

either drill a hole just below the lid,and run the line thru it..or run the line thru the net pot.

"personally" i run 2..6" stones in my 5 gal buckets..one thru a hole just under the lid,and one thru the net pot.

Hey guys,
Its a 10gal pump with one of the long 'tube' style airstones, in a 5gal bucket. Should i try a 20gal pump? I have a second pump/airstone but i found addi g that didnt create more splash just more of the tiny bubbles. Im gling to try growing bagseed in this to see how it comes out, then if it works ill plant my feminized seeds into the other bucket. And yup im planning on adding a nutrient feed hole as well as a hole for the tube.

Those are kinda weak my man, I mean it'll work no doubt for one plant but if you want optimal and faster growth get the water cool to mid 60ish and more bubbles.. MORE BUBBLESSS!!
