Hey there P&C ! Cool name.Hello bubbleheads,
I plan on starting a bubble grow in the near future and have many questions that I hope you all can help answer.
1. What needs to change compared to Roseman's DIY thread if I use a large storage bin for my system (30+ gallons)? It seems as everyone here is using about the same size (small) bin for their grows. I want the top of the bin to have a lot of surface area so the plants can spread out more. So would I have to get a larger pump (more than 165 gph) or more air stones?
2. I'm going to get some clones (3-4 nodes and <6") to start with. When should I start adding nutes, right away or...? I'm thinking let them get a few days with some ph balanced bubbly water and when they get used to it/start showing new growth add 1/4 nutes.
3. Can I do a 18/6 light schedg? Will they just grow a little slower compared to 24/7 or is it necessary for them to be on all day?
4. Has anyone ever done a SCRog with this type of system? I want to try it! Perhaps attach a pvc frame with a screen over the top to the lid of the bin.. Any reasons I should NOT try this?
1.) More airstones would be great ! Never too much air, but I think that water pump would work. Maybe a 185 GPH.
2.) I also grow from clone. I started with full strength nutes from the get go. No bad side effects, and plants sky rocketed in growth.
3.) I use an 18/6 schedule in summertime. Helps me control the heat better. My lights turn off 1 pm - 7 pm. Then back on. This makes it so the temps don't fluctuate much. Some will argue which method grows faster.
4.) No help here, I don't SOG or ScROG it. Sorry. Someone will chime in if they haven't already !
Good luck ! and happy growing.
