I have a 1200w cob led and a 4x4x6.5 foot grow space with proper intake and ventilation.
My hydro setup will be as follows:
18 gal reservoir
Lid has one 5" net pot with gravel (I only want to start with one for now)
100w water heater (68F-70F)
Two 12" air stones
T-air fitting
40 gal air pump (doubled size of reservoir)
Air hose 1/4"
And that’s my bubbler setup, what do you all think?
Also adding a pump and a drip kit will be in the next phase too.
My nutrients will be GH flora 3-part, hydroguard, and calmag+, are there any other nutrients REQUIRED for hydro?
Also my reason for one plant in this system is because I have noticed a 5 gal DWC is almost too small for the root mass of a fully mature flowering plant. I want to document my progress from seed to harvest using just this bubbler with one plant. I’m curious
Well you have me very interested in what you’re trying to do… I can show you what I’m doing which is similar to what you’re doing… but then again it’s totally different I think… so post some pics of what you’re doing and I will post some pics of some stuff that I am doing and we will see if we can do something cool together …what do you say…
Looks good ! …& one plant sounds like a good start. You might want to reconsider the drip system, it may be okay for smaller plants but once the roots are established you won’t need it
Well from my part of town the mineral content is pretty high I’m sure iron is not scarce in my tap
@peachfuzz I’m not sort of set up just yet I’m still gathering all my materials, I will post when I am ready sir, I know it’s rude to not post but I’m working on it. I have so much planned
@Hammer great tip thanks man, no heater unless water temps below 60, what about a chiller, when is it needed?
@Paranorman yes a drip add on would be in the works, not sure if it is beneficial along with bubbleponics
Thanks for all the replies everyone, anyone else care to share some sort of experienced knowledge gained with bubble reservoirs?
