What are they for? You want to keep the water as cool as you can get it 68f is about as good as it gets for hydro growing that will hold a lot of oxygen. The warmer the water gets the less oxygen it can hold. FYIQuote:

SHOW ME MORE!
Those pots will not allow much mosture through you should get some net pots to do this right. They only cost about a buck and are easy to get.
yeah the net pots i need i have to go to the hydo store to get some solutions for the water and some other things im building another 2 buckets today hope to set up the growroom soon in about a week like next friday hope to have everything up and running (keeping my sticky fingaz crossed)
Can you show us the whole thing inside, the airstones, etc.. did you get these directions of the net.. Do you have the link?
Unbelievable... this is an incredible master plan if it goes down... keep us updated with pics! Very nice job!!!

ok here the splif
bought a couple of big 12 inch air stones at the fle market for 6 bucks and heres a couple of pics of the plants in my back yard they were givin to me late this year they werent takin care of till i got them so they r small so im leaving thm to the frist frost
ok guys with info on dwc set up nutes there experince what they would look out for need all input no matter how small lets fill this thread with lots of info
GUESS NO 1 KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT BUBBLERS
I got my grow on GH 3 part nutes this time and there is a chart in the faq's section. I got b-52 for b-1 vitamins, cal-mag plus. a little h2o2, bud blood, then big bud to finish. You will need some PH up and down. You might want way more air stones, you need enough bubbles so you can't see the bottom of the tub. You will also need some good water RO or distilled is best. 10, 1000hps lights that's a good electric bill. I would have gone with a drip system but that's just me, bubblers work too.
i use ionic ver/bloom ferts ...thats about it ..keep ph up and down handy
nothing fancy here
i also use two airstone per 5gal bucket
