The setup will consist of three separate 5 gal. buckets for a combination of bubbler / drip system. This is because we wanted the benefits of a bubbler system with its large root capacity and also drip system so that the roots are constantly getting supplied with nutrients. The bubbler feature ensures roots will always be able to intake oxygen rich nutrients throughout the crucial stages of later growth when the roots are developed enough to drop down into the bucket. Of utmost importance to us was being able to keep each individual system (and plant) separate so that the plants would not compete for nutrients or space (something indicative of ebb & flow). This will enable us to monitor each plant individually and make adjustments accordingly to pH, PPM, nutrients etc even space issues are resolved by having movable buckets. As the plants get bigger, move them further apart, its that simple.

How to build and maintain your own custom bubbler DWC grow INTRODUCTION Hi all, I've been a member of the forums for a while now and I'm ready to contribute something hopefully many new growers can benefit from. This is technically my 3rd grow. The first was soil and failed miserably and the next was an ebb and flow hydro system. After much research, myself and my grow partner have decided to abandon the ebb and flow and go for higher yields while staying with hydroponics. The ebb and flow managed to yield 6 oz from three plants (strain ICE 2000) Rating: 5
