Add your growing medium (I use Hydroton - expanded clay pellets) on top of the wick, holding the end while you pour in the pellets or medium. Leave enough room a the top of the net pot to place your plant into the pot, on top of the wick, and then add the remaining Hydroton to stabilize and cover the plant's root cube or rockwool.

Place your net pot in the bubbler and repeat until you have added all of your plants that you want into the net pots and bubbler. If you choose to leave some of the net pots empty, I suggest filling them with hydroton or taping them up. You do not want any light entering the reservoir or you will end up with contaminants and algae growth in your nutrient solution. I actually like to leave one or two spots open so that the plants have room to grow, and more importantly, I can remove a net pot to check pH and PPM a couple of times a day.

Well my camera battery has died, so I will continue this in the next day or two when time allows. It's almost complete so this should be enough to get ya going. If you have questions post them to the thread and I'll do my best to answer them for you. It may take me a day or two but I will reply.

Happy Hydro!

When u get to the strips is itjust one cut layer say from the back of a shirt or is it 2 like sewed so it makes like a cloth tube.
DocKgreenThumb Reviewed by DocKgreenThumb on . Building a Rubbermaid Hydro Bubbler Unit - Cheap and Effective Okay gang, here is a quick instructional thread on how to build a home made bubbler. I have seen friends use store bought units that are similar (google for Emily??s Garden). If you wanna see the concept, check out Greg Green's book "The Cannabis Grow Bible" where this idea is discussed as well. Getting started - first the parts list: (1) 10-gallon Rubbermaid Roughneck storage bin (Lowes $5.50) (1) ½ inch I.D. clear vinyl flexible tubing, 12? length (Lowes $0.50) (1) ½ inch Rating: 5
