looking for bubble bucket grow guide

[Horsemanrocks]

or do i keep it just to the bottom of the the netpot the whole grow?

The initial height could even be a little variable based on how active the bubbler/s are. If you used multiple stones and a good strong air pump the sparkle from the bubbles popping on the surface might even start you a little below the bottom of the netpot. After you decide on which equipment you wantâ?¦..do a dry run (no plant) and see how moist the medium stays. That will influence your starting height.

same through out the whole grow.

My opinion varies from cigarettes a little. As the roots begin to become established in the nutrient solution�.allowing the level to fall some could be beneficial as keeping the root cube too moist could eventually cause problems. Lots of replies offers lots of methods��all have merit.

ah thank you very much. sorry a couple more questions, in a 5 gallon bucket, where is the 5 gallon mark? is it at the rim of the bucket? I want to know so I kind of know how many gallons I actually have in the bucket so I know much nutes to give them.

Place the netpot into the bucket and fill to your desired working level�..then measure how much water you used. (gonna be in the neighborhood of 3 ½ gallons with a 6� netpot)

and how much does the pH fluctuate day to day using only general hydroponics flora micro,gro,and bloom?

Only experience will tell

what do you guys do with the plant when you need to change the water?

Prepare a second bucket and simply move to the other bucket. (Be sure that the temperature of the solution is the same)

Good luck,
HMR

thank you. questions are done for now, im sure I will have more when i start buying the supplies.

when you guys put your nutes in your res do you go by what the bottle says or do you keep adding nutes to the water until you reach the right ppm in the res?

man this site is starting to stink (and not in a good way), its getting a little too dead for me. Any person who has grown hydro should know this question.

[michaelpeg]

keep adding nutes to the water until you reach the right ppm. first add your calmag and any other kind of products or powders in first unless given an order from the manufacture. also remember if you add powders you should let you tank stir abit before adding your next nutrient cause they dont disolve quickly and can spike your ppm after adding the rest. also you must keep ratio of nutes correct if you are using a multipart nute system like "sensi bloom or grow". also i dont suggest foxfarm in hydro setup with pumps or hoses cause they tend to get lots of sedement from the wormcastings. ff is great in soil tho!! do what the bottle says on ratio mixtures but add nutes accordingly to your ppm monitor. if i missed something chime in

also you have to give us atleast 1 pic update! its the law. haha i keed and oh this site responds slowly cause most of us are working then smoking way to much to type!! haah

thanks, i would post a pic but there is nothing to take a pic of lol. I haven't bought the supplies yet. Does everyone agree with the ppms listed on this schedule http://www.genhydro.com/genhydro_US/GH_Feed-Chart.pdf if you use general hydroponics flora series? are any of the ppms listed too high for certain stages?
