Zandor - Hydro grow setup :)

[Joel]

Hey latewood, brilliant idea.

So to make the bubbler, I would cut 2 holes in the lid of the 5gal bucket to fit the net pots and a bubbler inside ?

Latewood, if you have already posted this idea on the forums that I have not seen, would you please be kind enough to link me?

thanks.

Problem using 5 gallon buckets for cloners is you need to have a lot of water in the bucket and a lot of bubbles. Try a test run and see how high the bubble wet the area. Average bubbles only reach about 12" or so fyi. less then that and you don't get enough of them or you just don't place the air stones in the bottom. Something to think about anyway.

He put it up last night check it out. I can save you a few bucks just let me know if you want one or not.

Hey Zandor.

Thanks alot man, I will probably buy it come next paycheck because I broke my bong yesterday night and I am not too happy about that. Im going to be buying a new bong and a nice bag of weed to smoke my self silly and forget the wonderfull wonders of my old one.
For sure I will buy one, I love the style it looks like it would fit into my closet nicely, and if not I will just grow it in the corner of my room.
Does the res bucket come with or buy seperate?

For the 5 gal bucket bubbler, what should the water inside consist of to get strong root growth and very healthy plants.

As for CO2, that is still a possibility, but I would have to move my plants out of my room so I dont sufficate

Thanks zandor, looking forward to your next reply.

Bummer about your Bong dude, I broke my glass on galss too last month then I broke 2 of my other bowls. It's been a ruff time for the galss around here too for sure.

He sells everything you see there including the pump, res, & grow rocks too.

For my cloner I use GH 3 part formula 3.0 ml micro, Grow, Bloom per gallon of Ph adjusted RO water. Plus 5-ml of B1 but this time I adjust the Ph before I add the nutrients. Only because the nutrients are week and the buffers have a hard time adjusting Ph on their own.

You can also use Super Thrive Alive but I have better results with the GH formula

Yes seems I get too high with my bong that I can sometimes drop it, I have had the occasional time where it has taken a heafty hit and survived, it only broke into 2 clean pieces wich means it was probably weak around that bubble of the bong.

Anyways, do you have a good website that will sell the nutes you just previously explained to me? I can get about 500-600$ CDN to work with, more if absoloutley needed.

Well if you have General Hydroponics nutrients delievered you are paying to ship a lot of water too. Is there a local hydro store where you can walk into and buy them? If not then try eBay.

Hey zandor.

I was looking around downtown and in the phone book and dont seem to find a hydro store. I think I will go on ebay to purchase nutes, btw what kind of water are you talking about? As I could probably get that here instead of shipping it.

I got my new bong today and an oz Gotta love zongers.

[Zandor]

The water I am talking about is the liquid form of nutrients I use. I don't think GH makes their 3-part nutrient formula into powder form. So if you can't find it locale then you need to order it. I assume you have a good PH pen and TDS pen?

Try eBay there are a few of them that offer free shipping.

Zandor do you know of a way to make a bubbler for 2 mothers from seed in a 5gal?
