Hi all ive constructed my first bubbler system and its also my first hydro i have a few quick questions and welcome any advice or thoughts on my bubbler. Ive converted a plastic toy box into a bubbler that will take three netpots. i calculated the volume at 103 litres but planned on rounding that down to 100 for easier calculations when feeding.I will be growing clones but do not no the strain as of yet but i suspect they will be a couple of weeks old when they arrive . Im using 2 12" toblerone airstones powered by 1 200lph aquarium pump. Im using clay pebbles as a medium in three 2 litre netpots . I plan to use phosporic acid and potassium hydroxide as ph up and down and ionic hydro grow , bloom and boost as my nutrients. They will be vegging under a 600wt sunmaster dual spectrum hps lamp and flowered under the same. My questions are - 1/ Do i need anything else for the res such as root stim or anything to help keep the res clean ? 2/ would it be better to use 2 aquarium pumps ? 3/ For a res that size how often would i add nutes ? 4/ When topping up can i use water direct from the tap ( EC 0.8 Ph 7.8 ) ? 5/ As i may have a hieght issue how soon can i top ?.
If anyone who reads this can see any potential issues with this set up or can offer any advice to improve it then i would greatly appreciate your input. As ive explained this is a first for me and i really want to give it my best shot ' ill try and post some pics at some point .
many thanks , peace out
