Thanks Sack, but that little thing doesn't look that nice to me =P. We are looking for a new place that will have a better area for growing but we have to put that one hold for a while because I decided that I want to find another job first. Depending on how long it takes I might just be able to let the plants grow normally. I really didn't want to rush it but my girlfriend and I decided we would stop buying our stuff and start growing it seeing as we were getting to 100 a week on that stuff. Seeds still not in yet and I am about to go nuts. My grow cubes have been soaking in solution for a week now haha. This is retarded.

I can't wait to get started, I'll keep you guys posted.

Hey all,
Harry she is lookin good man i usually keep my cf at 14 in veg dependinng on the strain..im gonna do Sour Bubble next in mine i think...or maybe Skrum
Know-one ur set up is lookin good...dont worry about the big net pots it mmay work out better so see how they go..just keep the water level up around the pot to make sure she is gettin enough water to the roots.
Sack those temps are fine iv had great resullts with it going lower also..last run it was 62f...just dont llet it get any higher than 74f itl probly cause problems...ur water level sounds fine for noow keep it up around the net pot until u get some good long roots growing out.
Hey Buzz-boy any sound info is welcome here
Zhuge ur set-up is lookin ready to go man hope ur seeds arrive soon..and like Harry said the earlier u switch to 12/12 the more yield u will loose..
Harry Il have to stop by ur thread and see how she goes....peace

..I just wanted to drop a pic of the new clone in my bubbler A BMR and to show you the bitch on wheels now shes in my Aquafarm.....

BMR...shes been in 24 hours when i took this last night.....

theres the B . O . W 24 hours after transplanting to the Aquafarm......

and thats my nice new pump....4 outlets but its lenty powerful...on fukl blast I could split them all with a Tee each for 8 lines no problem its that strong! Glad I bought it, so much easier than having loadsa little ones....i will be using the origional pump though when i start timing the waterings an this will just be powering the airstone in the bottom 24/7..... right now its running the drip, the airstone, and the bubbler with the BMR in it....
Well there you go mate.....I wont post anymore pics of the aquafarm plant now here coz this is a DWc thread but ill keep up-dsating on the new clone which is going to be a mother for a big load of clones then grown out to flower..... so every1....even if you aint gonna flower in it, these bubblers are fabulous....no way would the clone have got this size this fast growing it from tiny in the Aquafarm....just goes to show what a bit of air can do.
Be lucky now Hydro-growers,
Harry

Where do you guys usually place the hole for the air tubing? I am going to pop a hole in my bucket top after dinner tonight and get my buckets wrapped in some gray bundling tape I got from Home Depot. It looks like duct tape but thicker. I got a message from my seed people that say if I don't get them tomorrow then they will look into it. It's been about 2 weeks and I think I am going crazy from waiting. Definitely going to have to let a male grow to get some seed action going so that I never have to do this again.

Dr. D · 10-17-2005, 12:36 PM

Harry man that pump looks killer i need a good quiet pump like that in the future...where did u get her from and how much was it???
Zhuge a hole at the top of the bucket for the air tubing is fine....

Harry Gypsna · 10-18-2005, 02:22 AM

hi mate, I got her at one of the local growshops.....Ponics sell the same make and model though...this one was 45 quid....it would be 38 at ponics plus delivery so it evens out....... Growell do similar Rena ones for 29;99 but the guy said them are really really noisy...., like a compressor. I think you mis-read though mine aint quiet at all...ohhh no, its a noisy ol bastid

but it does the trick......I aint gonna run a load of bubblers of it on full power until Ive built a soundbox for it...just a simple double skinned construction stuffed with rockwool...should do the trick. I dont, but if you use Ebay you should find some bargains....

hi Zhuge.... I put my airline hole in the top at the side right where the notch in the rim where the handle fitted into is....it makes a convenient spot and keeps it in position not trailing down the side.

you cant quite see here but you can see the lid notch on the opposite side(where the level indicator is) and so should get the idea of what i mean. Ignore the notch I cut in the rim above the airlinre...that was for the power cord on the waterpump when I had the drip running on it.
Catch you later evry1.........Keep on bubbling,
Be lucky now,
Harry

Dr. D this thread is awesome! You have inspired me to set up my own DWC system. I am still gathering everything but i am off to a great start thanks to you and everyone else with all of this great info. Here's a pic. I haven't got the air pumps or airstones yet and i plan to duct tape my buckets.

BenitoCereno · 10-26-2005, 09:58 AM

Hew yellowsnow nice job with those giant net pots! They fill up the whole bucket.

My bubblers are much more modest.

These are BMR younguns.

bolan · 10-26-2005, 03:00 PM
