Bubbler Help
Its going to be my first grow. I am using a 30 gallon DWC setup. I will list all of my plans and maybe everyone can make sure I will be ok with my grow.
Stealth Closet Dimensions: Height: 56'' x Width 40'' x Depth 28''(Planning on wrapping aluminum foil or mylar) DWC Dimensions: Height: 17'' x Width: 32'' x Depth: 20'' (Planning on wrapping aluminum foil or mylar) 6 - 5'' Net Pots w/ rockwool sunk into top of course 2 - 20-60 Gallon Aquarium Pumps w/ dual outputs 4 - 14'' Airstones (makes tons of tiny bubbles no big bubbles, is this a problem?) Light: 400w Metal Halide (During veg. state 24hrs/day) 400w HPS (During flowering 12/12) Timer for lights I am going to buy ph up and down and hydroponic nutrients I also plan on getting a digital ph reader and nutrient reader I plan on installing input and exhaust fans I will have to mess with it when it is set up to get temp/humidity correct. If I need to make more space for upward growth I can modify ceiling/shelf to accomodate Thanks in advance for your input!! |

Don't use aluminum foil. If you can't use mylar then just go with flat white paint.

tolhas I think he is talking about the Waterfarm made by Hydrofarm. It comes with an air pump and everything you need to get started. I started hydro with this system. After my first grow with the Waterfarm, I wanted to make some changes to the unit. I wanted a drain valve to make changing nutrients simple. You can use the sight indicator to drain the tank but it was a pain in my grow to do. Then I noticed the air pump it came with made very little pressure and the bubbles all came up in one spot.
![]() I did not want to ruin my store bought unit, so I made my own with the gear that suited my grow and grow style. I ripped-off the sight indicator idea from the waterfarm. I felt more bubbles would be better so I got a good pump that could run 2 stones. After it was said and done, I spent more money making my own unit (like mrtwomuchskill stated above). The pump was 75% of the whole cost. ![]() I grew another cycle with my home made job and the waterfarm. I got alot more growth from the 5 gallon bucket then from my waterfarm. I posted the question on Overgrow.com, "why do I get a faster growth rate from the 5-gallon bucket then from the Waterfarm?". Most everybody had the same answer, root space. I felt it had to do with air bubbles but no one agreed with me. The waterfarm has 2.5 gallons of root space and the 5-gallon bucket had almost 5-gallons of space for roots to grow. I tried the waterfarm a few more times before I gave it away. Quote:

Thanks Apache, but I think some folks here have an issue with the clear sight tube. Many believe it will cause pond-scum to grow. I have had great luck with it. Not a bit of scum. But..... I change my nutrients every ten days. I have not tested it with any other nutrients or watering methods.
Thanks, R Thanksgiving Day harvest: ![]() |

I don't mind all the private messages I get from this thread. But... If you want the best answers to your questions, posting it here for all to see will give you multiple prespectives and better answers then I can give alone.
