  1. how often should i change the water in a bubbler system ,,, i have one bucket with three gallons of water,bc grow,and a little mg ,,,,,this is my first hydro setup ,,home made looks good i was thinking once a week but how often do you guys do it??????????????????????
     
  2. It's what I do...once a week. I clean the bucket and new solution goes in. Do you have a PH pen. PH in BB's are so important, it's the first thing a Hydro user should have.
     
  3. no i have the one to use in soil but not for hydro setups would the water ph test strips work ,,, what do you use in the bucket ,,,,i got some bc grow
     
  4. YOu can change once every couple of weeks but I wouldn't go any longer than 15 days, especially during late veg and flowering. When the solution starts to get wacky and can't hold its pH steady overnight and the EC levels get real high.

    Here's a good source for pH meters
