Ok, so i'm new to hydro and was wondering if this setup will actually grow me some bud without breaking the bank. 30 gal. tub, eight 3in or 5in net pots cut into the lid, with 2 air stone strips under each row of four plants, using pea stone or gravel as my media (which is better?) Plus lights, air compressor, etc. Mainly i'd like to know if the air stones alone will supply sufficient oxygen to the fully submerged roots. Also, i'll be taking a visit to a hydroponics shop ; which nutrient solutions should i pick up for some cloned mids? thanks for any input GC, keep it real.
THAT IS THE QUESTION THAT GOT ME ON THIS DAMN SITE! LOL no one ever got back to me (i probably didnt explain it right) but I tried the exact same thing and my plants grew very tall but hardly any bud. I got a lot of hairy, light, fluffy buds, but it didnt have much THC, if any and smoked pretty bad. And thats why I switched to soil... HOWEVER I Think the problem actually is the roots not getting sufficent air, maybe if you manage to get lots of airflow through the water it will work better, but I just dropped that idea.
