BEFORE YOU READ:
I am a medical patient growing for my own personal use. I never grow more than 6 plants, and I always follow code when it comes to the legality of cultivation.


Hey, so this is my first time doing bubbleponics (or any hydro for that matter). I'm the kind of guy that likes to build things, and this looked interesting, so i chose to go with it.
My box will be 63"h 36"w 24"d
I'll have an inline fan on top blowing out of the box, and into a DIY Carbon Scrubber.
The vents (taking air into the box) will be at the bottom and aimed toward my bucket(s) to keep water temps down.
The walls of the box will be covered in Mylar.
I'll mount my powerstrip up high inside the box to stay away from moisture.
For veg, I'll be using 2x High Output T5's (6500k), 2x 42w CFLs (6500k), and 2x 42w CFLs (2700k).
For flowering, I'll be using 2x High Output T5's (2700k), 2x 42w CFLs (2700k) and 2x 42w CFLs (6500k).
As of right now- I'm planning on putting the CFLs in some clamp reflectors and installing some extra 2x2's to my box to clamp them on, BUT I'm open to suggestion.

Before I forget, I have a friend who swears by these and i wanted to know RIU's opinion. They look great for the price, especially considering it uses a probe (great for self contained buckets I'd assume)

Here are some pics of what I've got right now.. accidentally picked up the wrong Grow Big (be sure to ask for the hydroponic version, don't make the same mistake I did!)

I'll get working on the box either tonight or tomorrow. depends on when I have the free time!

ALSO, any recommendations on reliable PH meters? original dirtbag here, i learned how to grow on a testing kit


EDIT: gotta get to work, will post pics after knowing it's safe to post pics online, and when I'm off work. Sorry about that guys!

keep us posted bro
