i wat at rite aid the other day and i saw 10 dollar water fountains. ive seen inside them before and they have a minature water pump that u can easily modify to pump all the water out of yur bubbler without having to pick up the whole damn thing and then just pore yur fresh water back in. getting 2 big a bubbler i wufd not be able to empty it was my concern. pump it out for 10 bucks

do me a favor and rep me again but first hit the plus sign so i get positive rep lol, everyone gives me rep but forgets to hit the plus sign first so its pointless, well 400 w HID, can cover 6 plants up and going healthy into flower if your going to grow them all fully do six. If your going to clone and stuff you will have more room to put clones in a bubbler system. If their not fem seeds make 8 or more sites so that when you figure out which how many are males you will have more seeds going to increase odds becuz u will have to cut down males if you dont want seeds and want more bud.

What you grow is only as good as what you know

Highlife, I have a few questions for you if you would be so kind to answer.

FIRST, the self built system you have, is nothing but a rubbermaid (or roughneck in your case) tub with the holes cut in the toip for the baskets, and air pump going to a flat disc air stone for misiting and that's it ???? It's THAT simple ??? How high do you have to keep the water level in the tub, is there a minimum or maximum level it has to be kept at ??

SECOND, concerning the +reps you are talking about. When I click on the scale up top to give a rep it only asks me to approve or disapprove, there is nowhere for me to give +++'s

And LAST, concerning water changes and cleaning the totes, if they are so inexspensive then wouldn't it be easier to just go buy another rubbermaid tub and have a spare to change over to when doing a water change, that way you wouldn't have to hang the plants over the tub (or toilet,lol) and you would always have an extra, clean resovoir to put in place. You would literally take the top off one and put right down onto the new one already cleaned and filled with new water, then just clean the dirty one and have it ready for the next change. It's just a thought and/or suggestion, that's all.

good point to toke over. but then again imagine lol yourself with all that water sloshing around as yu try and lift it. thats 10 gals all over yurself. true it aint that hard but i dreaming of the least work, like a break after having to lug my 5 gallon netween the flower room and the sleep room, my tents are on the way i thinking of a 10 gal or so like mr hilefes there then just throwing in a 10 dollar fountain pump form rite aid the same price as another rubbermaid tub and using that for 2 week reservoir changes. i always think it funny to call the dwc a reservoir because simple it is, but thats why i love it

I wasn't thinking about lifting it Eharmony. In MY specific case, mine will be sitting directly on the carpet floor, if I choose to go this route, mine would just slide right out and the new one would just slide right in, no lifting required but that would be in MY specific case. It was just a thought, that's all.

1.- To answer your first question, yes its this simple for a killer setup that grows monster plants fast. The airstone bubbles oxygen into the water allowing the roots to sit in water 24/7 without drowning because the pump delivers oxygen to the inner roots. The water level must remain at a minimum of touching the medium where your growing enough to hydrate it, water bubbling without touching the nets wont grow a thing. A max water level would be an inch below the top of the net, you dont want to flood your medium that suspending the roots too much.

2.- Yes, when i say plus i meant approve me, not disapprove lol

3.-Yes, my first tub was so disgusting i threw it away and also i wanted an improvement without wasting space, now i have just a tall enough tub for some massive roots. Just get a sponge when you clean your tub, its all part of the job folks!

even if you have a pump the tub will be lined with crap to be cleaned. Get a drain to put on the bottom of your tub with a small hose. You dont need a pump this way because gravity is your pump. then once you drain it just wipe off the inside of the reservoir and refill. Or say fuck it and set an unopened trash bag in the bottom and pour the water in and put the top on, this only works for tubs that can be completely covered by the trash bags or you can use multiple bags to cover it, once the water is on top the bag wont move until you dump it. I am cleaning my Bubble system once these seeds germinate so ill post pics with a trash bag liner, yes everyone simple cheap shit can grow the dankest nugs ;0

UPDATE-
Added another stone and a more powerful 2 output air pump for 20 bux at petsmart. So now two 5 inch airstones and an up to 30 gallon reservoir powerful pump power my bubbler ;0

Excellent Highlife, thanks. Is the water level you have it at in the pics usually the water level you try and keep it at or needs to be kept at ?? Also, what is the timer in the pic for ? Do you run the pumps 24/7 or is that what the timer is for ? Or is the timer for lights or something entirely different ? Thank you again.
