thats a great idea but i don't have the cash to invest in it nor do i own a camera since mine broke so that would be another investment for me. though i hope to see others build one

peace

1/2inch hose and putting 6 what i like to call TEETH
in it. they are barb tubes big enough for air hose to fit on. anyways i
stabbed 6 holes into the 1/2inch tubing and put the 6 teeth in there... and
the on one end of the 1/2 inch tubing i put a 1/2inch plug

Where did you get the barb tubes and how did you make them water tight into the 1/2 tubing.

whats the point of the water pump? couldnt you just fill the water level up to the pots and not have to worry about a water pump? thanks

i guess you could do that, it would be alot like a bubble bucket, but this way you can put the seeds right into the system.. harder to do that with bubble buckets. im working on a new system though so ill keep you updated

I have the bubbleponics system from Stealthhydro.com, and I do agree that it would be eazy to get the parts for the system; however, the kit from stealthhydro.com takes all the guessing and/or questions outta the picture, everything is included to grow with and the price isn't at all outrageous like every other web site. I did plenty of searching and after tweaking for about 2 days on the question found their kit to be the best value. $250 for everything (lights and all) is worth the investment.

Yeah i guess if you dont have lights it might be worth it.

It was better for me to just build.

To me you need more bubbles than the disc produces but thats just me.

and there is no way you can fit 6 full grown females in the end so transplanting will have to be done.

By the way does anyone know on an average of how many plants one can grow in this set up like for about 4weeks of vegg before flower on a average indica/sativa strain?

After using the 6 plant system from stealthhydro.com I don't see having more than 6 girls in that setup, maybe like 8 or 10 clones let em veg for like 3 & 1/2 wks then flower, probably better to use a floodtable for that kinda garden
