I'm just getting started. I haven't purchased anything yet. Just doing some research on how I will be starting, since this will be my very first attemp to grow marijuana
I do have a question. Has anyone ever used the bubbleponics system from Stealth Hydro?

and do you leave the pump running full time or do you just set the pump to run 3 times a day. or just let the bubbler run. Here's the link to the system
I'm thinking about starting out with.

SH Hydroponics, Inc. > Bubbleponics™ 6 Planter Starter Kit

let me know what you think.

Thanks

Best to run the pump on intervals. I bought a recycling timer and run 12 min on 20 min off 24/7. Seems to be working well at that schedule. I'm still trying to come up with a solution to the problem. I used to let the pump run only when the lights were on but I had a few plants dampen off (stem rot). The other work around I found was by keeping the water level a little bit lower in the bucket. That way the water dripped out instead of spraying out like it was. Hope that helps.

Ya know, I built my own and it was cheap and easy and is the best thing I have ever done in my life.... ok maybe not, but it was cheap and easy, and it grows like there is no tomorrow. Maybe you should build your own save the money and invest in good genetics, or a good ph/ppm meter or some movies or food or....

Check out filthyfletch's 30 minute aero build thread. For bubble ponics all you gotta do is eliminate the aero parts and put in a drain plug or valve. I built one for less than $30. I made my own pots out of plastic coffee containers.
$8- 17 gal. tote
$2-$4- drain valve
$8- air pump, on sale regular price $12
$4- $10- for airstones and tubing
Like patjack said, this set up will grow weed fast if you keep the water, nutes and, ph in check. Oh yeah, I used left over aquarium rock (pea sized).
Way better than spending the money on the commercial stuff. Filthyfletch will even build you one. Don't know how much though. Good luck.
P.S. Weed is always better grown in your home-made stuff.
